I may have an idea on why its priced high..Apparently the guys over at ifixit.com have revealed they are using magnesium instead of aluminium in the dsign.There has to be a way they can create 4.3 inches of screen at that thinness so i suppose the magnesium(magnesium alloy)is creating the strength,at a cost tho.

      This is called stupidity. Expecting so much from the people they raised the prices by almost 1.6 times the SGS which is not justifiable. Well again samsung proved itself to be the biggest fool among its competitors. Such an high price i guess they have got their mind into some kind of ****.

                        what is going on with the pricings of all smartphones?It`s getting higher and higher.I could justify this if the phone was made out of gold or something but they are not.They are all made in china with average material (plastic covers, etc) giving minimum wages to the workers.It all comes down to the global meltdown or maybe the greed of the company making maximum profit.

                          I would never pay this price for a phone in general so imagine paying it for samsung no way!!

                          If it was Apple or Sony I may have over looked it but samsung ???!! A lot of insane things are happening nowadays.

                          Paying all this money for a product that is referred to as cheap and a clone of iphone is not worth it, so just imagine if it's with this price tag.

                              People, chill! When Galaxy S I was released, the price was announced between 550-650 euros, but now the SGS is selling for 350-400 euros ...

                              I'm sure that the price will drop after 1-2 months

                                      People seem to forget about Nokia's 8800 series phones which soon after release cost £800 upwards on ebay....

                                      Still it does seem rather expensive (compared to the Nexus S), considering it's just a dual core handset. By the time my contract is due for renewal in 13months time. I expect dual core will be the norm

                                        The price of smartphones are starting to get ridiculously high. Smartphone and laptops are starting go cost same.
