Samsung teases next Android announce, Galaxy S bound for T-Mobile next month?

It's no secret that Samsung wants to spread its high-end Galaxy S far and wide, but the exact details of its US attack have been a mystery thus far. TmoNews is reporting a "trusted source" as saying that the phone is pegged for a launch on T-Mobile on July 21, which matches up with some chatter we've been hearing as well. Though T-Mobile's been supporting Android as aggressively as any carrier in the world, the company lacks a hero device -- something akin to the Droid Incredible or EVO 4G -- so it would stand to reason that Samsung's best Android gear to date would be a good fit over there. Nothing wrong with a Super AMOLED display in a sub-10mm shell, now, is there? In the meantime, we've been invited to an event on June 29 to see "the next generation in Android smartphones" from Sammy, so we're hoping for some more details then -- and naturally, we'll be on hand.

Two weeks after the release they will drop support for the device and release a new one instead.

[meatball Posted Jun 8th 2010 8:59PM]

I want that big ass Sidekick re-load with the 4.3 inch screen and snapdragon nextGEN. Never liked anything from samsungm much.

[John Doe Posted Jun 8th 2010 9:00PM]

*shrugs* Sadly after finding out Samsung's upgrade policies....pass.

[John Doe Posted Jun 8th 2010 9:00PM]

The really sad thing is people will buy it not knowing this.

[EggoEspada Posted Jun 8th 2010 9:02PM]

@John Doe Yea. Beautiful device, horrible support..

NERRRRRRRD RRRRRRRRAGE!!!111!

[Argonaut Posted Jun 9th 2010 7:54AM]

@Psyclotr0n Loud Noises!

[Dandmcd Posted Jun 8th 2010 9:19PM]

Kind of late since the supposed release date is July 11th, but the Intercept for Sprint could be announced at this conference as well.

[Sniggih Posted Jun 8th 2010 9:24PM]

@Dandmcd why does this look like a made up add?? Like u know a Fake one **cough** photoshop

[threetee14 Posted Jun 8th 2010 9:27PM]

i dunno the stats and everything... but is this phone's screen display supposed to be better than iphone 4's?

[saturnblackhole Posted Jun 9th 2010 12:42AM]

@threetee14 i think the iphone4 has a better resolution but the glaxy has a brighter screen with the amoled screen.

[mrqs Posted Jun 9th 2010 3:10AM]

@threetee14

it's got FAR better contrast and it's brighter - obviously we don't know about touch sensitivity of either

[JakeInDC Posted Jun 8th 2010 9:28PM]

yawn

[xboomer Posted Jun 8th 2010 9:31PM]

I hear that galaxy s or some variant is fcc certifed for at&t bands, and samples are in tester hands, right now. that would be a significant android move for t. where is samsung on that? is this some big secret or something (shades of apple) ??? isn't samsung planning a worldwide launch? can't someone confirm this, or does some dope need to lose one in a bar (i'll buy rounds, if that's what it takes)?

good grief !!...i'm impressed by the discipline...sammy tight...apple sloppy drunk...

[TheSunman89 Posted Jun 8th 2010 9:51PM]

Wonder if the Rentia is better than super amoled...

[LOVEISPEACE2012EVOLUTION Posted Jun 8th 2010 10:02PM]

@TheSunman89
Don't be silly

[Frogboy Posted Jun 8th 2010 10:10PM]

@TheSunman89

Make sure you pay your rentia or you'll get super amoled.

[Fat Scooter Posted Jun 8th 2010 9:52PM]

If anything the pinkish(magentish?) glow in the pic proves it! *semi-sarcasm*

[redeyeskranti Posted Jun 8th 2010 10:13PM]

OMG ! what a 's'uperb presentation ! Feels like Samsung has the future in its hands ..They make all the important pieces of hardware !

[LANjackal Posted Jun 8th 2010 10:17PM]

After the crap Samsung pulled with updates for the Behold(?), there's no way in hell I'd even consider buying anything from them.

[jaygutta6559 Posted Jun 8th 2010 10:35PM]

I would never waste my money on another Samsung device. It's pretty but my EVO a straight beast it eats little kids u know

[InfDaMarvel Posted Jun 8th 2010 10:37PM]

This is going to make quite a lot of tmobile users happy if they do have this on their service. I think it has a perfect form factor and the super amoled draws you in.

Iphone 4, Evo, Galaxy S, Incredible....a lot of great phones finally in the U.S.

[Megazine Posted Jun 8th 2010 10:50PM]

To bad samsung don't keep supporting their phones. Talk about fragmentation. I give android another year to work on this.

[Dinochicken Posted Jun 9th 2010 12:08AM]

No thank you.

Anyone but Samsung.

[pika2000 Posted Jun 9th 2010 12:40AM]

So, what's the advantage of this over the Nexus One, which is already shipping and guaranteed to get 2.2?

[ys Posted Jun 9th 2010 1:07AM]

Don't buy Samsung if you expect to receive any software updates for your phone. Ask any Behold 2 owner, they will tell you how wonderful Samsung is.

[motionmonk1 Posted Jun 9th 2010 4:47AM]

@ys ya, I'm very tempted by this phone, but the way Samsung treated Behold II owners with upgrades worries me.
I barely know much about Android (Palm/Nokia guy here)... but can anyone help me out here?
-is rooting an option? How much OEM interface do you lose?
-I think I read of a Pro version that had a physical keyboard; is that still coming out?

[ys Posted Jun 9th 2010 5:09AM]

@motionmonk1
If you want Android, get the Nexus One. That's the only phone that you can expect to be updated, because that's the Google development platform. With any other Android you're at the mercy of manufacturers and carriers that just don't care.

[mrqs Posted Jun 9th 2010 3:08AM]

@samsung

update my galaxy you bastards

[pika2000 Posted Jun 9th 2010 4:49AM]

@mrqs Well, this IS the update. ;) You just have to buy it. Really though, this has been the way things goes for cellphones, to get the newer OS, you have to buy a new phone.

[Kuro01 Posted Jun 9th 2010 3:26AM]

This phone needs a flash and a front facing camera asap. ;/

[Kuro01 Posted Jun 9th 2010 3:46AM]

@Kuro01 Wait is that.. a camera on the front next to the speaker under "Samsung"?

[Johnny Rockets Posted Jun 9th 2010 8:07PM]

No camera flash means blehhhh

So close to an absolutely perfect super phone!!!!

[SParklingCYaNide Posted Jun 14th 2010 12:29AM]

@Johnny Rockets I agree that is the ONLY thing holding me back.
