Why do you think the S2 is so inexpensive, relatively speaking

[tunie]

All the other new phones seemed to start off in the $189-$199 range. Since the S2 is an industry game changer, I can't figure out why it's starting off at such a low price. The Infuse was more expensive. Do you think another new phone it about to hit? Nexus Prime? Or, are they trying to compete with Apple's new iPhone?

How do you figure it's a game changer?

Well, I thought it was since the world seemed to be waiting for it, along with the fact that it's dual core. I thought that's why it sold millions right out of the gate.

It is a game changer (T-mobiles version, Hercules; 4.5", 1.5ghz, etc). And it is $550 plus $70 for protector and case. It's an expensive sport ($100/month including wi-fi), but I l love it!

Darn, I wish ATT's version was 4.5. Lucky you! What I couldn't figure out was why Costco is selling it for less out of the gate than both the Atrix and Infuse. Maybe they're just trying to catch up on sales because of the delay. I'm going to check it out tomorrow at Costco to see if the smaller screen is workable.
