Verizon employee confirmed it!
I don't believe this is the SG2. I believe this is a "our bad" from Verizon to Samsung for binging up the fascinate. They gave them the honor of being the first LTE phone with the Droid branding. I think Samsung wanted to get something out there for Verizon's LTE network quickly and the SG2 wasn't ready.
Got a TB last week and will be returning it within my 14 day window. Compared to my Fascinate, it's awful in many ways. This is a brick and I swear my bicep grew an inch lugging this dumb ball around.
If they had the TB's in Japan, they could of thrown a few out towards the ocean and about 6 TB's would have stopped the Tsunami dead in its tracks.
Thing about the TB I hate are:
1) Heaviest phone I have every held, seriously uncomfortable
2) Feels odd in the hand, slippery
3) Who was the rocket scientist at HTC that put the speaker on the back side of the kickstand?
1) Oh come on, I have a 120 pound friend with a ThunderBolt.
2) It does have that weird soft-touch material
3) This was incredibly stupid of them
4) Reports for battery are ranging from "3 MINUTES WHAT THE HELL" to "what are you talking about, this is fine"
5) A refreshed Snapdragon lags? I don't see how it's possible, but if you say so, alright
6) Most of us like the off button up there. I hate when they put it on the side, personally. Matter of preference though
7) The Galaxy S II is 4.3", and you're complaining about 4.3" screens?

If the TB is too heavy of a phone for you, u need a gym membership. Also funny how you have big hands but the power button is hard to reach and you have a hard time texting. Guess the Fascinate with smaller virtual keyboard is easier to text with your big hands. That makes sense lol?
Hopefully, the SGS2 won't be a Bing fail phone like the Fascinate.
Didn't FroYo replace Bing with Google?
The current LTE radios won't fit in a SGS2.
So why not just make it a little thicker to accomodate the LTE radio? Their ad does say that the thickness will differ in different regions: Samsung makes sure you know the Galaxy S II is really, really thin with silly new ad (video) -- Engadget
Who cares how freaking thin it is? Would you really compromise functionality for the sake of saying you have the sexiest-looking device around? That niche has already been taken by our fruit-flavored brethren. Put the LTE radio in it and make it a full cm thick. See if anyone cares (they won't).
Please lookup Moore's Law.
That's the law that the amount of transistors that can fit on an IC doubles every two years. What does that have to do with thickness of an LTE phone?
The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years.[1] This trend has continued for more than half a century and is expected to continue until 2015 or 2020 or later...
The capabilities of many digital electronic devices are strongly linked to Moore's law: processing speed, memory capacity, sensors and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras...
Several measures of digital technology are improving at exponential rates related to Moore's law, including the size, cost, density and speed of components. Moore himself wrote only about the density of components (or transistors) at minimum cost.
Transistors per integrated circuit. The most popular formulation is of the doubling of the number of transistors on integrated circuits every two years. At the end of the 1970s, Moore's law became known as the limit for the number of transistors on the most complex chips. Recent trends show that this rate has been maintained into 2007
