Official Release Date Rumor Thread

[Puddin422]

Well, no threads on here at all, so I figured i'd kick it off with a release date rumor thread!!

 

[Aatos.1]

I have a strong source that intimates a mid July release on AT&T.

 

[Puddin422]

Awesome. There was a leak from someone at Sprint that its version coming out in July as well.

Even though I already have an unlocked SGS II without any carrier branding, I'm going to buy this one from AT&T. Then I will be free to really do a lot of customizations to my original, without time constraints.

I have been enjoying this phone so much, I use it everyday. That's rare since I have a lot of other Androids, and I really like to switch between different models.

Having had this one for several weeks, it never ceases to amaze me that the newness has not worn off.

It's still such a fantastic phone.

 

[Puddin422]

Care to take a moment to compare it to some of your other devices? Thanks in advance.

The Galaxy-S II is following the exact same release schedule the Galaxy-S did a year ago. The Captivate came out late July. There's no reason to believe the Attain will be any different.

 

[Puddin422]

Epic wasnt released until Aug 31, but the Within is supposed to be released in July. So I'm not sure i'd call it "the same exact release schedule."

Samsung Attain Galaxy S II for AT&T Gets Pictured

Here, my friends is a picture, some info and a cradle or dock I've not seen before ...

Enjoy!

In a follow up post, I'll do a mini comparison with a few of my other Androids in my collection.

Cheers

Interesting. Is it just me, or is there a serious lack of leaks and info for a release only a month away? I'm very hopeful regardless.

 

[jasrub]

Can't wait.. Currently have an IPhone, and my contract is up in July, and wanting to get this phone..

There's been a bit of behind the scenes politics that just about caused this deal to lose a blower belt...ha..ha..ha...

( example just for you drag racers )

That's why there has been radio silence. But I am happy to report the latest I have is that it is back on, and soon too...

Cheers

Ohhh losing a blower belt is the worst! (My car actually uses a gear drive to drive a centrifugal supercharger)

AT&T bound Samsung Galaxy S2 (Attain) Photos - I4U News

 

[bigjerries]

by the looks of that photo. it looks like it has froyo not gingerbread.

 

[Puddin422]

Someone else pointed out that it looked like Touchwiz 3.0 instead of the 4.0 it's supposed to have.

Don't even get me started. As a very hard core ex-racer (three decades) I grew up in a Motorsports family, that "only" raced...

Karting
Drag racing
Sprint Cars
Formula Car Road Racing
Bonneville Salt Flats

My adrenalin skyrockets at the sights and sounds of racing.

Oh Heck Yeah.. don't get me started

This is me. First woman to go 200+ on radial tires. (stock suspension/drag radial class if youre familiar)

It looks like they changed the button configuration from the overseas version. I was kinda looking forward to having the center home button.

 

[Puddin422]

I was not looking forward to having an iphone looking gimmick.

Me either.... horrible

Hey thanks for posting the vid of you and your race car. A very impressive accomplishment! For those who have never drag raced, they have no idea just how challenging it is. I know, I will never forget my first time out. After getting staged my first impression was how wide and long the track looked... ha..ha...ha...wow, did that change once I was underway.

Cheers

 

[Puddin422]

It does look wide and long if you're in a normal car.

Does everyone REALLY think this is the Samsung Attain??? It is CLEARLY the Samsung Infuse..

 

[Screech]

I'm still not regretting getting my GS2 from Norway. I like the centered home button with only one button to each side, but this is my first phone to be called "smart" so I'm not use to any 4 button layout that most androids have.

@forddna: Nice run. I love working on cars myself and even gave drag racing a try, but it was way too short a run for the time you had to wait and move through the line. I've moved to solo-2 for now and plan on some PDX runs and VIR and later on time trails once the car and my self meet the requirements for that. I don't really plan on any kind of wheel to wheel racing as I don't want someone else's mistake to cause me any grief.

 

[Puddin422]

jasper, yeah, I guess we never actually said it outloud, but that's why it was mentioned 2.2 instead of 2.3 and tw 3.0 instead of 4.0.

Screech, that's cool. I like anything fast and on the edge. But drag racing allows for lots of competition, shit talking, rivalries, etc. It's a good fit for an overly competitive person like me.
