People sure had high hopes for the
curvy Samsung
Galaxy Round, though Sammy's new boy made it obvious that a truly
flexible experience (straight out of a sci-fi flick) is out of the
scope of possibilities it brought to the table. In fact, it would
appear that we're still a few years away from that.
Nevertheless, it's a novel concept,
and it sure is interesting, despite the simple fact that it appears
to be more for show than anything else, at least for now. It's
therefore not too surprising to see e-tailers like Negri Electronics
banking on its novel curvature in order to draw interest for a
phone that wasn't meant to be had outside of South Korea. The
folks over at Negri seem to disagree with that limitation, or
actually envision that people will be willing fork out a whopping
and that's for a backorder. This could indicate one of two
things – either Negri managed to sell their batch of Galaxy Rounds
rather quickly since their October 31 pre-order, or they never got
them at all. Either way, while the price tag alone is an instant
turn-off for most people, there are the rare individuals who like
owning the newest, most hot tech on the market.
Speaking of options, Australian
MobiCity has also apparently managed to kidnap some Galaxy Round
units from their homeland, and are offering the device for
but again – it's on backorder, though it also held a pre-sale, just
like Negri Electronics.
Those are some not-nice-looking price
tags, yet it's definitely better to have the option than not, right?
