But they cant compete if they are not subsidised. Unlocked the HD2 has been priced at 600 Euro's, when converted to $US how many people will buy at that price?
Take away the typical PPCT/Xda/custom rom flashing user and there is virtually no "high end" market in the US, everybody seemingly wants a $99 phone. The Samsung Instinct HD was priced at $249 and it was called too expensive, T-Mobile and Sprint's TP2's went for $350 and they were slammed for their price, when Verizon priced their's at $199 after rebate they were hailed and there are now claims that they are sold out of their TP2. Without a carrier subsidy the HD2 will undoubtedly have abysmal sales which will only be more fodder for the "WM is dead" crowd.
