The good news is here: Samsungs latest unlocked version I8000 is now available at Amazon on pre order, sportingly quad-band HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100 and GSM.

Got that in? Awesome, but the bad news is that: the current price is about $999.99. Ouch. Let’s hope that it will be subsidized when we get it through a carrier (sounds like, Verizon?).

So if you are willing to have this without the cost as an issue, go ahead and get one copy — no release dates have been listed, so be ready to endure.
