No mention of Tmobile

http://store.wirexgroup.com/default.aspx?page=item+detail&itemcode=SILGALAXYS2BK
For the "Samsung Galaxy S 2 Attain(at&t), Function(Verizon), and Within(Sprint)", but nothing about T-Mobile.
I suppose 1this could be 1 of many things, either T-mobile just hasn't come up with a name yet, that case is for some reason not allowed to mention the T-mobile version, the t-mobile version will be physically different, T-mobile isn't actually getting one, etc...
I wouldn't personally assume the last one, but it still makes it seem like anyone with T-mobile will be waiting the longest. It also goes to show we will probably not be getting one phone to rule them all and have to deal with different versions, then again maybe they will just each be individually branded but development can still span each one but I am not holding my breath.
I dunno, just didn't see this posted and was yelling "Noooooo!" at my laptop so I figured I would risk being an ass hat by posting this.

It's okay, I was thinking the same thing when I didn't see a post. Anyway, I think this and the postponement of the May 24th event in NYC was the last straw for me. It probably means that it'll be at least a month before any carrier gets the SGSII and I just can't wait that long. I'm probably going to get the Sensation and just find alternative apps to cover the crappy codec support if it actually has decent audio hardware.

it could just mean 3 to 6 more month before we get the Tmobile version
just like the Nexus S
Sprint took like 6 month after, before they got theirs, which was just released by the way

I'm on T-Mobile too, and I sure hope they release within the next month or so... I've been waiting since the MWC show and thought it would be sooner, but since this will be my first smart phone, so I guess patience is the word of the day.

Or maybe in anticipation of the merger, t-mobile just decided to let at&t release it

No chance. That thing isn't happening for at least another year or so and hopefully, it might not even happen at all.

Maybe no S2 for now but TMO is releasing the Samsung "Hawk" on June 8.

I dont know if I want to wait that long.... Its an amazing phone but they are less amazing 4 months after original launch as better phones start coming out...
I might have to lend toward the nexus 3 if its around then

I'm waiting until the Sensation launches and if there's no solid launch date by then, that's it. My contract was over in February, I don't know why I still haven't jumped at getting a new phone yet and we're already in May.

by that time samsung will announce a new version of the phone. And then this same process starts again...!

If T-Mobile is delaying the release of the SGS2, they might as well skip it and be the first to release the SGS3.

Hopefully it just means the tmo version is slightly different and would require a different gel case. Samsung sold a **** tons of Vibrants so I hardly think tmo would skip out on this one. Does anyone know which carrier sold more sgs's? I tried searching for numbers but just keep coming up with overall sgs sales.

No mention of a T-Mobile SGSII here. Does this mean that its really not happening? =(

Hercules anyone? 4.5 screen is sick, I'm kinda jealous.

maybe thats the alternative to the SGS2 for T-Mob.

Yeah but its coming out in September, much later than when the other SGSII variants are supposed to arrive on other carriers. I wish they just left it alone like what they did in the design of the Vibrant and released it during the summer.

They are gonna get it I read somewhere were this Guy was told by a Samsung Rep that they are getting it he also said that vibrant had best sales so there is no question that there getting it cuz there trying to make money duhh

I hope you're right. All these recent stories about the SGSII not showing hints of a T-Mobile variant are really starting to make me wonder if all the waiting I did was for nothing.

HTC One delay will not effect retail availability dates in the U.S.

http://htcsource.com/2013/03/htc-one-delay-will-not-effect-retail-availability-dates-in-the-u-s/
Looks like Sprint, T-Mo and AT&T will still be launching the HTC One in the U.S. before the end of March.

That's fantastic news, 'cause I'm getting mega antsy. Another months wait would have been embarrassingly unbearable.

Thanks for that update. Here's hoping that it's actually the 15th for the US as well.

This is good news. Was just a hair away from a Note 2 as I didn't want to wait another month or so.

yea heres hoping to thtat but if no information has been given then i doubt its gonna be released of friday, but maybes its not that big in the U.S? eh?

mine is due this friday from tmobile uk as a upgrade

I can see this being the same for Canada as we operate on the same US AT&T LTE bands for Rogers, Telus and Bell/Virgin. So phones destined for Canada may not be delayed either .

No, I agree. There will probably be a lot more buzz and advertising right before it is launched, so unfortunately I highly doubt we'll see anything this Friday.

I went ahead and ordered the Note 2 :laugh:
I will get 14 days to return it if the One shows up by the 28th or the 29th of March but I highly doubt it.
The US timeline may not be affected by the delays could be because it wasn't going to be released until April.
I am keeping my finger crossed that I will end up with it by the end of March

Don't think they will release it this friday.. im hoping to see some sort of pre-order page going live this week tho

If they're going to be releasing it the 29th now (or even the 22nd), pre-orders should be up to go soon.

