pricing

[gregba]

If this comes out on Tmobile and Sprint at $199 on contract, before VZW gets it, what are the chances big red doesnt screw us with a $299 price tag?

$249 is my limit

Plan on paying $299.00. All their LTE phones are at that price point.

Not exactly. The TBolt and Revolution both started at $249. Only the Charge was at $299. That said, I'd expect the GSII to come out at $299 IF it has LTE. If only 3G, I'd say the max is $249.

Ahh yes that's right!

But if you are willing to wait a few months the price will drop.

I think we have all waited "a few months" already

3G = $199
4G = $299

If they charged $299 for the Charge, you can definitely bet they'll do the same for the SGSII. However, Preach said he knew a GSII tester and said it wasn't an LTE device. So, there is no definitive answer, but your price range is between $199-$299. If it does end up with LTE save up an extra $50 from next pay day and pick it up. It'll be worth it.

This...I doubt that if it was 3G it would be more than 199. That would be suicidal.

Well CK said it was LTE and he swears by his source so I guess we will find out soon enough if it is lte or 3g.

I didn't say "swear" I said trust lol. They were wrong on a couple of occasions but have a REALLY REALLY good batting average

Well I meant it as you put alot of faith in it not that you actually said swear lol. I just find it hard to believe that the testers say it is 3g since they are the ones with hands on and report any bugs and that back that they would not know what they are talking about unless they did a complete redesign like the bionic went through but I highly doubt that happened.

i'd also put my money on the gs2 coming out with lte. we've already confirmed (albeit with leaks) that sprint's version has wimax, and t-mo's version has hspa+. i can't foresee vzw getting a 3g-only version and losing a lot of (potential) customers to their competitors

I'm not aware of any testers leaking info right now. Where did you see this?

Newbie here and I thought I would throw this out there if no one has seen it yet. Looks like Samsung's able to throw the LTE radio in a similar sized phone according to the report on Phonearena.."The new Korean LTE version of the SII"

Galaxy S II gets an LTE version, spotted in Korea - Phone Arena

According to Is this Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Phone codenamed Celox? - Sammy Hub

Looks like it's going to Germany.

Interesting that they threw the Snapdragon in there.

 

[rupst2]

If it comes out same time as Bionic, it will not be LTE and will be priced $199 vs Bionic $299.

If it comes out end of Sept it will have LTE for $299.

@ rupst2 - I assume you are just speculating???

If the SGSII doesn't have the Exynos in it then I don't want it. To me that was honestly the only thing keeping me on board with the phone. And I will definitely take OMAP over Snapdragon any day of the week.
