Samsung Galaxy S II now shipping for $100 in America... on Alaska's GCI

Leave it the regional folks to spoil the thunder of the Big Four. While we were all led to think that Sprint's Epic 4G Touch would be the first subsidized Galaxy S II to officially land in the US of A, it looks as if Alaska's GCI has beat 'em all to the punch -- and in more areas than one. A tipster residing in The Last Frontier just picked one up today, and best of all, it's running a solid Benjamin less than it will on those other operators. It's compatible with the company's "4G" (read: HSPA+) network, and for those unfamiliar with its portfolio, it's also offering the iPhone 4 to locals. Unadulterated wilderness? Yep. Northern Lights? Definitely. Early / cheap access to the year's hottest Android smartphone? Evidently. So, who's up for a little northern exposure?