I could always do that as well
, but isn't it a hassle to switch out? I mean you get everything all setup on one device and then have to take it back and switch out and deal with the rep headaches and what not....unless you do everything online. Still a pain.
I will give it a little more time. Hopefully hear something by the end of this week.
I know I will enjoy the Note anyway as I have an s3 right now and love it, just love new phones, lol!

They have to release before the end of march actually. If not, htc's 100 dollar trade in cash back will be useless.

Since the HTC One upgrade promo technically ended yesterday (it's still listed on HTC's site), I'm sure we'll see U.S. service providers start announcing release dates and pricing any time now. The Samsung Galaxy S IV will be unveiled tomorrow, so it'll probably be Friday or next Monday before we get details.

That is hilarious, I switch a phone about every other month sometimes every month. The rep got used seeing me in the store. It is not much of a hassle for me. My wife gave up on saying no to switching phone cause I am addicted.
I hope to see the One preorders by the end of this week but I doubt it

Depends on the carrier.. if you're on CDMA it could be a pain switching devices.. but with GSM phones its pretty much just swiping sim cards..
But the user above hopes that HTC releases the HTC One in the next two weeks being that he have a 14 day return to exchange to another phone..
i would of had never done that, Maybe in the past when most carriers had a 30 day return period.. now most have a 14 day return..
Most likely the device will be out within a week or two after release.. because new customers have to start a new line the day they pre-order it.. if they was in the store.. (at least thats what Sprint did to me the time i pre-order my EVO 4G) maybe things have change and you can pre-order it and sign up the day it comes out..

I wish I could believe this... But I can't until there are solid release dates.

So looks like it's finally official. HTC One coming to Verizon later this summer.

Who is going to make the jump?
I have been on the Incredible for just over 3 years now and ready to make the jump. It has been a great ride but this seems like the perfect time and phone to make the switch.
Anyone else?

I should be getting One (see what I did there?). Hopefully they don't disable HTCdev, which is doubtful they won't based on past devices. That, or S-OFF tricks will still work. And hopefully they'll get a Google edition.
But there's still time for the next Nexus to be announced. So I'll end up getting one of the two.

This is what I have been waiting on... a friend is supposedly going to hand me (yep.. free) his GS3.. which of course I'll root and put AOSP on... then I will purchase the One (off contract of course.. they are going to pry that unlimited data from my cold dead hands) once I see that the Verizon version has been rooted.. unlocked.. and has some good roms going on.
At which point I'll pass the GS3 onto someone who needs it (who has already claimed it.. before I even have it!)

Yea I hope this new version for Verizon gets rooted soon but that still not going to have me hold out at launch. BTW I am in the same boat as you, buying off contract so I can keep unlimited data.
Do you know where I will be able to purchase (when the time comes) the phone from? Just use Amazon or Best Buy? They will sell the phone on it's own right?

You should be able to buy it from anyone outright. Though you won't really get a deal from anyone that way.. so may as well do it from Verizon directly.

HTC One shipping August 22nd. FINALLY.
Going to wait like a week make sure others can unlock and get it rooted and will probably be making the switch.

This sort of thing really puts me off getting this phone I certainly don't want to buy a phone for it to be out of date in 1 month.

It's put me off buying the current G3 too. I've read every review and 'hands on' preview going and I was even willing to look past only getting the 2GB version, but knowing there might be an upgraded version in the (very) near future will make me stay away from the current G3 until there is definite clarification

Well that's the million dollar question. That article says it's expected in July, which isn't that far away really, so if nothing else surfaces about it by the end of July you could probably safely assume that it was either just a rumour OR it's a new flagship that LG has planned for later in the year/next year/whenever

Haha, they should!.. But they won't I'd be amazed if an upgraded G3 with 805 actually happened, especially this side of the Pacific but we shall see. It states released in July but in regions outside of Korea the device isn't even being released until July in the first place, so it only really makes sense if it's being limited to a specific audience. It's a massive douche move though, to release a "flagship" and then release an upgraded model in the same year... or potentially same month!

Strong rumours of the S5 Prime and M8 Prime were stated just days after the release of those devices, now several months later there is still no official sign of the devices with a vague link to Android Silver (also a rumour!) in February.
If there is going to be a new g3 I would suggest it won't be out for quite some time.

Unfortunately it doesn't help potential buyers who don't want their phones to be obsolete pretty much right after buying it.
I cannot wait to get rid of my iPhone 5S so will get the G3 anyway.

Am actually laughing at the hue n cry here. Dudes, there will always be updates to electronic gadgets and particularly with smartphones in recent years.
All the issues & complaints by early buyers would be rectified in the 2nd set of production. How many cases of such we have seen in recent past. [Nexus 5 speaker grill modification being the latest ].
So no point in fuming at these developments. How much ever you might have been attracted by a device, its always better to wait for a considerable period before procuring one. There has to be always somebody to get it first right. so be it.
Chill dudes.

