It seems as if carriers and retailers can't decide what to charge for their smartphones. Yesterday we reported that the HTC ThunderBolt had two different prices in different Best Buy publications - $249.99 and $299.99. T-Mobile last week announced that the price for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G would be $149.99 with a February 23 release date.
T-Mobile updated the original news release with corrected pricing information.
"The Galaxy S 4G is expected to be available from T-Mobile for $199.99
with qualifying plan on two-year service agreement after a $50
mail-in-rebate card. Taxes and fees additional."
Wirefly, however, is discounting the new price for it. The Galaxy S 4G has a lower buzz factor on Google than the Motorola Atrix (read review), HTC Inspire (read review) and HTC ThunderBolt. Specs of the Samsung Galaxy S 4G include Android 2.2 Froyo, a
front-facing camera, 4-inch
Super AMOLED touchscreen, 1GHz processor, 16GB memory onboard, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, and a 5-megapixel camera with HD video recording. At Mobile
World Congress, Samsung announced the latest Samsung Galaxy S phone, the Samsung Galaxy S II.
T-Mobile claims that the Samsung Galaxy S 4G is the fastest smartphone, running with theoretical peak download speeds of up to 21 Mbps. It comes preloaded with the movie Inception. The Samsung Galaxy S 4G features HD TV with Samsung Media Hub and video chat with Qik.
Samsung Galaxy S smartphones in the U.S. currently include the Samsung Epic 4G, Samsung Fascinate, Samsung Captivate and Samsung Vibrant.
