Question [Q] SA I9100 or GT I9100

Hello all!
I am in the USA for a few weeks and wanted to buy a GSII off of either Amazon or Ebay. Normally I am in Eastern Europe, and things like this cost more there.

I have been doing my research and found that there is a SA I9100 and a GT I9100. Is there a difference? I understand that SA is for South America, and GT... well what is that for? NA? EU? In any case, would I have any performance issues if I buy one vs the other? What should I be looking for? I want to buy it by Monday to allow it enough time to ship to me before I ship out, so I appreciate your quick responses.

Thank you very much, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Never heard of SA.. Just buy GT as it is the widely used and the main version of sgs2.. you can have lots of modifications with GT-i9100 in this forum..

Is there anything holding it back compared to the international version?

I cant't find the specs of SA dude.. but they said SA is South American i think.. but imho, you should buy GT because it is the widely used sgs2 and has more development in all of the sgs2 family.. like sgs vs sgsl.. sgs is the international veraion with alot of developers while sgsl is released only on specific part of the world.. sgsl is an awesome phone but has been neglected by developers.. so go fpr GT

Ok, sounds good. Did you hear anything about the "International Warranty" on the GT or SA? One of the main things that I liked about what I saw about the SA was that it had one, and I dont live in the USA

Also, i found a white one (ive always had black phones, wanted to try something new) with model number: GT-I9100RWA
I searched but couldnt find anything specific about it on this forum.
I did find this:http://icecat.cn/dk/p/samsung/gt-i91...-10646956.html
to compare it to another GSII ( GT-I9100LKA): http://icecat.co.uk/p/samsung/gt-i91...html?ti=offers
Are those letters at the end only to distinguish color?

Smile Diferencias.!

hi all. "excuse my English"
Reading what you ask I answer this SA-i9100, it's actually a GT-i9100G bringing another processor 4430 and IMAP is not the exynos we're used to seeing in black SGS2 .. look on google differences between the GT-i9100 SGS2 and GT-I9100G ..
I have the white and I can not root ..
