% chance att is out on 18th?

[travis442]

I'm still wanting this guys post to be true. I had a similar experience with my local AT&T place with the kinda wink* wink* nudge* nudge* thing happening. He said that it certainly would be a good day to launch a new phone because they always get a refresh on Sundays... Idk anymore. Today's a new day and a good day to tell us something! C'mon AT&T! Make our weekend! lol

Agreed it would be good to hear that its coming out on Sunday, but in reality I would be happy with just giving a release date even if its not for a couple of weeks.

For all we know they got that date from AC. AC were the first and only ones to post that date. All of the major tech sites didn't even post a date. While it would be really sweet, the 18th is not looking good.

I do believe Slashgear also had Mentioned the 18th and later pulled
the date out. Didn't confirm this one either, but someone had watched the presser
online, claimed Samsung actually stated the 18th for ATT.

I'm thinking Sprint paid extra for some period of
domestic exclusivity. At least to be able to say they
launched it first. Still REALLY hoping ATT will have it
Sunday, just couldn't announce it earlier due to Sprint deal..
At minimum, I want this phone next weekend

This. I'm not giving up just yet though. Although I'd like it this weekend because its honestly torture to not have a smart phone.

I watched the presser and Samsung did not once mention a date for AT&T. I did see the 18th in a chat though. Not sure where it came from. And Slashgear still has the article posted with the 18th in the headline. Weird.

***and if you read the first comment to the article it is someone asking where they got the 18th as a release date as the press release nor Samsung mentioned a date.

Yeah there definitely seems to be several different sources that are reporting the 18th but nothing official from AT&T which unfortunately is the only one that matters. I wish they would quit screwing around and just give us the damn date.

Amen brother.

Amen brother.

And pass the peas....

I would never of believed a mere .2 of an inch could keep me from getting a phone.... But I had the Infuse for a week, and I gotta tell you, when that phone was OFF, it was always a, "smidge
too big", when screen was ON, it didn't bother me. But I an holding out for At&t cuz I think its the perfect size, I prefer the squared off corners vs Sprints more rounded ones, At&t's signal is better than Sprints in my area, and last but not least, I am dying for the opportunity (no matter how far on the future it may be) to whip out my phone at the first Express Pay terminal I encounter, and my SGS ll's NFC chip is chomping at the bit too... lol I been reading up on Google Wallet, I know a lot of ppl don't trust the technology yet, but im almost thinking its worth getting hacked just to be able to use it... Lol
J/k : )

Just found this:

Samsung Galaxy S2 Release Date: Available to Sprint and AT&T Users This Weekend, Christian News

September 18th could still be possible.

Unfortunately it seems all of these smaller sites are simply getting that date from whichever site first reported it. None of them state a source. Regardless I just tried calling two more stores and both were clueless. (which is not shocking) I was really hoping for tomorrow but as of now I don't think it's in the cards.

Interesting. This is really getting insane now. If it does drop tomorrow I'd be really interested to know why they didn't announce a date. I would just find it weird that nothing was said what so ever even if it was only one day notice. Just guess at 10 tomorrow morning I'll be making a few phone calls. In the meantime I will keep checking this thread.

That was the posters first post on the forum. My local at&t just told me they have no info when the GII will launch.

 

[SonicTheKevin]

I just got off the phone with my store in Allentown, PA and they said that they were releasing a wave of new phones in two weeks and he's looking at the GS2 being in that wave

 

[Broheemster]

Yep, I just heard from 2 reps, delay till October. My scenario in the Sept 25th thread.

 

[Simba501]

I seem to remember this was the case with the Captivate too. I remember it being a VERY soft launch for AT&T compared with the other carriers, and there being very little concrete confirmation that the phones would be in stores until a day or two before they came out.

If they don't surface this Sunday, I wouldn't count on seeing them until the next weekend because AT&T mostly releases new product only on Sundays...

I think it's very likely to launch tomorrow. They rarely advertise their release dates. On the Inspire's release date, prior to, there had been absolutely no advertising (no commercials; not even word from AT&T). Sure enough, on the day of, I went to Best Buy and got one. I was the only one there (at opening) for that purpose. I'm not really shaken much by the lack of confirmations. I'm heading to a store tomorrow fully expecting to pick one up. I've seen several articles, including one from our very own Android Central state the release date as the 18th.

I'll be heading there as well, but with a little bit of a more pessimistic attitude. Called a few of my AT&T stores AGAIN today and instead of speaking to managers I just got random people. 2 of which didn't say it wasn't coming, but did say they haven't gotten shipments... yet. (It was 3:30 here in sunny Florida)


I REALLY hope this phone drops... and soon. Most of my stores are in malls and every time I was in one I made a detour to the Sprint store to play with one. Such a gorgeous phone.

 

[ddominator]

I'm from Chicago and I called 2 stores in the Downtown area. They do not have any new phones or the SGS2 launching tomorrow.

I hope they just surprise us. This looks like I'm waiting for the Nexus Prime.

I too called and got negative confirmation but I'm still gonna ride by tomorrow regardless and hope for the best.

 

[mpazevedo]

I talked to a Frys guy this afternoon and he said he talked to an AT&T rep and he said it will be there tomorrow. Since AT&T is releasing 2 other phones and the launch of LTE in select markets tomorro, I believe it.

 

[moopile]

3 new phones on AT&T site. None the SGSii.
