Samsung Galaxy S II price and availability?

---

How much will SGS2 cost? When will it be available i stores in Europe?

Considering LG Optimus 2X or SGS2. Will of course depends on when SGS2 comes and how much it costs.

Edit:
04.03.2011: I've talked to Samsung Nordic, and they said that they expected the phone to be released in may.

Expansys have it priced up the 16GB model at £649.99 with a release date of April 18th:

Expansys.co.uk - Samsun Galaxy S II

But Handtec on the other hand display both a 16GB model and a 32GB model, the 16GB at £515.99 and the 32GB at £635.99, so I am assuming Expansys has incorrectly given the 32GB price to the 16GB model. Handtec have not released a date, but are taking pre-orders.

Handtec.co.uk - Samsung Galaxy S II 16GB
Handtec.co.uk - Samsung Galaxy S II 32GB

Pricey, but there is a lot of new, expensive tech in there (SAMOLED+ 4.3" screen, dual core CPU, 1GB RAM e.t.c) so I am not surprised. I personally am waiting for it to come out on contract, and although a couple of carriers have announced it (Three is the only one I remember), no one has announced dates or prices yet. Three have said it will be available on the One plan.

US Release?

i wouldn't wait for the USA release

i'll just buy it direct from Handtec.co.uk is a well trusted company

just like expensive... erhhh i mean expansives

I've ordered mine from Clove in the UK 440 pounds, since I don't have to pay VAT. Now the long wait until April/May...

Thanks l0st.prophet, i think now iam done comparing sgs2 and atrix.
I go for sgs2, handtec will probably get my money

Does anyone have an expectation when it will come to europe? Will it be released in Europe simultaneous?

they'l ship it to the us????? whats the with and without vat mean? (I know that vat is a tax, but do i have 2 pay it) basically which price will i be paying for the 16 gb from handtec and will they ship it 2 the us? will i be able to get android updates in the us if it is a uk phone? Will it have a carrier branding? (i no that its unlocked) will it be a stock touchwhiz 4.0 with no carrier crap?

last few times i purchased stuff online from UK i was charged the VAT even though they were not supposed to

i buy a lot of biking stuff online, and electronics

does anyone know any good korean retailers that ship these phones worldwide? (canada)

I hear the international sgs2 will work on bell/rogers/telus out of the box, that and the koreans seem to pay less for their gadgets.

i paid $500 canadian for the first sgs so paying £614 doesn't sound too appealing :P

Yes the galaxy s II will work on aT&t, rogers, etc.
It supports 850, 900, 1900 and 2100 MHZ HSDPA bands, which is sexy.
