http://www.androidguys.com/2011/05/02/att-samsung-announcing-nexus-5th/
a couple of android sites are reporting that they've been invited a press event where they'll have a "special announcement" i'm hoping it's about the SGS2 but more likely it'll be either the Infuse or the AT&T Nexus S. but you know... hope springs eternal.
The best buy ad here has the infuse coming May 2011 but nothing about Galaxy S 2

Oh god I hope this is it. Please be it. We already know about the Infuse...it wouldn't be a "special announcement". It has to be the SGS2!

that's what i'm hoping. press events are usually reserved for hotly anticipated flagship devices.
not counting the kyocera echo of course
OP, the majority of people in that old thread "In USA: Where to Pre-Order" think this is the Samsung Infuse and not the Samsung Attain yet, in my opinion the AT&T's version of SGS2, because of the first 3 letters. There is no way VZW, Sprint or TMOB are taking that name. Well TMOB could.
thanks

So is that it? They're gonna call it the Attain here in the US? And those other names that popped up with it, you think those will be for the other carriers? Do you think they will be any different from one another? But yea I see what you mean, how the first three letters of Attain are ATT.
Lol, anyways, people were also saying it's probably Nexus S for AT&T, but no, who gives a **** about that, we don't care about that one either. Get out, this is SGS2 and we are finally going to get it!

I guess you're pointing out the fact that the laptop has a picture of the T-Mobile website with the SGS2 on it?
yep. i know it's a mock up... but what would be the point of teasing it like that. maybe it's like a little easter egg. adobe is good for sprinkling them in their products.

I just hope that doesn't mean T-Mobile is gonna get it before us AT&T users. Although, I don't care as much if it means were getting closer to getting it.
But no, they won't get it first, because they're announcing it for us on May 5th!
THATS THE SPIRIT!!!
but honestly, i've been off contract for so long i'm willing to go to whoever gets it first

It's been mentioned in another thread that ad is for T-Mobile UK.
I want the S2 as much as anyone else, but this may not be the clue you want.

Would make sense....T-Mobile's page never looked like that
That other thread also pointed out that next to it is a MT4G, which someone claimed TMO UK doesn't have.
My wife will kill me when TMOUS gets the sgs2, because I cannot avoid getting it. It's a compulsion.
I say...
they announce the Infuse release date and throw up some other flagship in there as well.
I hope it's the Samsung Infuse with Dual Core.
But seriously, it's probably just the Infuse we saw back in CES that they're going to announce.

Hi guys, I posted this in the SGS2 thread as well:
I'm not sure if anyone has posted or noticed this: http://galaxys2.bell.ca/en/
It's finally coming to Canada. (Probably July 14th)...looks like the international version to me!
Their homepage currently does not link to the SGS2 page.
Yay!!! Awesome. But the draw is on 19 July are u sure they are releasing on 14?
If its under 600$, I am so getting one. However I don't wanna give more cuz its stupid to spend that much money for a phone.
Damn~I asked a stuff of BELL about this GS2 last month~he just told me BELL won't bring it in~now it seems a bull****~

5.1. Prizes: There are a total of ten (10) Samsung Galaxy SII 4G smartphones available to be won. Approx retail value $599.95 Cdn each.
So if I won it I don't have to steal, um I mean, buy it.

I have the same problem man. I am thinking how to not make her angry and get the phone. I mentioned it before and said I am gonna give my sgs to u and buy the sgs2 for myself but she doesnt care and doesnt want to have a smart phone. However, I got the phone last year.
I really hope I win or we r gonna have some serious argument.

I must say i did not know that my version was light years thinner and lighter then all the us models untill i played with all 3 models anyways my question is what would you have picked? the real Uk Gs2 or branded GS2 now my uk version gets 4g but on Att only but im on tmobile and i keep my clear wireless on me at all times so im never on edge but witch model do you guys like? The exnoys Cpu is a beast and faster then the S3 i hear but again was my choice a good one i love how thin this device is and the fact its not tied to any network so the Ics update should come with no problems and theres tons of roms and development for the uk gs2

well also here in ontario i purchased a new device rather then those of "kijiji" or "ebay" b/c of some people bs'in about things and products and with tax of 13% i paid about $700 but with that i got a leather case + a protector and also from a wireless store and got their warranty + 1 more year on top total of 2 yrs. so yeah i looked @ my benefits but now whether it'd be galaxy galatica or note or sgs3 come out im 150% on my device + no contract either .. so till death this device is with me and i know yeah LTE and all this bullcrap but i don't need that sh** nor am i tempted to get htc raider or sgs 2 lte or w/e is out b/c all of them have same specs xcept maybe "screen" which is useless you might as well carry a tablet or a laptop ..and nfc which is no biggie b/c unless ur a doosh and lazy to carry a wallet then u might as well grow up and start carrying a wallet..lol no offence anyone plz don't start a bashing contest cause ill laugh and thats just that and as far as speed you can overclock sgs2 to 1.4 or 1.6 anyways with dual processor. now lets be nice and enjoy what we have and how we have it and so on..

