Last week news surfaced that 'Samsung' and 'Verizon' are working on a special Developer Edition of their new Galaxy S III smartphone. The main feature of this device is that it will feature a user unlockable bootloader and will be sold without a contract for US$599 which amounts to 230 Omani Riyals.
The reason this model is necessary is because, unlike the Galaxy S III sold on other carriers in the US, the Verizon version ships with a locked bootloader.

The aforementioned Developer Edition is now official and can be spotted on Samsung's website. There is no price mentioned on the site but as we said US$599 is what you pay for it.
The price is not bad in our view because you will get 32GB of internal storage, which would typically cost you $649 if you were to get it from US carrier Verizon. According to the website, it seems that this model will only be sold in the Pebble Blue variant.
The Developer Edition will only be sold through Samsung's website and not through Verizon. No release date is available at the moment.
