Between ordering and receiving the phone, I had serious doubts about the fact that this is an import Germany, especially as I was reading some reviews here rather negative (doubts about the laptop import Germany, doubts the fact that it is new, the incompatible SIM, on language change, the German applications). In summary, I am very satisfied with my samsung galaxy s3, I received one day before the scheduled date. It is entirely new, with everything in the box (eg charger, headset, user manual in English and German, Battery). The portable import Germany is exactly the same as S3 sold in France, it has just 3 applications easily identifiable German (Type Bild newspaper) and easily removable. All other original common applications are present. The product is NEW. Regarding the SIM card, the phone is unlocked and accepts all SIM cards, that on the Galaxy S3 is a micro SIM card must be inserted, ie the central and detachable part of your SIM card, do not worry, you will immediately know how. The language is selectable from the very first spark.
