Where Samsung announced it I dont know, twitter? There isn't even an S2 page on the Samsung UK website that I can find.
But good to know that this phone isn't far away. Cant imagine other country release dates will be too far away.
This ties in with the email Clove sent a member, so preorders wont be sent till the 3rd, but should be available in stores over the May Day bank holiday period.

Edit: Engadget have also confirmed this, including the press release in the article. Much more useful.

The post also confirms HSDPA+ usage for the UK at "upto" 21mbps. First phone to offer this in the UK, surprised it isn't making the UK headlines more.

this has already been posted in other threads with a proper link to Engadget and with the source being Samsung UK themselves.

now how do i spend 20 days. times like these inspire me to build a time machine.

Well, I didnt think most people would look in a 30 page thread that was started by trolls. As you were posting I found the engadget link.
But most interesting is 21mbps internet. Will all carriers other than 3 revert back to existing plans of more than 500mb internet? Otherwise lets pray 3 get it on may 1st.

no problemo , a firm official UK release info deserves its own thread. I was just hinting that the info was HERE at xda , there was no need to go read other sites
Congrats UK fellows, you can relax now and just wait out your 20 days

This is the email i got from mobiles.co.uk
Hello Mr Miller,
Thank you for your email,
The handset is due for release the week commencing 25th April.
Should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

But if I order the S2 online from clove for example, how do I will know which screen it has, what's the processor speed or graphic chipset...?

You are referring to my post here.

Samsung UK
We’re really excited to announce that the Galaxy S II, our slimmest and lightest smartphone yet, will be available in shops from 1st May 2011.
From the official Samsung UK facebook page

How much will it be?
This is probably the best time to sell my galaxy S.

Best to set a budget of around £500.

Wonder is Carphone Warehouse will have it available in store on launch day? If they do I'll go instore and pick one up.

I believe they have stated that it will be available after the 3rd May, Samsung will Ship on the 1St, and the 2nd is a holiday.

Why would Samsing 'ship' on a Sunday?
If you ask me, they'll be shipping the week before, ready for the retail release on the Sunday, and, as with most bank holidays, there will be plenty of people out shopping.

okay now i'm off the floor from falling off my chair laughing.
HEY MR ADm1N, i PosT rANDoM crAP TO LOOK COoL, BaN EVERY1 WHo RITEZZZZ iN THIS TOPiCX.
On relation to the topic. Yeh the proximity of the release of the Sensation may cause price plans to be reavaluated, especially as they are phones being released around the time of an uprgrade for HTC Hero/Desire users. Think I may take a trip to town just to admire lustfully at the screen and to count down the hours till my contract ends.
As Sensation has been I think said to be priced similarly to the DHD, will the S2 be similar to the S1 when it was launched?

Has anyone been on the phone to the carriers yet specifically Orange? My contract is up at the moment and I am just on a rolling 30 day contract whilst waiting for this. When i phoned them up last week the guy didn't have a notion about the SGS2 so just wanted to check on here before phoning back again.

Ad that Verizon model is realesed on the 21st

Maybe this is wishful thinking and I know that this is probably just an error but just recently I saw a Verizon ad on here that said the phone is to be released for Verizon on the 21st. Has anyone else came across this? Also one thing to note is that when I clicked on the link it took me directly to the Verizon pre order page

That would be amazing! It would also get my fathers day gift closer to fathers day lol.....
Sent from my Axiom MAXX!!

That would be a very interesting leak if true. I wonder if it is just taking the date of when the phones are starting to release in the US and putting a random company preorder page link in each time. I however, have all ads blocked so I'd never see that banner.

They did say BY July 9/10... So there might be a chance? It's all wishful thinking at this point. Lol

We can dream... and that's about it.
But GOSH what a dream.

Well one of the early rumors said the 28th as release. So I guess it's possible. By this point though I'm just waiting for an email saying my order has shipped and hoping I'm not having to wait over a weekend to get it.

My friend pre ordered one from radio shack and they told him it releases on the 21St. They called him a while after he pre ordered that he could pick up on the 21st

Were did te Verizon thread go?

I have been searching for the Verizon "official" Thread for some time and I can't find it anywhere. A link would be great. And yes, I went through every post on here trying to find it. It appears it was erased, so any help would be great.
Thanks.

I noticed that also. I got a notification today that my SIII has shipped and included a FEDEX tracking number. Looks like it will be delivered tomorrow (Friday). I pre-ordered the first day Verizon made it available.

Well this is the International (non U.S carrier-specific) section. The AT&T, Verizon, etc. section is over here.

There was a full thread on the pre-order and discussion on the data rates, but that thread us completely gone. It was as if I blocked the thread on my end.
I got confirmation it was ordered and already on the truck to my house. I can't wait to get a hold of it.

You're in the wrong section, that's why. This is the i9300 section for the international version.

Closed, you want to be in the US/S4 SGS3 section here

S4 Release Date Speculation

Hi all,
Has anyone else noticed that in some of the snapshots of this phone, like the ones used to advertise the cases being released for it, the screen shows a date of April 22nd?
I also saw a case on Amazon that said it would be in stock April 20th.
Could there be any basis in the rumor that the GS4 is going to be released on April 20th/22nd/sometime during that week?

What is the point if realeased 20 21 or 26 april???
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app

Good looking out...and who has an upgrade in April? Oh yeah
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app

This guy has an upgrade in April, too!! I've never had a smartphone and I'm sick of being behind the curve, so I am buying whatever is the latest and greatest.
New car, new apartment, new phone, new start to life

One more month to go. I think S4 will reach Malaysia earliest by July. Still a long time to wait...

I really hope it comes out in April or in early May. I don't want to wait that long I wish Verizon would hurry up and announce the release date!

http://www.gsmarena.com/here_are_the_launch_dates_for_galaxy_s4_in_easter_europe-news-5793.php

I've had my upgrade since December. I'm tired of waiting for this sucker.

Does anyone know when models with greater than 16gb of built in storage will be available? I've noticed all the ones up for pre-order are 16gb here in the UK, I called Vodafone because their website wasn't working, and they said best they can do is let me know when they know. Does anyone else know?
Thanks.

Note edge for t mobile 10/17

I called t mobile's upgrade line to try to get info for preorder and he informed me that it is launching in stores along with the note 4 tomorrow. It contradicted what I recently heard about November 4th, so I asked him to double check. He then called over his manager and she confirmed that he read the screen right that it would be available 10/17.
They didn't have any pricing info and said preorders weren't happening.
If someone else with t mobile wants to call the upgrade line and see if u get the same story, that would be great... I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high yet, but it's hard!!!!

Well, if by any chance that is correct it would really be fantastic, but I doubt it. I hope it is though.
I just called my local T-mobile rep and he said they already got their shipment of Note 4's and there are no Edge's with them. He said he would have expected they would have been there too, but no go. He did mention that they get another shipment tomorrow morning before opening but he doubts they will arrive then, but we can still hope.

Yep I'm sure it will come soon since they started shipping the note 4 today.
I still believe that the note edge will be released in the beginning of Nov.
Either way they say fall 2014. And that would be from now to Dec 31 lol.....
