No Galaxy S II in America?

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

Nexus is here....

I just saw it at the Verizon store.. they can't sell it till tomorrow.
I held it in my hand.. very weird with the curve.. will be great with the ladies..
Will go back in the morning and put it to the test next to my SR..
From what I can tell the only thing good about the phone is ICS..
*EDIT*... Okay.. went out eariler and saw this "wonder phone"... I brought my sr to compare..
People.. this Nexus is nothing.. feels cheap, and feels smaller then the SR.. I can't tell the difference in the screen except mine looks better.... ICS is the only selling point on this phone.. Could I feel a 'difference" well. stock to stock yes. But with different launchers.. etc.. I can't tell my phone from the Nexus..
If you want to pay $300 for a sub par phone with ICS by all means go ahead... I'm keeping the SR.

I just got the email...released today for sale (15th)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

It's on sale for $155 new lines.
I won't buy one.

I was really considering buying one of the gsm versions then I did some research and found out about the galaxy s2 hd lte which is pretty much the same phone but without ice cream sandwich, but I keep comparing and found the deal breaker, the galaxy nexus does not have micro sd slot which is a android first for me. Sounds like some apple maddness, plus I got a 64gb microsd so that just docent work for me. But hey to each his own

Verizon did a poor job at releasing that phone.
I thought the nexus was going to come out around November so I waited.
My Moto atrix screen was cracked and I couldn't wait any longer. I don't regret buying the Samsung skyrocket best phone I owned so far....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Im tempted due to ICS but in the end it isn't worth switching to Verizon and paying money for a phone that really isn't any better just for ICS .

I had Verizon and the service was subpar. AT&T works amazingly for me with speeds. After owning an iPhone I don't want another phone without an SD slot.
ICS will be available soon enough on our SR.

Engadget (first link that came up on google) says:
...this tablet / phone in-betweener is said to pack a dual-core 1.5GHz MSM8660 -- similar to the HSPA+ 42 and LTE-friendly Qualcomm chipsets found in the Skyrocket and T-Mobile's SGS II. Bear in mind, folks, that this is all still hearsay

Samsung Galaxy S Blaze?

So here we go, another Samsung/T-Mobile fail. Why do they always do this. They always bring out the same headset with just some minor changes.
Why not get the Galaxy Nexus already?
If T-Mobile didn't have such good customer service and cheap plans I would of cancelled a long time ago. We always seem to get the short end of the stick.
Guess what's gonna happen when this is released. Even less development, that's what. Grrrr.

Lol. Havent you guys ever noticed art and tmobile always get similar counterparts as far as phones go. Don't know why people complain and say they get more. We got amaze and they got rezound.

The most puzzling thing is that it has the same specs as the T-Mobile Galaxy SII, but is branded as a Galaxy S device.

I'm sorry but as valid as these responses get thus is ridiculous. Just return the phone and wait if it bothers you so much. This phone prob won't be out for another six months. By then when you buy it some "better" phone will be announced. What are you hoping to buy that is future proof?

Yeah, this one should come with ICS since there is no Nexus yet, but of course it won't.
Like previous post it has the same specs, but this one will probably have an HD screen on it. #lame
I doubt this will be out in six months, I'm guessing Feb/March.

It seems to me like this is a dumbed down version of the GSII. First of all they are calling it a "Galaxy S" instead of Galaxy S II, and the screen is called "Super Amoled", but not Super Amoled Plus or HD.

Samsung probably figured out how to fix our screen issues with the lines and blotches and decided that instead of admitting fault and having to fix all the sold phones with the issue they could just release a new model with no issues and a better res to make money instead of losing it... guess ill probably wait for the galaxy s3 hd blaze... n this whole galaxy fiasco is starting to remind me of the iphone adding a letter or number to the end without really even upgrading anything in the phone

Galaxy Note...Are you switching?

Just curious how many of us out there are going to move on to the galaxy note. I'm still in my 30 days with skyrocket and trying to make the decision to return it and go back to my old phone until the note comes out. I love the skyrocket but I switched to it for bigger display and LTE and the note accomplishes that even further. Soooo what do you all think?

