2 Questions.

1.Can anyone who remembers after how long UK only Phones (NOT available in the USA) released in India by samsung predict the launch date of the Galaxy S Advance?
Its already available for pre-booking in the UK: Buy Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070 & Official Accessories

2. WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE WHEN THE GALAXY R WAS AVAILABLE FOR ONLY 20K? :cry:

I guess Samsung HAS to set the price right cuz the competition would be HTC ONE V & Sony Xperia P & U, and from the leaked pics of them they are Extremely good looking!

Do you have any idea how much the SGR cost when it was released?

Haha yes I know, 27K
But how would it help the phone if it releases at a much higher price and it takes 2-3 months of low sales to fall?
Besides the similar spec'd Galaxy S Plus is available for only 20K!

Hahahah
Correction!
the Galaxy S Plus for only 19K! WITH Manu. Warranty!

see and compare other phone's pricing which have been already launched in india....you will see a difference

it might be priced a bit higher at launch though

Galaxy S Advance is better than Galaxy R. The only advantage of Galaxy R is 256mb more ram and 0.3" bigger screen. Otherwise all the aces are with SGA.
If its priced well (< 25k)it will also bring down the cost of Galaxy S plus. That will make both the phones vfm.

Galaxy S Advanced is actually not supposed to be a replacement of SGR. So, dont expect the price to be so low at launch. Even internationally its almost near SGSII price...
