Isn't it amazing that the SGSII was released in Iraq and Pakistan before USA?

In Iraq the Galaxy S II 'GT-I9100', was released in Baghdad on July 18, 2011, by Jibal Company.

In Pakistan the Galaxy S II 'GT-I9100' was launched officially on 23 July 2011.[17]

[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Making the world free to habe better phones than us....
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
so the iphone 5 will have a carrier cost of $500? So if someone wanted to buy it off contract it would cost them more? Or are they supposed to sell it at $500 and make nada? And they'll be selling it most likely at $200 on contract so they're only eating $300 which they'll make back over the course of the two year contract. So at about $1920 paid for service over the course of two years they're taking in a gross amount of $1620. And they won't be making money until 2014 off of that how? It's not like Sprint is writing them a lump sum check and recouping after the fact.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
and now we see the other shoe drop on sprint tryign to block the attmobile merger... can't steal tmobiles iphoneless subs if they become ATT
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
They'll have to sell it for more than $500 off contract, no question. My bet would be $600. I don't think I've seen anything higher than $600, ever.

As for the other math, not bad, but not everything Sprint takes in is profit. The $80/mo average bill is probably about right, but it's not like it doesn't cost them money to keep their 'lights on' so to speak. So you have to take a chunk out of that in terms of what Sprint will actually be making.

Either way, I would have a hard time believing any company would get an exlcusive iPhone after it's been now on both Verizon and AT&T. I would think it would hurt Apple quite a bit to have them only on one carrier after they've been on multiple. Doesn't seem to make any sense.
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
I know that's not all profit. Just think these journalists blow things out of proportion. If that's gross revenue over two years, there is profit in there. And they are not paying for all those phones up front. So I just don't see how they won't make money until 2014. Doesn't seem to make sense.

And Sprint just made a long term investment in Apple. Just like an aging ball player going for a new contract. One team offers a 3yr contract and another team offers 4. Maybe Sprint was willing to go more long term to get a quarter of exclusivity.

As far as $500, I'm just surprised they pay that much. It's about $100 more than I thought.

I just know I'm buying the Epic Touch before the 5th so I can throw it on the company bill and not see it :)

Actually, they usually release on a Monday, so it would be on the 10th. If that's the plan there should be something in tonight's playbook. Don't get your hopes too high though. The lack of new RDFs may just mean they have moved their efforts to fixing something else for the time being.