If it has an S3, I'm staying far away from it.
The Adreno 220 is good, but terrible at higher res, look at the Rezound, it lags on anything.
The Note won't be any different...

The note didn't lag on me at all...and battery life was amazing ...I was on it for two hours straight
Its an amazing device....but I am waiting for the galaxy s3

Mr ed,
Were you on LTE when you tested it? How was the reception on LTE? I wonder if it is any thicker than the International version? I may sell my skyrocket and get the ATT version to go with my International GNote if the battery life and reception etc all review out well. I will wait a month or so after the launch to make sure I see all the reviews before moving forward.
Once you get used to the GNote, the skyrocket does not cut it for resolution and features.

Yeah after only two hours with it my skyrocket seems so wimpy

Ill be switching. Ive had something warm for the Note since its release but couldn't justify buying an unlocked unwarrentied phone (I party too much) My skyrocket has performed amazingly and it seems from the numbers the Note will too. I had an ATT sgs2 and then the skyrocket and I couldn't notice any difference in the processors. Ill have the ATT Note on launch day and Im sure Ill love it.

Hmm... according to red in another thread, AT&T is getting the GNexus.
I seriously hope that's true, so I'll wait a month or 2 (also gives the Note time to mature, and get some dev going, I don't like being an early adopter.)

Sorry if that came across that way...they are NOT getting it

Well then.... ****.
I can get the International GNexus, or AT&T GNote... this will be one tough choice.

I'd love to switch, but just got the combo Skyrocket + Galaxy Tab 8.9. I suppose I can't return just the Skyrocket now. The 30 day return window should be up by next week.
My only option should be selling the skyrocket on ebay. How much are they going for anyway?

Aww man the G Note, i am really wanting one but the screen size is giving me second thoughts. Maybe if i see one in person i would probably have a better decision. If not the G Note i may just hold out for the skyrocket HD with 4.65 screen it could be the perfect size for me.

Mmmm Note is very attractive but I'm going to wait the price get lower....can't wait
Enviado desde mi GT-S5570L usando Tapatalk

Any skyrocket devs going to the note? It would be nice to have some guys familiar with the hardware cooking for this monster. Im hoping that there just has to be some recompiling done to the skyrocket roms to accomadate the larger hd screen. I would guess the faux kernel would work since it says it works with pretty much all GB sammys. I almost which sammy sprung the release on us like they did with the skyrocket lol this wait is killing me

Good bye

So I officially jumped ship last night and got the skyrocket. Thank you all for keeping it real. This is a great forum and I'm sad to leave but alas there are more cores and faster downloads ahead and I must (as I'm sure many will follow) press on. Thanks again. Maybe I'll see some of y'all over there in time.

I don't know about calling them retards, as that's a touchy word. However, ignorant and misguided, yes.
This phone is truly the future. It has so many capabilities. The S Pen may be seen as gimicky by some people, but I feel that they are just jealous or uninformed that it is more than a stylus. The big beautiful screen may seem unnecessary to some, but I guarantee that if they actually used it for a while, they would see that there are endless benefits to it. Unless you wear girl jeans or some serious nuthuggers, the Note is definitely pocketable. And if you're wearing those types of jeans, you should also be carrying a purse, which makes pocketability a non-issue. Also, using a device one handed is nice, but is it really necessary? When is a time that you should REALLY be using your phone where you can't use two hands? If your hands are full, I'm sure you can either set the stuff down to answer a call, otherwise I'm sure that text or email can wait.
People complaining about the pentile display are just stupid. Yes, on lower resolution devices, it was annoying. I could clearly see the pixels on my Cappy, but I dealt with it because it really isn't that bad. However, on the Note, the resolution is so good that from a normal using distance, you really can't see the pixels. Anybody who thinks this statement is ridiculous, go play with the thing and see for yourself before bashing pentile.
Also, for those who are self-conscious about holding the Note up to their head for a call...really? People are more likely gawking at how awesome of a phone you have, and curious as to what it is, not judging you for using such a large device. And since when does what a stranger thinks about you matter so much to people? You're likely to never talk to them, and I'm sure if you did, the Note would be a great conversation starter, rather than a point for them to criticize you on.
