I'm looking to buy the Samsung Pixon 12 M8910 as a 2nd phone, I know that it is released in Europe at the end of this month from what i have read but it's not due here until August/September so could i buy it from Europe and use it here in the UK without any problems?

Cheers.

Depending on the country you'll buy it from, you might not get an English manual, but I suppose that's no problem ?
You'll need a Euro->UK adapter for the charger, though.

No, we in mainland Europe have a 2-pin type of charger and in the UK they have a 3-pin charger.
But the adapters, also used by tourists, cost only 3 or 4 pounds, they are cheaper than a new UK charger.

You will be able to use the phone, however if you try get the phone repaired at any point the warranty wont be valid and the phone wont be repaired as the phone will have a non uk DPY code.
