Does anyone have any reliable info on when and where this phone will be available? I keep hearing things suggesting next month, but I'm curious why t-mo would release the vibrant 4g a few weeks ahead of the galaxy II.

I don't think there's any news for that phone to come to US yet. It will be released in Europe and all over the world except US. I'm hoping too to come but there's no news about that yet
1st week of March in Europe, supposedly, 2weeks after Europe...BUT... The comment was "scheduled to be released 2 weeks thereafter in the USA" in real English that means..... the 3rd week of March to 3rd week in December
T-Mobile tweeted they would be carrying the device. Don't have the link but its on phandroid and androidcentral.

yea they already released that it was a mistake. somebody confused the vibrant 4g and the galaxy II confused. How anybody could get those the depressing vibrant 4g confused with the beast that is the galaxy II, the world may never know
If this plays out like it did last year, Europe/ rest of world will most likely see it in March (like posted above) and U.S. will have their sub-models out in the summer.

....where the **** is the US streak at?
I really would like to get my hands on this device. I know that with samsung releasing their Galaxy series this week going to be next week before the Streak announcment can be made. The only thing I can possibly thing of is they want to get the streak on 2.2 before releasing it in US? What do you guys think?
I dont think they will have 2.2 for the US release...i heard rumours that it would be sept/oct for 2.2
Question for you, do you know if any handsets are still being being sold with 1.6 in the US?
everything that ive read all headsets are being released with 1.6
If they release this week, it will be on Wednesday the 14th, or 19th so the rumor mill says.
Your in Texas, go to Dells Office and demand one.
My version is end of July
Ha I know right....
Although I am not the least bit interested in the Galaxy S, what an awesome promo site
Unlike Dell with a crappy blog starting to fill with complaints in the comments dell.com/streak

It's in Austin which is about four hours away, I wish I could go demand one.
Chatted online with an optus business rep today to ask how much the new samsung tablet will be (about the same as a Galaxy, expect a $49 plan for it), also asked if & when froyo for the galaxy is coming on optus. He said OTA update will be in first week in september!
Sorry if this is old news. I can post a copy of the conversation if anyone wants it, I printscreened it but forgot to paste & lost it..
Anyway, good news!

I think this might be slightly outdated. Initial rumors pointed that Galaxy S would be getting Froyo in Korea before the end of August with it rolling out internationally in September. The rumor was so strong that the news media weere saying that the local carrier was aiming to give unlimited data and encourage tethering after an August Froyo release.
There are only 3 business days remaining in Korea, so that rumor seems to be coming and going without being fulfilled. Also, the rumor mill here hasn't been hot, which I expected it would be by now if we were indeed getting this in August.

My post referred only to Optus users in Australia.
Hope this is true, I can't wait for an official release of Froyo.
Thanks for the heads up
This is kind of specifically targeted at anyone who might have some information on the release of the SGS II on Sprint, but I'd also love to hear some speculation from otherwise uninformed individuals.
Reason being that I am seriously considering a Nexus on Sprint when it drops in a week... which has the obvious issue that it's being released a whole year after the first SGS and after the international SGS II. It just seems like a bad decision. The only other alternative is the EVO 3D which I'm really not interested in because of the size, gimmicky 3d, and I really think the performance of the SGS II is going to rock the socks off the Evo 3D (unconfirmed).
So what do you guys think, soon after the evo 3d? If it launches in July or something I'd be very pissed that I picked up the evo 3d in that case...
Nexus S is a keyboardless Epic, SGS II is about the same size as the Evo 3D, the 3D can be turned off, no news about SGS II release date for Sprint.

One might extrapolate from the history of the SGS I line in 2010: IIRC, the original GSM-based reference model was announced by Samsung about this time of year and then released in early summer in Europe. The U.S. variants were announced in late spring or early summer, and the first actual releases (the GSM-based Vibrant on T-Mobile and Captivate on AT&T) occurred in July. Sprint had the first CDMA variant (also adding a Wimax 4G radio and keybord) around Sept. 1. It took about six more months to get the U.S. models mostly debugged and upgraded to a current version of Android (Froyo).
Yea, if I had to guess its gonna be late summer/early fall before there is a SGSII on Sprint.