Iphone 6 is likely to be September/October time.
If you keep waiting there is always going to be a "next device", something is released roughly every 3 months these days, so there comes a point where you just have to accept it and pick a device.
I try, if I can help it to get a device as close to its release date as possible in order to minimise this, but there is no point worrying that it may or may not be replaced with something better in 3-6 months time.

Yep. Point taken. 1 month is really a tight slap on early buyers choice. But based on rumours going around, that handset with 805 might get launched only in Korean market.
Nevertheless, ppl can still import it from Korea. That would impact the price factor..hmm..not sure abt it.

I called and talked to a rep last week. He had no information either. I've been (im)patiently waiting since the day Google announced the phone. I was only a couple of days away from being able to upgrade, and had my mind set on a Note 4. I've been getting more frustrated every day, as one of my co-workers went and looked at the N6 at the freaking US Cellular store. US Cellular! They have it before Verizon... I'm concerned that Verizon is taking all of this time to lock the phone as tight as the Note 4, which is still un-rooted on VZW. I live in a small rural area where our ONLY coverage is VZW and USC.

Thank Samsung for that. I don't know why anyone thought differently given the Note 3 bounty is *still* outstanding. And with Android L's change wrt kernel and root...odds are it will never be rooted.
Vote with your wallet people. Don't give Samsung a dime for their Knox crapware.

Oh, I agree somewhat. Knox blows. Samsung Touchwiz is my least favorite. BUT, the Note 4 is rooted already for the other carriers in the USA, but even (last I checked) over $11000 worth of bounty for root access on the VZW version hasn't had any success. If that was because of Samsung, the Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T versions wouldn't already have root access. The Note 4 hardware is amazing, we just need the ability to put different software on it. I hate Verizon... I may switch to US Cellular someday. They historically haven't had flagship phones available until the last year or two. But, there still isn't much in the way of Dev support here for their phones. What good is a monster phone if we can't hack and crack a bit? LOL

Half the problem with dev support is the insistence that every USA carrier have a unique SKU and mutually incompatible firmware. Which leads to community dev fragmentation to the max. Which is squarely on the manufacturer to blame. Knox and the locked bootloaders are also on the manufacturer. With Samsung's mobile division bleeding oodles and gobs of money this year, maybe Samsung will mend their ways.
Samsung's problem is that they went from making 2-3 high quality handsets under one brand (Galaxy)....to making dozens of handsets each with 5+ different unique carrier/region-specific SKUs.

An announcement on the 31st on when Nexus 6? What that it can be pre ordered in March or something and maybe 1,000 available

There are two golden rules you should keep in mind when speaking to ANY type of VZW rep:
1 - they have absolutely no information on the phone, its release or anything else related to it - plain and simple.
2 - they have been instructed to try to keep you on VZW, so anything of a delaying comment that will keep you hanging on while the first rule is in effect works for them, not you.
The phone only has two SKU's - We're going to find that VZ will allow it on the network (because they have to) and they won't sell it.
I said it first, and time will bear it out. I hope I'm incorrect. the only thing that will indicate it is here on VZ is a press release or seeing it on the website by magic, period. Anything else is just pure speculation and wishing.

Well, heres to pure speculation and wishing...:highfive:
But forreal. You suck vzw.

It is extremely unlikely at this point that Verizon will carry this phone in stores. That has been the speculation from the very beginning. Big Red will allow it on its network, but will never sell the device.

I just talked to my inside business rep and she just found out that it is not being released until February. Pretty pissed!

Winter is coming...
Be ready cuz its coming... The Motorola Droid Turbo 6! It will be full of bloat and skinned in the most obnoxious Motorola overlay. I'm sure it will have all the same specs with maybe a faster processor. It will have 5 different Verizon logos plastered all over it. Of course the bootloader will be locked and we will never see root!... God I love Verizon!

I just had a meditation session with my spiritual king. He let it be known to me that Verizon will release the Nexus 6 in... and then the session ended. I'll try again tomorrow.

The number of people posting their opinions as fact in this thread is hilarious. Nobody knows anything, period.

Nexus 6 on Verizon
My Motorola bought Nexus 6 works great on Verizon, and with Moto Credit im paying just like you would if you used the "edge" program from VZW... Oh and i didnt have to give Verizon any cut of the sales which is just icing on the cake!

Why wait? Buy one from another carrier, swap Sims.

We probably wont see any Nexus 6 in stores at all. Nobody has the Nexus 6 locally on any carrier cause its sold out.(I've checked, XMas present.) If Verizon wanted the sales they would have already done it.

When i went into Verizon to get a nano sim for my N6 they didn't even know wtf it is. They're like oh that's not going to work on our network... I had to walk them through what to do to get my device working.
