Sometime this spring I made a cellphone choice. When it was time to get a new phone I’d get the Samsung Galaxy S II. Released first in Europe and Asia the Galaxy S II was well received.
From BGR.com: The Galaxy S II raises the bar in every way from the first Galaxy S, as it should. But it also takes things one step further and absolutely obliterates every other Android handset on the market in the specifications department. It’s not just fast, it’s the fastest. It’s not just thin, it’s the thinnest
It was announced AT&T, my carrier, would have an S II version of its own. First it was coming late spring, then summer. A rumor last week had it debuting yesterday. Nada!
I just watched a TV commercial for the S II’s Sprint iteration. Swell.
Here’s the problem. All of a sudden AT&T’s mum. They’re saying nothing and neither is Samsung.
I like my iPhone a lot. It’s certainly the best phone I’ve ever owned and, as my secret friend in the San Fernando Valley says, “the best toy ever.” I”m expecting the Galaxy S II to be a little better and since it uses Google’s Android operating system unencumbered by Apple’s draconian vise grip on apps.
I wish I knew what was holding this phone up?
Geoff,
I have had three android phones and I am very happy. I know that a “geek” like you will like being able to tinker around with the phone and make it exactly what you want. I look forward to reading your review!
Why doesn’t Verizon have these nice toys?
Here you go Geoff.

Hi Geoff,
It will be available October 2nd and will cost $199 with a two year contract according to an AT&T tweet about an hour ago.