LOL! I know what you mean! I never really liked the form factor of any of the nexus series phones. But thats just me. I do however really LOOOOVE the design of the Galaxy S series ( captivate, infuse, sgs2 and Note) I already played with the Samsung media player at Best Buy which is exactly the same form factor as the Note with the exception of the pen, and immediately thought to myself, this can definitely work for me.
Im hoping the note is 199 on upgrade, and not 250 though!
Perfect, just in time for my upgrade.
Eh, I'll wait for something else or the SGSIII.

I wish I could express how sad this thread makes me, if I remember this is supposed to be a site for development. If there's anything to discuss here it's that you might see 300-400 megs of RAM more than your current and LTE will chew through that measly battery. If you always pre-order the latest greatest you'll be a man with very little money and not much to show for it. 200 dollars for an LTE radio which will destroy battery life and a few hundred megs of RAM. As one guy said the Note would at least be a different phone and probably a better investment, either that or keep your current GS3 and get an LTE capable tab. Every single experience I've had with LTE on my phone leads to general dissatisfaction due to it dying half way through the day. Anyway pointless thread, stop blowing money on pointless stuff enjoy what you have.

That's BS
Why would he want to choose the Note 2? If I could choose again I would stick with the S3. Your preference is not everyone else's.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using XDA Premium
I've a year or so left on my contract anyway and my current provider "3" doesn't offer an LTE service at the moment anyway, so I'll just wait and see how the LTE market matures here in the UK.
At the moment I have unlimited data including tethering and that suits me just fine.. "3" are just rolling out the latest version of HSPA+ with support for theoretical speeds of 42Mbps so Im hoping that will give me most of a good balance of speed and battery life.

I wish I could express how sad this thread makes me, if I remember this is supposed to be a site for development.

Please, step down from that high horse of yours. The general section is for stuff that isn't really development related, and if this discussion cannot be held here, it would have been locked by now. You want development related activities, relocate yourself to the development forums on this very site.
Just because you have had a bad experience with LTE devices, doesn't mean OP will. Yes, it consumes more battery and RAM than a non-LTE capable phone, but there are people who don't mind. Personally, I won't buy an LTE phone, because 3G suits me more than enough, but that's me.
If this thread makes you sad, why did you feel the need to drop a useless comment showing it? You would have saved approximately 10-20 seconds (give or take) by not posting that comment.

not really useless considering the fact, despite I don't really like the idea of this thread I still answered OPs question. Xda-Developers isn't about developing anymore?(I need to section myself off to a specific "development thread" instead of discussing general things about the phone) there will always be something better than what you have making a thread to point out you're not satisfied is fairly pointless. Arguing with someone who tells me to get off my high horse is another. General forum is general discussion about the gt-i9300 Samsung Galaxy S III not about what you're going to buy next week or what else is better. enjoy your damn device.
P.S. If you want to have a circle jerk about new devices and pushing people off their "high horses" reddit is always an option. :fingers-crossed:

You didn't have to reply at all.

Really, now? Then why do we have development sections?

If you ask me, the OP didn't seem unsatisfied.

You had it coming. You act like what you say was important, when it was unnecessary.

Well, he did talk about the S3, just not the specific "i9300". No forums exist yet for the i9305 LTE-specific version, so this'll have to do until such forum exists.

I never did like Reddit to begin with.

Development is strict development only, but just because it says general doesn't give anyone the right to flood it with topics that don't even have a relation to your device. Saying you don't like Samsung because they made a different variant of the phone or perhaps "better" is silly anyway.
If you ask me, the OP didn't seem unsatisfied.
"F U Samsung" seems pretty satisfied mate.
You had it coming. You act like what you say was important, when it was unnecessary.
You act like you had to reply to me in the first place, the only reason to respond to me was to start an argument, which is fine. but let's continue this in PM and stop flooding the thread.
Well, he did talk about the S3, just not the specific "i9300". No forums exist yet for the i9305 LTE-specific version, so this'll have to do until such forum exists.
Then make a general thread about the device, don't whine about how you wish you could exchange yours for another.

"damn" is used as a superlative, not literally damning it.

I don't mean to seem like the bad guy here, but the constant flood of threads about "I don't have enough RAM, I exchanged my phone for X device, the camera sucks" just gets old. If you wish to continue this I'm more than happy to in PM.

Yes there is a fair few but most of them are not against the rules and therefore you have no right telling someone what they can and can't post, that's up to the mods.
If you don't like those posts then don't post on them because they will eventually go a few pages in front, you posting in them is just bumping them back to the top.

That's BS
Why would he want to choose the Note 2? If I could choose again I would stick with the S3. Your preference is not everyone else's.

Well said thank you... The S3 is the best phone around and with that extra edge it will make it perfect for me. And a little more future proof. And My network doesnt provide LTE at this moment but are looking to in future so it wil be good to have the option atleast and extra 1GB
