Supposedly it's coming out in July for Verizon
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/08/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-said-to-be-verizon-bound-in-july/
*edit*
"Update: We just received word from a Verizon spokesperson that the reference to a July release was just a miscommunication and was actually in reference to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. "
Pass ... Not a fan of Samsung build quality
With a dual core 1.2 ghz processor it better have a good battery that comes with it stock. I am not changing phones to just get battery life that is worse then the thunderbolt.

For me, if it's not HTC, pass!
If it's LTE, I'll use my upgrade on it.
Wish it had lte then I would get
SII seems solid but the Droid 3 may be my Thunderbolt replacement.

The Droid Bionic supposedly is a 4.5 LTE monster...but blur and locked bootloader...no thanks
If its LTE yes.
I had the fascinate and I will not ever buy ANY samsung product. I even returned a samsung monitor I had back to costco.
I loved my Vibrant, I'd probably go back to Sammy if it was LTE.
It is surely tempting, to say the least.
yeah, had a fascinate. i think i'll pass on this. samsung phones feel cheap and they use too much plastic. just doesnt feel like an expensive device.

This. Worst phone I've ever owned, and I've had every android on VZW except for the Ally and Inc.
I'll wait until it launches, see what the developer scene looks like, before I make a decision. I won't be jumping on launch day, but I've been impressed with Samsung's recent actions, fast kernel source releases, donations of phones to developers, etc.
Nope pass

Fascinate was not that bad, minus Bing and the poor updates of course. Build quality is subjective.

Nope holding onto my Thunderbolt for a while... All i care is that tethering works and I'll wait for a nice quad-core tablet to come out and do all my heavy lifting on that.
I envision a world where Apple fights competition through their products and not in the court room. But, alas, today is not that day.

It'll get here, they'll probably just settle the case with an ass load of money. They both have a lot to spare.

Eh, doesnt matter to me i snatched up my sammmy before this crazyness lol!! I hope the judge gets a hands on opinion with new samsung devices and then he/she can tell for themselves how different they are. I don't hate apple but this lowballing technique really doesnt help their image. Maybe they should create a phone that can actually compete with new android devices like the Evo 3d, now thats competition! In America "Competition means good business."
Apple sucks.

At&t is supposed to be getting it. But it doesnt look like there is any s2 branded for tmobile, or at least that supports tmobile AWS bands. You can order one unlocked and put your tmboile sim in it, but it will only work for voice and 2g/edge data. Even with that limitation...ive been thinking of buying one anyways, or the single core at&t infuse 4g and just unlock it and put my sim in it and live with the 2G data. Dont think i have the balls to live with 2g tho.
On another note, im guessing Tmobile USA isnt getting it because of the Hercules thats supposed to be released in September which is supposed the be like the s2 on steroids. lol.
I need to buy something new. The fact there are much more powerful phones out there even though i love my gs4g...is killing me softly...lol
i switch phones very often, usually every 3-4 months... but since i bought my tbolt at best buy i have to hold onto it till at least january which will be a challenge for me.
i know verizon doesn't always carry the best top of the line phones but ill be looking at the next iphone or hopefully the galaxy s 2 early next year.
what might be your next phone after the tbolt?
I keep them until I get my next free phone. Paid $10 at best buy for my bolt.

I just got the dang thing! Just rooted it and installed DasBAMF stripped 1.8.6 and the OTA radios from 7/8. Not upgrading the hardware for a LOOOOONG time.
Oh, FWIW, I paid $99 with a new contract via Amazon Wireless. I was out of contract and month to month on TMobile, prior.

I paid 180 for mine with my new every two and extra discounts.
I am thinking about getting a iphone4 (cough cough) from ebay just to check out and see what all the hipe is.
no way i would downgrade from a tbolt to the "new" iphone. thats like going from a 1000cc crotch rocket to a pocket bike.
im pretty content with my tbolt. it does everything i need. the 3d would be pretty sweet on it though
i probably paid more because i went through best buy, although my wife's lg vortex was free so all in all im happy. i think the sg2 will be my next phone.
After the MR2 update that just rolled out, I'll be happy with the Thunderbolt for a while. I'll hold out till they release a Nexus phone for Verizon, then I'll switch in a heartbeat.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Probably the Bionic. According to engadget, it will have full HDMI mirroring. Assuming this is true, it will be my next phone. (when it has been rooted, no much launch day buys for me.) If it isn't true, then I will wait till something has an HDMI out with a 960x540 or> display. As far as hardware goes, the TB is more than enough for what I use a phone for. I rarely ever use it for gaming. So, I really only want a better screen and HDMI. That is, if I stay with VZW. If I don't it will probably be the next gen evo.

