Why do we get technical gadgets after everyone else?

Case in point: Cell phone

almost all new cell phones/ smart phones are release oversea first then after a couple of months, it's release here in the U.S.?

anxiously waiting for the Galaxy SIII to arrive here.

The simple answer: you take your product to the place that will give you the highest turnover, since the lifespan of electronic decline drastically.

Its already obsolete by the time its release.

U. S. carriers are going to get in the program earlier this round. Galaxy SIII is coming June 21st, which is less than a month after European release.

Good thing I still got my free Samsung flip phone from 6 years ago .  Honestly, who needs a smart phone when you still roll with the flip?

[nraughmoobmuas]

People have different wants and needs.

Even India got the Samsung Galaxy S3 before us.

A lot of companies are from overseas do their products will be released overseas first. Samsung is from Korea. Apple is in the US and iPhones are released here first. And then u got other things that factor in. International versions of the Galaxy S2 and S3 use a dual-core Exynos and quad-core Exynos processor. But because they're not compatible with 4G LTE and 4G LTE isn't as widespread as it is in the US they then have to use weaker dual-core Snapdragons but they're 4G LTE compatible.  The just recently got a 4G LTE compatible quad-core Exynos but of course that version of the GS3 is coming out in Korea first.

if you want your overseas tech, then special order or direct from them. you can go overseas to get them when it launches too; h/e there may not be much support, if any, until it breaks into u.s.markets. as for mobile phones, I am thinking of HTC brand and will buy one unlocked, when it hits the u.s. market.

because they can make more money selling unlocked devices they usually sell them for a lot. and US Markets don't usually get them so that means the phones cost even more. international Galaxy S3 are high sought after because of their quad-core processors instead of the dual-core version used in the US versions and they're expensive. also because AT&T and Verizon rather sell phones for their 4G LTE we won't see the international versions. but it's pretty easy to unlock the phones yourself. my Galaxy S is unlocked and I've unlocked HTC phones too.
