Alright so Bell has announced that they will carry the Galaxy S but as of yet they haven't given any launch dates. Today I got an email from Bell informing me of a contest where they plan to give away one every day until they launch the phone. So of course I entered. While looking through the rules I noticed when the contest ends. August 6th. So if what they're saying is right and the contest ends when the phone is launched that must mean launch date is the sixth or seventh, right? I know they're calling it the Vibrant, but from the shots I've seen I really just think it's an i9000 that they're calling a vibrant since it seems to have the front facing camera and such.
""Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant™ Pre-Launch" Contest

Just found this little tidbit while reading some info about this phone. It looks like IntoMobile received an invite to a Samsung launch party for an unannounced device. Guess we'll find out in a few weeks.
Can't post link since I'm new...doh
But is this for Tmobile or is it for all the U.S. carriers? I don't want to wait for like 3 months of Tmobile exclusivity until it comes to at&t.
Yea, I wish they would hurry up and announce a carrier. Hopefully it will come out to all 4 carriers so that nobody will be left out.
I've pasted the info from IntoMobile below:
"There are a lot of rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S launch date floating around the interwebs, but we’ve just received something that might point to a more reliable launch window for Samsung’s upcoming flagship Android phone. We’ve just been asked to save June 29th on our calendars for some mysterious Samsung launch party in New York City. Details are slim (well, none) at this point, but the invite to the smartphone maker’s launch event gets our speculative juices flowing.
The invite informs us that “Samsung Mobile brings you the next generation in Android phones.” Now, if you’ve been keeping up with Galaxy S rumors at all, you’ll know that this particular smartphone boasts a Super AMOLED display, the Hummingbird graphical powerhouse GPU, and is powered by the Android 2.1 OS. All that adds up to what is very likely considered by the South Korean mobile phone giant to be their next generation of Android phones.
Other rumors have the Galaxy S hitting T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) on July 21st. There’s also the possibility that the handset will hit AT&T (NYSE: T) later this year. We could see the handset being launched for one of these (or both) carriers on June 29th, but that’s just speculation. We really have no idea what this launch party is for, but we’d wager that it has something to do with the Galaxy."
I"m not sure I understand why it is so important to keep it all secret. While they go on and on not telling us anything, some folks will get tired of waiting and buy something else. I guess that's why I'm not in marketing...because some things just don't make sense to me.
Agreed. I just want the device as soon as possible. I don't know if it's only getting limited release because of quantity limitations or what, but they know they're going to sell a ton here in the US, why not just get it here?
June 29th?! Nice, that is same date they unveiled the SGS for US carriers! Here is hoping for another mid-july release!

I think you will find that could be what this thread was about, have a look at the dates posted. You're posting in a 11 month old thread.
Dear all, I was initially awaiting for the countdown of my DHD from Expansys, and supposedly its another 11 days to the 11th of Oct whereby our DHD will be released... But when I checked my order status just now, the estimated delivery date becomes 19 days... Is it that the system has problems, or is it that HTC decided to postpone the release date of DHD?
I'm expecting some sort of delay from HTC. I think we're probably going to be ending up looking towards the end of October for release and us actually having the handset in our hands.
MPD still says 11th. We shall see.
Jeez dont be saying that. I have sold my 2 phones and now working with an old Nokia which has the cover hanging off it.
I hope that aint true
If that is true i may have to go and buy an Orange San Francisco until then ...
T-mobile have delayed their launch it's in November now!
I've also put pre-order with mobilephonesdirect.com they were admant it will be 7th Oct.
In my past experience release dates mean nothing. There always seam to be a delay of some sort. I agree with the end of October being a more realistic time of this phone getting in my hand. I wanted it back on September 15th but good things come to those who wait I suppose.

