Galaxy R was an amazing spec sheet and they missed a trick by withdrawing it in India. It would have been the phone people went to if they could not afford the S2. But they withdrew it as it ate into S2 sales. Unfortunately the move backfired and they lost to HTC, Sony and even Motorola's Atrix2.
Samsung said on getsatisfaction.com that Galaxy R was launched with limited stock. So whatever quantity was available with retailers, that was it.
But on various websites such as xda dev forum, flipkart etc users had reported so many issues like restart prob, data connection lost, hangs a lot, battery and this particular model had so many motherboard issues that they had to discontinue it. That is another speculation behind it's sudden discontinuation.
