The RAZR also has no SD card slot. Nor does the 4s. I can see a pattern emerging and it makes complete business sense imo.

Yeah it does,

I think...

I'm gonna go check

Gsmarena seems to think it has a micro SD slot.

It does have a microSD card slot, and comes with a 16GB card (apparently).

i would test it first, the artrix was one of the first duel core super spec's and runs like a dog. my HTC desire was way faster

Chiz · 27 Oct 2011 at 13:29

Oops!

sorry for giving wrong info guys!

I'm sure I read somewhere there was no SD card slot on the RAZR, obviously not

So far the hands on stuff seem to think its very fast and fluid. I don't think that will be a problem with the razr. The atrix was released as a well specced budget phone, the razr is being released as a high end phone.

Guys.....

Just off the phone with Expansys...

They do not have a scheduled delivery date yet unfortunately.

I asked them regarding whether or not they will be stocking the 32gb version, since it's not being released in the UK. Her reply was "WE DO NOT BUY THEM FROM THE UK".

so Expansys potentially could be a good bet for the 32gb.

i can't grumble with the hands on, but i disagree with the atrix being a well speced budget phone, at the time of release it was the best phone out.

Thanks for the update. I've preordered the 32GB from them, so here's hoping!

Now a new price and date from the rainforest:

£549.99 - This item is due to be released on November 17, 2011.

sarge78 · 27 Oct 2011 at 14:50

Why is every big Samsung Android release £549.99 for pre order? (Nexus S, SGS2 etc)

November 17th is too far away. I'd pay £50 on top of that to have it in my hands next week easily!

Scottland · 27 Oct 2011 at 14:55

I'm not pre-ordering it from anywhere just yet. I'm expecting/hoping the price will be <£500, with maybe some deals from places like CPW or as PayGo as the S2 was.

I picked up my S2 on release week for £450 from CPW.

Usually when you pre order something, there's no obligation to go through with the purchase unless you're happy so I see no reason why not to pre order. I've pre ordered from 2 places

IvanDobskey · 27 Oct 2011 at 16:11

Will the prices have dropped a bit by early december you reckon? I'm due my o2 upgrade then and i'm happy to be patient and wait

I simply refuse to be ripped off as an early adopter.

yeah when you have the SGS2 for £350, its hard to see how they can charge more than £500,

£450 would be sweet for me

Who is selling the SGII for £350... tempting!

mrk · 27 Oct 2011 at 16:29

I might

All depends on how the GN pans out

The SGSII was £530 on release day. A couple of days later CPW offered it with an O2 PAYG SIM for either £399 or £449 (I forget which) but that only lasted a week until they realised everyone threw the O2 SIM away and unlocked the phone to use with their own network. They then put the price up to £500 or £530 (again, I forget which now)

Look back at the Nexus S, it was dialed up by everyone at just over £500 for a week or so before release and literally two days before release it dropped to £430.

Personally, if I was to bet on a price, I would go with £499 SIM free.

I was going to buy this phone but was put off by a few things like camera, sd card and all the rest, i went for the iphone in the end. To be honist the only thing that put me off the iphone was the smaller screen, but after using someone elses for a bit I realised the screen size is just fine for me. Never had a smartphone before and its brilliant but I dont have anything to compare it to.
