Imaginary numbers right now-
phone price-$600 outright or $200 contract
Plan $80/month=$1920 after two years
pay full for phone= $2520 or contract =$2120. You save the difference in the price

          Trash cans R luvly, 05 Jun 2012So high?!? I'd WISH to pay $200 for SGSIII. I have to pay 2... morethe price difference is due to the fact that the service provider subsidizes the price of the phone but instead locks you into a very strict 2 year agreement. By the end of year 1, you already paid up the device and the provider pockets a lot of money. If you have money, buy phone outright. Otherwise, over the life of the contract you pay almost double for the phone. I hope this helps...

                        And what about Europe? Samsung started sellind the SGS 3 in Europe on May 29th and we're still to see the Blue version here. Maybe Samsung should focus on providing enough units to the market where it's already launched, before launching it everywhere?

                            T-Mobile could had the quad core version. now every carrier now has one make less stand out, beside the S3, their simply don't got other phone toe to toe with other carrier.
