Samsung Galaxy S II LTE phone surfaces in Korea, codenamed Celox? -- Engadget
800 mhz, but it still gives me some hope.

Well now that we know its possible for Samsung, we know who to blame for the lack of LTE then.

Take notice of the similar form/thickness of the unit. Doesn't appear as thin but its not a radical departure. All will be revealed

Also states that it's 4.5-in display. I wonder if that was a biproduct of getting the LTE radio in or just a feature enhancement.
As much as I love that we are finally seeing some kind of progress, I remain very skeptical to protect my sanity lol. We saw the SGSII debut over in Korea over three months ago and that product still has yet to reach our shores. Judging by that time line I am very hesitant to think that this will reach the US by early September.
Maybe the reason for the delay in the US is, in fact, the LTE version. Since it hasn't launched in Korea yet, they didn't have it ready from the start. So now if they have it ready, they can do a near-simultaneous launch of it.
I don't buy the "3G then 4G" mentality for Verizon, it's not like AT&T where they would be able to dump their stock and then sell a new version. It would be two new iterations for them to manufacture and distribute. And I can't picture them releasing a 3G version at this point, especially when a lot of consumers are aware of 4G, LTE or the other faux-4G networks-- we know all the other networks will market theirs as 4G.
I BELIEVE.
how long have you been a VZW customer? if any length of time you would not say that. they have the absolute worst record of releases and the absolute worst leadership in relationship to release schedule and phone selection. It wouldnt surprise me one bit to have the S2 released with 3G and then a 4G version. Just keep in mind that it will be 6-12 months after for the 4G!! That is how they roll.
I never really understood this so maybe someone can educate me. Why is the stratosphere and/or the SGSII VZW version a secret? We are far enough along in the production of these phones that I can't see any potential negative consequences for officially announcing the phone. It seems to me that the longer they wait the more people get fed up with them and the more people switch carriers or just put off using their upgrade. I understand keeping phones and new technology secret during the early stages of development etc., but we are now less then a month away. If they were to announce the specs and release date of the phone I think that it would do them a world of good. People would be very happy to finally know the details and it would build a lot of hype for their device, while removing all of the anger. It just seems to me like it is a very poor business practice to keep your customers in the dark unnecessarily.
I dunno maybe I am just missing something here, but after a certain point the rumor mill stops building hype for a phone and broods resentment. I am starting to transition into that mode and I feel like I am being tormented for no reason at all.

This really stumps me as well. There is absolutely no flow of information coming from anywhere. Even reliable sources are left in the dark on this whole thing and the ones that know will NOT say anything. Why this is so hush hush is a big mystery. Everyone is discussing whether it's 3G or LTE or what date it will release but I'm more perplexed as to why this whole thing is cloaked in secrecy.
Something is obviously going on and it could be anything from it being canceled to being kept from the public (for whatever reason) and everything in between. Even guessing is futile and meaningless because it's probably wrong anyway. I won't even begin to speculate accept to say. What the heck?!!!
This is not normal. Something is going on and hopefully sombody breaks the silence with some bit of info. I find myself feeling disturbed at being left in the dark
Off topic but did you all hear that Anonymous is going to kill Facebook on November 5th? Get your Google + accounts set up because they are talking like it will never come back. These fellas mean business
Lol don't feel bad mastergiraffe we are all making things up as we go along hahahahaha. We are going to start hallucinating if nothing comes in.
I will tell you one thing though. Thank God people haven't started telling stories of walking into stores and cs reps giving hand signals and clues about it coming. Nothing worse than that. Well maybe the story of their brothers co-workers brother best friends cousins uncles step son who works as a manager at corporate and revealed a September release. Those get draining.
