Samsung Enterprise Edition Device

[X1tymez]

Looks like Sammy announced 4 years update on their devices, only in UK. Will any you guys jump aboard if this comes to U.S? The prices will be double.

This is really geared towards businesses and not consumers; by consumer, I mean non-enterprise customers. If I ran a business and provided phones to my employees, then yes I would probably jump on this if it was offered for a reasonable price.

I don't see consumers being able jump on this bandwagon or it being offered to non-enterprise customers.

Yeah continuity and guarantees against end-of-life for 4 years are great for the corporation, but personally you're still going to be like 'why can't I upgrade to that?' every month for 2-3 years.

As we know historically, the business customer was a stronghold of BlackBerry for the longest time.

Samsung might do it differently but IMO it's likely this will be a short term venture once they come to appreciate why no single hardware manufacturer can lock down that space. Blackberry found that out the hard way.

I think Samsung is well positioned to be a leading enterprise smartphone solution. Microsoft would be its only true competitor. Apple's push into the enterprise space has been half hearted at best.
