Release date rumors?

[RoperBand]

Looks like it could be this month, although it doesn't specifically mention AT&T:

[LEAK] Samsung Galaxy S2 First Hits North America July 21st

That's the release in Canada. The US will NOT be seeing a GS2 in July.

It's starting to seem rather unlikely for July.

qualified for an upgrade and no good offerings from AT&T. . . . what are they waiting for?

Word posted today is sometime in August. Over in the the Sprint forum they're speculating sometime early September, so people don't buy a Photon on July 31 and return it to get the S2. Verizon is thinking a few weeks after the Bionic. My question is this, are there any releases from AT&T that will push back this release?

Supposedly the HTC Holiday has been in testing for a while. Not sure when it will release and not sure if it would impact time of release on att. These will definitely be two powerful phones. I'm already having a tough time choosing between them!

Maybe the LG Thrill?

I wouldn't be surprised if the GSII roughly followed the release schedule of the original Galaxy S last year. AT&T first, followed by Sprint, followed by Verizon. I'm not sure about T-Mobile this time though. Last year they got the Galaxy S shortly after AT&T.

So I'd guesstimate AT&T mid August, Sprint early September, Verizon late Sept/early Oct, with T-Mobile somewhere in between.

Backing up jemcmichael

"President of Samsung's mobile division, Shin Jong-kyun, told reporters on Wednesday, "we expect to release the Galaxy S II in the US market sometime in August.""

they are right...not much but something. thanks for the link

IM betting it will like the Captivate not have the Home button and be loaded with ATT and Samsung Bloat.... The home button is why all of the best custom kernels from the i9000 developers had to be reoriented for the Captivate..No home button.

I'm thinking the late release of the US Galaxy 2's is to take away from some of the iPhone mayhem/thunder that "will" happen. BUT, Apple is a master at creating hype and having the masses waiting to see their pride and joy products, case in point, the late release of the new iPhone...:-X

I'm guessing a release date in September..

Oh yea, isn't that an understatement. At my stops for work I've seen an influx of people who, in the last 2 months, have ditched their blackberries or upgraded their iPod touches for iPhones. The way the explanation of why they got the phone tends to start "my cousin was showing me.." , whether it be apps or features and what not. My point being that Apple has made that hype machine so big that most of the time people don't even know why they got the phone, but other people they know have it. I mean who uses a two year upgrade on an IPhone 4 when the 5 is 2 or less months away? That hype has been there since day 1 and is now fueling itself. I'm no business expert so let Sammy do what they do but going heads up with an IPhone launch might be foolish. If it doesn't go as well as planned I hope they get to blame our U.S. carriers for time spent on alterations.

Crackberry today showed a Roadmap for AT&T devices and it listed the Samsung SGH i927 for Q3.

[Broheemster]

Well at least we only have one more month of Q3 so there's not much to guess about for an AT&T date. Finally all this guessing and teasing madness will be behind us and we can enjoy this product. It would still be nice if they gave out dates for all the carriers at the announcement though. It's the least they can do.

AC referred to the Samsung SGH i777 as the GS2. The 927 as the keyboard variant.
