Wishful thinking or maybe?

Verizon has a 6 month exclusive. Not sure if that is from the originally planned release of Nov, or the actual release of Dec. That means a probable May/June release on Sprint. That lines up with Sprint's, planned "mid year" release statement. ATT has 3 versions of the GSII, then the GSIII will be out around mid year. I doubt they will get the Nexus.

Source for it being 6 months?

[tim242]

Source for no more exclusive? Verizon has an exclusive. That is a fact. When they announced the phone, they stated this. Since there has not been an exclusivity period of less than 6 months, and Sprint said release would be mid year, that should give you your answer. Att has three variations of the GSII, do you think they'd release a 4th?

I meant more the 6 month part...granted it's been all rumor/speculation, but a few people have floated 3 months instead of 6 (but really, just more wishful thinking on my part) Also, I don't really care if ATT gives it it's full blessing, I'll take a nexus s style release and have it be sold at best buy or whereever else

BS. there is no proof of a Verizon 6 month exclusive. Sprint says "in the first half of 2012". Sprint is not going to sit on this phone for 6 months. you don't sit on a phone for 6 months when it has a 12 month life cycle.
