It's also been announced on At&t's facebook and twitter




All I have now is Q4. As we find more info ...lets put it here.

as a reminder....this is a hobby for me. I run a retail store in no way shape or form related to phones or even electronics. I do this in spare time in between running a successful business, raising a 10 yr old and planning a wedding that is coming up on 11-11-11.

By no means is any information I obtain official or from an official source.

That being said....I remind all of this:


Dictionary

If you are not cool with that.....and or don't understand the definition.....don't post lol



Edit 9-21-11

All I have for you is a confirmed release on At&t in Q4.

No Keyboard

Sorry, just saw this!

 

[mgoblueno1]

I would guess it gets released sometime around thanksgiving

 

[Mr. Ed]

The very little information out there matches this.. look for a black friday release or that Sunday prior

 

[Mr. Ed]

Best buy started pre orders today!!

 

[pokey89]

You have a link for that Best Buy pre-order? I couldn't find it

 

[MisterEd]

I have a sneakin' suspicion that they are only selling them in LTE areas. That's what the local BB guy said anyway.

 

[Mr. Ed]

I preordered in store

 

[pokey89]

I certainly hope what you are saying MisterEd isn't true. That would suck.

However I did find where I could preorder one that is unlocked from here.

Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Skyrocket AT&T Unlocked US Version at MobileCityOnline.com

$649.99 though

If of comes down to it and you need me to buy you one just let me know.

Still waiting on pricing. Everyone I have checked states call back Friday

I'm sure Amazon or one of the other online stores will have it. Problem is, I want to see both the HTC and this one. I may still end up with the T-Mo version since it also works on AT&T (but no LTE which doesn't really matter). I'll have gone through 3 more phones before LTE becomes available here.

I thought you guys were on the list to get it before end of year?

Been looking but can't find anything that says so. I'm in the Northern NJ/ NYC area, I would think we'd be on top of the list.

AT&T LTE Service Coming to New York City

 

[Mr. Ed]

Just got my confirmation email from Best Buy...I will be picking mine up first thing in the morning

I was very sad when I received an email at 4am telling me it would NOT be in

 

[MisterEd]

AT&T LTE Service Coming to New York City

Thanks. Interesting. I'm in NJ so hopefully it will spill over. Unfortunately though with att "soon" can mean forever. kind of like waiting for official Gingerbread on the Infuse.

Also the speeds listed in that article are terrible hope at least that part is wrong.

 

[Jellz]

Yeah, 5-12 mbps is rather slow...

AT&T 4G LTE speed report: HTC Vivid and Samsung Skyrocket - SlashGear

That shows a bit better, and I've seen other articles with speed tests on the LTE network showing similar speedy results.

There's also this one, which I think anyone who has looked for a comparison between the Verizon and AT&T network online has seen:

[MisterEd]

$149 from AT&T (but it won't let me order). The Vivid is $99 (and it also won't let me order).

thanks for that! totally getting best buy to price match it

 

[jslanger]

Can anyone show proof of the $149 price to get a price match from BB?

I found walmart online for $199.99...
Screen capture here:

 

[Mr. Ed]

Att fixed the misprint of $149

 

[joeynym]

I still see it for $149.99

 

[Crispy1805]

I think certain Zip codes are seeing it for $149.99.

 

[Mr. Ed]

That could be...it made me put in my zip

I got mine at best buy for the 199 price match
