No, the profit goes to Apple, who MAY use portions of the profits to fund US operations. However, as Samsung has US-based branches, their US-based operations benefit the US economy as well. But then Samsung's products are also manufactured in China!

Also, a company that is based in another country but has major operations in your own CAN benefit your economy more than a domestic one, in theory. What's more, South Korea is a major economic ally of the US's, so benefiting them can benefit us indirectly.

Point is, unless it's an American company that manufactured it in America with American-made parts, the economics of the situation are much, much too complicated for the average Joe to bother with.

Galaxy S, the old one.

What is Wind Mobile?

T-Mobile in the US has changed a lot then! Our plan (a normal Family Plan) costs 222$ a month before taxes and that is only with two data plans. O_o Their plans are still pretty flexible, I guess. Sprint seems to be dying even though they were first to get 4G and they now have the iPhone. It's most likely due to their really slow speeds.

That one, and it sucks LOL

Right now, Wind Mobile is only implanted in big cities in Canada but their rates are really competitive, I currently pay $29 for unlimited talk/text/data (as long as I stay in the zone, I've learned that the hard way)

Geez. How much do they charge if you go outside the "zone."

I think it's 20 cents per text, 25 cents per minute calling and a shitload for data (10 cents / 25Kb)

Sony Ericsson Arc. Surprised I'm the first. Awesome phone, with a great looking design and it's easy to hold despite the large form factor.

I also dig the screen :P it's pretty great.

I would get that phone if I were able to buy it on contract!
