The model on sale from today is the Wi-Fi only version with 16GB of internal storage and is priced at £339. A customer service representative from the Samsung Experience store in Westfields Stratford City told ZDNet that he did not think higher capacity versions would be making their way to the UK, citing the microSD expansion slot as a solution for extra storage needs.