What he said. The SGS II has a 4.3" screen, same size as the Evo. So it might be the same size, more than likely, itll be a bit bigger.
I can't wait. My epic will be retired.

Has anyone heard of rumors of AT&T getting it anytime soon...

There's actually rumors that sgs2 will never be released in US.
Thr only rumors I heard were several months ago that it'd be released in March. Then beginning of June... then it went completely silent.
I just went and bought an unlocked, pure Samsung SGS2 for $675 shipped (free nextday delivery from Hong Kong). Couldn't be happier right now =)
I suggest if you have the budget for it, don't wait for a gimped ATT version and get the real thing.

There are quite a few threads running where the source of that info has been discredited. There have been pics of the Sprint version in the wild and the 2.3.4 leak has AT&T's LTE APNs and PNGs of their LTE logo it in it. So it's definitely coming to the U.S., the question is when?
It is supposed to launch Q3, so July, August, or September probably. I would say end of August or September, but that's my guess.
If it is launching with LTE as was suggested on this board, then it will be released sometime when att officially announces its LTE network in 5 cities at the end of this summer.
I think Sprint will be the first to get it as we have leaked pictures of the Sprint version already.
Haha ubfortunately my pockets arent that steep if not i woild.had already bought it...

If the sgs2 was released in the u.s. With the current phone offerings it would destroy other oem's. To include apple. I bet that's why they dumbed it down and released the infuse.
it's launch in PUerto Rico USA Territory in Claro PR about a month ago
Sigh we may never get it soon or it will suddenly appear.
Is there a conspiracy afoot.
Nexus Prime sounds good if they make it lol

Android Community is reporting that Samsung has said that the phone will be in the US in August. Of course no dates or what carriers.

Well it's not VZW since their version hasn't been through the FCC. So it's either Sprint because their's was spotted or AT&T's because LTE code for it is in 2.3.4. Based on volume, especially corporate accounts, AT&T would be Samsung's more important customer. But if AT&T's trying to tie it to the launch of their LTE network that could be later than August. Anyone want to start a pool?

does this mean it will be RELEASED that day, or the release date will be announced that day?
Since they are not announcing it till the evening I would think the earliest it would be on sale would be the next day. They may just say the dates it will be available with each carrier.
I highly doubt (unfortunately) that it will be released the day of or after. Think the GS3, the announcement was quite a ways, if memory serves, more than a month prior to the release on my carrier, Verizon. I think we may be waiting quite a while after the announcement. Here's hoping I am wrong.
October 24th? I was hoping it would be released by that time :/
my upgrade is up on monday. so do i cave in and get a GS3 (my current phone is 3 years old and barely usable), or wait it out for the note 2?
I know they want to make this a huge deal, but I'm thinking just giving us the dates would be way more hype than a party could create.

If I remember correctly TMO got the GS3 about a week before everybody else got it, so it could mean a possible Halloween release for the Note 2 on TMO based on a Nov 11th date. Would be nice since they released, then canceled the original note all the sudden. Seems like that would be a nice way for TMO to make-up for the mistake of a release of the Note1. Would make for a nice treat, but of course this is just speculation.
dang just release the thing already

Why is it apple that only releases right when its announced? Why do I have to wait months? I hope Verizon isn't the last to get it. Guess Apple patented fast launch

Apple just doesn't tell you anything until its time to release, haha.
It works for them though because nothing else uses iOS so you won't buy another device because there were no details about the next phone. I'm already eligible for my upgrade. Had Note 2 details not have leaked I'd have the GS3 by now. Besides if Samsung launched within two weeks of an announcement I'm sure apple would sue for stealing the idea.
Hopefully they'll give some dates when they launch it on the 24th. Should be sooner, but at least now we have a date.
Better if the dates leak earlier. Also if it is our phone and not a new tablet announcement.
US Cellular states that they will have it ship out at the end of Oct, for pre-orders.
