Samsung Galaxy S II to launch in U.S. in August

Samsung will launch its wildly successful Galaxy S II handset in the United States in next month, Yonhap News reported on Wednesday. “We expect to release the Galaxy S2 in the U.S. market sometime in August,” Shin Jong-kyun, Samsung’s president of mobile business and digital imaging recently told media. The original Galaxy S launched on each of the four major carriers in the United States, as well as on some of the smaller carriers, and we expect many of them to also carry the Galaxy S II. The device made its debut in other parts of the world earlier this year and has been flying off of store shelves. On July 4th, Samsung announced that it had sold 3 million units in 55 days and said the Galaxy S II was its fastest selling smartphone ever. There’s a lot to get excited about: we called the device the “greatest Android smartphone available on the planet” in our recent review.

    I paid
    $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being
    delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive
    retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it
    only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff,
    MetaCent .com

    What about for Virgin Mobile?  Does anyone know if it’s coming to that carrier in the U.S.?

  • Anonymous

    is the version of the phone sold in europe/online (eg expansys usa) compatible with att 3G?
    Lots of articles about the phone being quad band but they said the same about that shitty LG phone which turned out to be dualband 3g only (and of course none of the blogger f*kers reported about it)

    Until NFC is incorporated into more businesses, NFC is pointless.