My SO/GF has an iPhone 4, and she is always on it. She's a techie, but not quite as UNIX-y as I am.
Personally, and having been an iPhone 3 and iPod Touch owner (and still am), I cannot see any advantage to an iPhone 4 from an unlocked 1GHz Android device. Battery, perhaps, and pocket portability with the small screen. I would suspect to hear of your disappointment after a thunderbolt.

i almost got the charge but it was $300 at best buy. the tbolt reminded me alot of my evo4g so i went with it.
Hey guys, I was one the first to buy this phone and It has been a long journey, I'm leaving VM and the triumph behind. The reason is T-Mobile is offering a $30 no contract deal. Plus it come with 5g of 4g speed, which VM will never offer, so I went on ebay and bought myself a Samsung Galaxy S II for $500, and am I the only one that is doing this because I believe this is a deal of a life time .

That's up there with Verizon. Verizon LTE goes a little faster but you generally won't use it useless you are getting something off of a server that can move that fast which is rare. Also, that's a lot faster than anything VM and their 3G will ever put out. lol

I can see there are a lot of folks here who has left VM... I just started I use this tread because it looks like some here are reading it. This is my first real Android, been many years on Windows Mob., and it has been a fun ride! But lately I used Android on my TP2, and I wanted to try a real one, and since I didn't like to have a contract I ended up with this...
I have a question about my main issues with this phone. It's the weak/slow 3g bad signal issues that many has confirmed. The other more important for me is the Bluetooth disconnecting issue, and many has others reportet this problem too.
So my question, does any of the build ROM's here solve this per now?
If not I know it will be, because in here is the best of the developers you can find!! Coming from the WM world it has been a lot of issues, but at the very end, I must say my TP2 became perfect after a lot of ROM testing..
Hope someone can give me some feedback asap.. Thanks!

Price?
Also, I never really notice the bad 3g speed - I haven't used better, and my home connection is just as bad(well, not as bad).
And the 3G loads videos at a nice enough speed.

as others said, trade, then sell the iphone for many moneys, buy an awesome newer 4g phone.
Iphone 4 would get OP enough money to buy a used Rezound or Gnex easy.
Ya iPhone 4 is definitely worth more (dollar value wise) than a tbolt, can easily buy u any 4g phone if u wanna stick with android. I agree with the two previous posters 100%

Well unless I get someone to bite on the iPhone 4, looks like I'll be trading for a 2 day old LG Revolution with 3000mAh battery plus $40 cash tomorrow.

Don't forget the Kickstand! It is one of my favorite features of the phone especially since it is native to the phone with out a case.
I can agree with the trade too for money purposes. I would not trade just to stick with it though - I agree with the one who said Itunes not good. Apple is too restricted for me at least. Can't say much on the revolution you mentioned as I don't know that phone all that well.
I owned an iPhone 4, its not a bad phone if its jailbroken. I don't have any regrets with selling my iPhone for a thunderbolt. In my opinion Android is by far the better operating system.

Comes down to what you want to use your phone for and what *you* prefer. The fact that some other member prefers Android doesn't mean it should influence you at all.
Now if you become one of those #teamiphone or #teamandroid or #teamblackberry guys it becomes a problem

Not a good move IMO, the iPhone 4 isn't worth much more than the TB, but it's older, has a tiny screen, is thicker, only 3g, and half as useful as any android device. (I am forced to have an iOS device (currently iPad, used to be iPhone 4s) and Blackberry at work, and have the TB as my personal device so I get/have to use everything).
BTW, those saying you can get $300 for a USED iPhone 4 (not 4s), must know some real suckers. For the most part they can be had for under $200... USED Thunderbolts go for about $130-150.
Also, if you plan on selling it and getting a new device, do it soon. Before VZ charges you $30 dollars to "upgrade" starting april 22nd... That would certainly eat into any "profits" you are looking for.
One last thing, I'm not sure how VZ handles going back to a 3g only CDMA device. It's possible they could make you switch plans, meaning you could lose unlimited data. Not sure about that, but probably something you would want to check out.
The iPhone 4 is worth way more. $300 + used. A 32g 4 will easily get you that money. I can buy thunderbolts for $125. Do the trade. Sell it if you want and buy something else or trade it for anything.
EBay will get you good money. My coworker sold a 32g iPhone for $325 last week
I went from the iPhone 4 to the TB, love it but loved my iPhone too...if would have had a larger screen like the TB and the widgets, I would have been all set and probably would still be an iOS freak, lol!
Use it around the house still on wifi for the apps that I cannot get on my TB. You'll enjoy it if you do trade.
Still searching for an iPhone. Have a guy that wants to trade me his Bionic plus an OtterBox. I've got the Trident extended case on my Bolt.
What do you guys think? Never used a Bionic before.
