[NEW] Galaxy SII/Function/Fascinate 2 Release?

I need to buy something before my girlfriend's Eris dies (it's on its last leg). She's getting my Incredible when I upgrade.

If I would you, I would go to ebay and buy something cheap to tide the time until it is released. You can get Palm Pixi's for 30 bucks right now. Not the greatest phone, but if you really want that GS2, it would be worth it.
 
Time to compromise. If her phone breaks before the S2 comes out then tell her to go upgrade and then when you upgrade to the S2, sell the Incredible and give her the money to cover the cost of her new phone. If you don't get enough to cover the costs then tell her to take better care of her phone next time so she won't have had to get a new one before you are ready. If you get more than what she spent then you keep the extra. Win/win situation in my book.

That is the nice route. You could also tell her that since you aren't married she can worry about her own damn phone and you don't owe her a thing :)

Yeah until she leaves your ass lol
 
You are not responsible for her phone. If it dies she buys a new one. Unless I'm missing something?

It's a family plan, and the financial side of it is a long and complicated story with which I won't bore you all. Suffice it to say that I'll continue to cross my fingers, toes, and anything else I can manage to cross that this phone comes out before or around the same time as the Bionic.

Edit: That said, I do appreciate you guys trying to help. Group hug.
 
The latest...from a first-time poster (so take it FWIW) -

Samsung galaxy 2 for verizon is coming end of august beginning of september sometime.
Samsung now is focusing on the galaxy tabs 10.1 and 8.9 before they put their focus on galaxy s2. This info comes straight from a samsung us regional rep. I wish I knew a motorola rep. Verizon is really letting me down. I feel like moving to sprint everyday.

Guess that would go with my prediction in another thread. Bionic, S2, then iPhone. Verizon will try to spread them out over a 30 day period.

This makes sense, (given a 14 day return policy) to let them release 15 days apart, and would time up well.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Launch Delayed for Verizon

Basically says that "latest reports" indicate a August release. No indication of sources or why it's "delayed". Another interesting tidbit noted in the article is that it states that Verizon was "all but confirmed as the first carrier to be receiving the new Galaxy". Hadn't heard anything about that.
 
End of article:

Needless to say, if and when the iPhone 5 launches in the near future, the S2, just like every other Smartphone the world over, will have its work cut out to say the least.

This seems like a stupid, yet almost(?) intentional strategy. Keep us awash in year-old Android tech so the iPhone can wow us once more, despite its run-of-the-mill features. True, that's a bit tin-foil-hat, but it's frustrating when this has been released overseas for months. What are they doing?
 
I hope it comes out soon. I would like to compare this and the bionic side by side.
 
Whether it be the hercules or the function they will always make a better device each year. I know I am going to get one of them. Touchwiz is getting better and I just want a device that works. I am tired of rooting and having to flash roms and kernels to fix simple stuff out of the box. And then when you complain its basically your problem for not doing enough research. Every device has issues but I want to go with a device with the least issues out of the box and root because I want to.

Not that the Verizon reps at the store ever know anything, but I wasn't happy when I was there today and we started talking about phones for me to upgrade to in the near future, I made it clear that I was not impressed with the Verizon line-up, and they recommended the Bionic. I told the two reps, one was a district manager, that I was waiting on the S2 and neither one had any clue what I was talking about. I explained further and the other one said he had thought it wasn't coming to Verizon. I think he was just talking out his ass, but it is obvious that Bionic is coming out sooner rather than later, and we still have a bit more waiting for the S2. :(
