I remember the Samsung president promising US release in August.and some sources with "insider information" claiming that it is coming 12th.

however, there is absolutely no news regarding the Samsung Galaxy S2 verizon version or Stratosphere. Is there still a hope for this friday release? Do carriers release phones without prior announcement?


This is really pissing me off because my phone was broken 2.5 months ago and i was expecting either Driod Bionic or Galaxy S2 be out by now.
 
I think what was meant by his statement was that those devices would hit US markets on the 12th of August.. from there on end, it would be up to the Carriers to decide when they would release them. We all know that even thought we're barely getting any news of specific Galaxy S II for different Carriers, via articles and rumors, it is easy to understand that the only ones who really do know anything would be the Carriers themselves.

So the CEO of Samsung didnt so much as lie, he just didnt specifically say that the Galaxy S II would be available for purchase on August 12th.

It wont be till next month that we know exactly when these devices will surface for purchase.

Samsung said aug they never gave a date the 12 was all rumors from some tech site with little credibility to verify it. Looking like sept 8 but that may just be for the slider with lte. We shall see.
