Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S II now available for Stateside use on AT&T and T-Mobile
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungT-MobileAT&TGalaxy S II
Want the Samsung Galaxy S II so badly that you can't wait for it to be offered by your carrier? Well, if you are an AT&T or T-Mobile customer and don't mind spending the money, an unlocked version of the phone offered right now by Newegg will let you use the pipelines belonging to the two GSM mobile operators (although AT&T users will have 3G only). The unit, available from the retailer for $649.99, has quad-band GSM (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900) and quad-band UMTS (850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100) connectivity. And for those Canadians who don't want to buy the phone from Virgin Mobile or Bell, Newegg Canada is offering an unlocked model for the same price.
Besides having to pay an unsubsidized price fo...

White Samsung Galaxy S II coming to Vodafone, Three UK in September
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
If you’re: a) living or working in the UK; b) love or have nothing against Three or Vodafone; and c) want to buy yourself a new Android smartphone – we suggest you to wait a bit. The reason, you ask? The white version of the Samsung Galaxy S II is coming to Three and Vodafone in September. That’s like a month from now but it is well worth the wait.

Samsung Galaxy S II in white looks legit; Coming in late August?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
We’re not sure whether we should believe the image above is legit or not. We want to believe and think it makes perfect sense for Samsung to offer the white version of its super-popular Android smartphone to reach even more users. However, aside from that image, we also have another one that looks a bit different. Both of them come from phone retailers, Digitec and Mobilefun, and we’re not sure which one’s official and which one is a Photoshop mockup.
Anyway, we’re hearing the white Samsung Galaxy S II will be released at some point in late August. I’m sure it will sell like crazy with those who haven’t grabbed the original unit because it’s “too black,” going for this one. That’s presuming ...

Samsung: 5 million Galaxy S II handsets shipped in 85 days
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
Samsung announced on Wednesday that it has now shipped more than 5 million flagship Galaxy S II smartphones in just 85 days. The phone became Samsung’s fastest selling smartphone when it hit the 3 million-unit milestone in just 55 days. Samsung now reportedly maintains a 56% share of the mobile phone market in South Korea. The phone maker has yet to launch the device in the United States, but our recent exclusive leak of AT&T’s Galaxy S II handset suggests that official carrier announcements could be right around the corner.

Samsung Galaxy S II with WiMAX stops by the FCC on its way to Sprint
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
This Sprint-bound Galaxy S II already posed for one candid and now it also appears to have made a tour of the FCC's testing facilities. Packing CDMA and WiMAX radios, along with a design that matches the leak and and an appropriate model number (SPH-D710), this definitely appears to be the Within we were expecting. So far the only additional clue teased from the FCC documents comes from Wireless Goodness which points out it's 5mm taller and 3mm wider than Euro-spec Galaxy S IIs, but feel free to click the source link and look for yourself.

Galaxy S2 Slider for AT&T leaks
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is with 8.49mm very thin. The sleak new Android phone is set to launch in the United Statesnext month. Now photos appear from a slightly thicker Samsung Galaxy S2 that features a slide-out keyboard. Let's call it for now Samsung Galaxy S2 Slider.
According to BGR the model number is SGH-I927 and it si coming to AT&T. If AT&T is launching the Galaxy S2 Slider also in August is unclear. For heavy texters the S2 Slider could be an interesting option. We do not have any specifications on this phone yet. It is likely very similar to the standard Galaxy S2 besides offering the slide-out keyboard and the resulting increase in thickness.

Samsung Galaxy S II coming next month
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
While we were just wondering what’s the holdup with the Samsung Galaxy S II in the United States, a Samsung executive said that we could be seeing this superphone as early as next month.
“We expect to release the Galaxy S2 in the U.S. market sometime in August,” said Shin Jong-kyun, president of Samsung’s mobile business and digital imaging, according to Yonhap.
The Samsung Galaxy S II is expected to follow its predecessor by coming to all four major carriers and we’ve even seen the brand names leak. Samsung might be taking a bit more time with these to add some more features or to ensure that it can use its own dual-core chip exclusively.

Microsoft's WPC 2011 conference which we reported from yesterday is in full swing, and special time was dedicated to Windows Phone, with Redmond showing off not one or two, but four new WP handsets. While it didn't specify many details about the phones themselves, Microsoft reiterated that we will have three new manufacturers jumping on the bandwagon - Acer, Fujitsu and ZTE.
But there were actually four handsets on stage, with the fourth being none other but the Windows Phone version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, one of the best handsets money can currently buy. Samsung's phone, as well as all others that were present during the keynote, seemed to have the good ol' front-facing camera, which i...

Samsung Galaxy S II teardown reveals major redesign, cutting-edge tech

As part of its new Teardown Research Service, market research firm ABI Research has torn Samsung’s Galaxy S II apart in order to analyze and test the components Samsung used to build its latest flagship device. “If you are looking to keep up with the latest technology in 2011, the Galaxy S II is a good place to start,” ABI Research’s report states, listing the device’s major changes compared to the original Galaxy S as including the Exynos dual-core processor, a new single-packaged multi-band multi-mode radio from RFMD, a new CMOS-based antenna switch and a lower-power XMM6260 cellular chipset from Infineon. “Samsung started from scratch with this phone: almost every component is new,” ABI R...

Another Galaxy S II passes through the FCC, possibly rockin' a Tegra 2
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
What we have here appears to be some variation of the Samsung Galaxy S II, with support for 850MHz and 1900MHz GSM frequencies, making its way through the FCC. Now, we know what you're thinking, "didn't we already see an AT&T ready S II?" Yep, but this one sports a different model number -- GT-I9103, and you know where we've seen that before? Those mysterious Tegra 2-equipped Galaxy S II benchmarks. The rumblings of Sammy's flagship handset coming in two versions, one rocking NVIDIA's mobile chip, aren't without precedent -- Exynos is still fairly young silicon and this could be a way to boost supplies (as we put it, in the most politically correct terms possible) "outside its critical marke...