I am in a similar position, using 9500 Commie with a semi broken keyboard
The release date will delay in Finland even further, or do you think that HTC has made enough phones this time to answer the demand?
I too am suspecting a delay .... there have been no reviews by any of the android sites which is normal a week or so before launch to gain interest for the phone and the blogging has been quiet as well.
Disappointed but not surprised, again it will be interesting to hear what the cause of this is. I am watching the prices of Desires on ebay as they are going down in price and am wondering whether the DHD is worth the differential!!
Hope
Hmm ive looked at quite a few different sites and no one elso seems to have changed their dates. So i hoping it is just a problem on expansys part and then everyone else will get their HD's in the first week or 2 of next month!
I can't see this phone being released by the end of next week. There are no solid reviews out. Normally release models have been sent out for review. As long as it's out for November 16th my upgrade date I'll be happy.

Hopefully they've just sold out of their first batch, and the dates on the site reflect the expected arrival of the second batch...?
Hopefully sub69
I called Vodafone tonight, they still have no release date for the Desire HD, but their Desire Z release date is November 1st. Somehow the guy managed to talk me into buying a Galaxy S.

Solid reviews? Have there been any yet. Normally Engadget are pretty hot with reviews and I'm keeping my ear close to the ground for any rumblings of hands on other than the leaks.
same here suffer with the nokia n85...
clove as same stock sipping date: "First stock due 6th October", i hope that it will stay the same.
My amazon.co.uk account says:
Dispatch Estimate: 11 Oct 2010
Delivery Estimate: 13 Oct 2010 - 14 Oct 2010 (to germany )
Clove still says 6th october for first stock - hopefully that will arrive on time and I'll get one of them
All Swedish online retailers I've checked have October 14th-16th as the release date, and that's how it's been ever since the DHD first appeared on those sites. It's never had an earlier date than that in Sweden.
My order at Expansys still has the 11th/12th October delivery date. Let's hope it stays that way
guyz..it's at least 2 years that release date of brand new hi-end htc devices it's the first week of november...
Just for giggles...while we're patiently awaiting for our shiny new devices. "Summer" was the word from Sammy regarding release for 8.9 Galaxy Tab. Throw out your guess, and we'll see who hits closest come release time! Hell, I'll even buy ya a beer / coffee / slurpee / milk!
I say July 13th
(and please refrain from "omfg! this is the 10.1 forums!!" They will most likely share one forum, you troll wannabe!)
Definitely after June.
Sent from my CM7-powered T-Mobile G2
Since Samsung said June 8th for the 10.1, I would imagine that the 8.9 won't be that far off. I am guessing July 8th.
(Interesting bits regarding pricing and availability start at 28:10)

Don't forget about YouTube's somewhat new feature that allows you to link people to a specific time in the video, saves some time.

I think the Captivate was released on the 17th of July last year. Just a guess, but I think the 22nd would be a good guess, weekend for displays and such, but then again the captivate was release on a Saturday. LOL

The only thing of meaning in that article was the quote from a Samsung exec saying the SGS2 will be released in the U.S. in August. On what carrier is still a mystery.
I heard many release dates for the T Mobile Note 2. I heard Oct 24th, Oct 25th, Early Nov, Mid Nov. I hope it doesn't get delayed till Nov.

Internal memo to T-Mobile Stores say Oct 24th.
Samsung announcement on Oct 24th (will they release same day as they announce? I dunno)
Sprint announce release on Oct 25th
AT&T rumor release in November
T-Mobile image of Note II on website has the date Nov 15th on it (I would disregard this one).
Pick your poison. Although a commenter on Tmonews.com said that he works for T-Mobile and that he already got training on the Note II via a Samsung representative.

It's nothing, look at the Galaxy Note 2 product pages, and the screen says on the mock up of the device: Nov 15. That's the least robust rumor out there .
But this thread should be merged with the availability thread for T-Mobile... In case you didn't see it, demo devices are being shipped out to stores:
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/10/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-demo-devices-on-their-way-to-retail-stores/
And i confirmed this with my own local store and the rep also told me that she was waiting for the phone and that it should be out within 2 weeks (November 2nd the latest, but I have a feeling it should be out by next week... at least that's what i tell myself... pick the closest rumored release day and just hop to the next closest rumored release date so I can tell myself that I can do it and that it's going to come out in the next couple of days each time I'm proven wrong)

We figure that's for the WP8 devices since Microsoft is hosting their own Windows Phone 8 release party that day.
