The Samsung Galaxy s2 is launching in March no word yet on when it will hit the U.S. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...sg=AFQjCNEBQpOUOPWZgFpODsIoq_87bs7eCA&cad=rja

Cant wait. My upgrade is march.just hope orange uk sell it straight away, and not delay like they have with past phones. Bring it on !!!!!

I don't think it will be March. That article is only basing it's assumptions on what the Clove website was stating, it now says Q2. Also, Expansys now has pushed it back to late June.

 

[NZtechfreak]

The Clove website may say Q2, but they are expecting it late in March (similar timeframe to what Play has). I know this because they emailed me about my pre-order to say its been brought forward (and costs more). I presume this is on the basis of some communication from Samsung/the distributor, since my dealings with Clove before have always been on the up and up. I'm sure it will be delayed, they always are, but that seems to be the current projection.

Agreed.... They have a good direct communication with Samsung UK and attend briefings including shows.

I'm pissed it has the 850 MHz 3G/4G band, but not 1700 MHz. There's no way I'm going to sign-up with AT&T.

Carphonwarehouse told me today that they will have the phone at the end of March!!! YES!

 

[NZtechfreak]

Encouraging to hear more sellers expecting stock end of March, hopefully its not delayed too much (the wait is already killing me!).

This doesn't make it anymore easier for me...its between the S2 and the Sony Ericsson Arc for me.

 

[NZtechfreak]

Why would you even go near the Arc if the SGSII is in your budget?

I'm on T-mobile too, but you have to face the facts. The smallest major carrier with its own 1700mhz AWS band all to itself. T-mobile has the biggest blame here.

@NZTechFreak. The Arc is sexy looking, and sex sells. Especially in a crowded black slab me-too environ.

 

[NZtechfreak]

I realise the Arc is sexy as hell, but given the vast gulf in their specs I wouldn't have thought many here would go for it over the SGSII...

Just that one guy. And that rehash known as the Inspire has a pretty boisterous forum. Mmmm I like when the mods get mean.

Because I like both handsets for different reasons.

 

[NZtechfreak]

Just curious is all...

 

[zafonic]

A lot will depend on the price of the Galaxy S2 as price has not been confirmed as far as I know. If it ends up being over the

Both Clove and Play.com claim now that it will only be released in May. :-(

 

[NZtechfreak]

Disappointing, but expected (I initially estimated a May release, so its in line with that). The wait goes on.

 

[mrvirginia]

yep, i was actually thinking June so May is okay with me!

 

[chocobosandwich]

More May inklings. I dunno if this site is reliable. Said they spoke to a rep...

[chocobosandwich]

OMG CNET Asia. Speaking with CEO of Samsung Asia. I would think this is reliable. Expected April release in Singapore.

Singapore getting Samsung Galaxy S II in April - Crave - CNET Asia

 

[NZtechfreak]

That would fit with what happened last year with the SGS1, being released in its home market about a month before it appeared elsewhere. I expected that.

 

[Tennis]

How far after the non USA phone is released will we get it in the states? Like a month after?

 

[Tennis]

Hope this phone works as advertised.

 

[chocobosandwich]

I remember the Wave coming out in April, the GS coming out in May, and then the Vibrant coming out in June. But I can't wait til June!
