Look here!

...while this Samsung model has already fallen below $750 in the US at some stores, it is priced at a whopping ~£1,000 in the UK, which works out at around US$1,870 or about 2.5 times their current lowest US pricing...
So the usual happens. Whoever else wins, the long-suffering British consumer ends up broke/without their latest fancy gadget. Although this case has to take the crown of ripoffs.
