I'll be renewing my T-Mobile contract soon, I'm so glad to see Samsung Galaxy S II listed as a potential phone :)allingm - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - link
Apple is suing Samsung for making an iPhone look a like. I have my Samsung Galaxy S sitting in front of me, and I have to admit it looks like an iPhone 3GS from the front. This new phone though looks just like the iPhone 4. Does Samsung really want to get sued again?fhaddad78 - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - link
I love it! I hope they make an exact clone, but a clone that you can hold any way you like. Now that Steve Jobs isn't around to tell us we are holding it wrong, we will need some amazing and magical AI that can adjust for us retards holding a phone incorrectly.fhaddad78 - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - link
Yes, I'm replying to my own comment. I just thought of something.Isn't Apple's lawsuit without merit because their phones must be held a certain way and Samsung's phones do not do that. They chose to use their own patent that says you can hold a phone any way you want.

Apple lost in court on the ripped-off design issue.saf227 - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - link
Great job, big V! I've been waiting on this phone - now I'm going to sign up with someone else instead to get it. Way to take choice out of your customer's hands and drive them away!JasonInofuentes - Saturday, August 27, 2011 - link
Don't bail just yet. Focus on the message. They're going to be absent of the event. That doesn't mean they won't get an SGSII device.
