Pricing details are not confirmed as yet, and we would update this post as soon as we hear more. All said, this really seems to be a nice addition to the Galaxy Stable of devices. Way to go, Samsung!!! If you’re on the lookout for a decent digital camera, you may want to wait a bit till this baby is released and check it out.
Why is it every time Samsung announces a new product we are al waiting months to get it. Apple announce the new Iphone was release and within 10 days it is in store and in the consumer hands. I think i will give this camera and future samsung products a miss. I am quite pissed at how they market their products.
Actually, Samsung has started releasing their phones quite fast after their announcement, like the Galaxy Note 2 was out one month later, so was the Galaxy S3. But yeah, it would be nice if they release it that early in the US as well, where their products take some time to reach.
A lot of the release date woes have to do with the crazy way carriers in the US like to cotroll the distribution. Individual carriers actually had different hardware specs for the gs2, in essences their own new phones, no wonder Samsung have a hard time, I Australia it’s just a lack of will on behalf of the carriers to get things hee fast, they think we don’t ha’ve access to the internet and wiki be stupid enough to sign a new 2 year contract for a note 1 motion this after the note 2 is out elsewhere in the world.
Then when the note 1 doesn’t sell well for that reason they do to see the need to offer the ntoe 2 since the previous didnth sell well.
Luckily I got mine and when they finally release it here in a few months I can sell it while the market price is still quite high and out it towards a gs4…assuming the Feb/march release rumors are true.
