Samsung Galaxy S II coming in mid to late March for a steep price

That's way too pricey. For example LG Optimus 2X's preorder price is 150 euros less in my country and even that is expensive.

no way would i purcahse any phone at this price. i will probably purchase the lg optimus as im due an upgrade to get this free on contract probably at least £40 over 24 months.

Rip off

I still do not know why anyone would buy a phone, if they already have a more modern smartphone with a 1ghz processor, before the end of the year when all of the monster phones will come out with the quad cores. By the end of the year the phones will truly be able to pull off what the Atrix purports to do: become a laptop. I will wait until then because my rooted Evo is still good enough for anything I want to do-save take pictures in lowlight conditions or with moving subjects.

m user of n900. . m very very infact more than very happy with it. . i really thought this as my next . GS-2 is a beast of a device , but its sad samsung making it not so easy to get it. .
i would not buy it for so much instead put some more dollars and get a laptop!!!

Totally extreme prices,we all know apple charge way over the top for their products trying to catch people in the 'premium' feel but these prices for android will never be accepted by the alert android population. With the Motorola Atrix,optimus 2x,optimus 3d being comparable in tech but far far cheaper Samsung might have a big disappointment on their hands

WOW! Who in their right mind would pay that much for a mobile phone?? Samsung will fail unless they drop it down to $400-$600 range.

just my 2 cents

So expensive, I won't be able to buy it here where the dolar is 4.15 ----- :-(

No way would I ever pay this kind of an amount for a smartphone. I had my "limit" set for 300€ a way back then, then I raised it to 400€ only knowing that there isn't much of a difference between 300€ and 400€ phones, so I raised it again to 500€, but I would NEVER pay 600€ or more for a phone. Seriously a 1GHz singlecore phone will be enough for many years if you ask my opinion. Dualcores and quadcores won't "take over" because their price-tags will be set accordingly. Besides most games will still be "arcade-like" and will easily be played with a 1GHz processor if even the 3D ones play nicely. I don't think games like "Infinity Blade" will just roam over other games in the market. It's still a handset, not a gaming console, so people will like to play more "casual" games and leave the hardcore games to more suited devices with bigger screens and proper gaming pads. Systems like the PC, Xbox360 and PS3 and their followers. A touchscreen for "hardcore" games? Unlikely... Good luck at getting headshots with that :D

cause you know, those samsung galaxy S' feel like premium products to deman such a high price...I think it would feel more sturdy in the hand if they made it from paper...

Wow Too expensive. I bet it won't receive updates until months later just like the first generation of GS

It's same old story... Galaxy S was considered to cost as much as 1000$ before getting to the stores, but a little later it fell to more acceptable prices :-) I hope it's the same situation, and Galaxy S2 ends up at 600$... :-P

it seems like clove UK is the one who set the high price.
anyway, the price would be $199 with a 2year contract in US market. it won't be higher than that.

i dont know whats the fuss... ALL PHONES HERE IN EUROPE CAN BE OBTAINED FOR FREE ON A 40-50EUR+ A MONTH(24) CONTRACT... SO WILL BE THIS... That price is irrelevant from a consumers point(and probably will be lowered when the phone will be released...)

18. malindalk (Posts: 10; Member since: 03 Jan 2011)

Too Expensive I think HTC Thunderbolt or LG Optimus 2X are better!!...………..

rip off. If the pre order is going for $820 (16gb), who will order it. Sammy you have to drop the price at least $200-250 to compete with Atrix and other dual-core goodies.

21. OfcJScottG (Posts: 9; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)

Hell NO!!!!! Especially given how buggy the first version of the Galaxy S was!!

22. pecemaloto (Posts: 23; Member since: 17 Dec 2010)

Hello, there are websites for pre-order at 550 euros!
I would say something but you'd probably sue me.

"Update: We just found a couple of other retailers that offer it at the more reasonable price of €600 and even a Swiss shop that has it for €550 with a late May shipping schedule."
hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wouldn't expect less from phonearena!

28. Zachwww (unregistered)

It won't be that much on a contract it wouldnt be anymore then like 250-300 on contract in the u.s. With those specs hands down I'd pay up to 350-400 for a 2 year contract with this phone
