Do you think there'll be Galaxy s II variants in the us?

---

I dont see the need for galaxy s II variants since the phone has quad band 3g support , but with samsung you never know , hopefully they just put out the original version of the sgs II , variants will slow down updates, what do you think? last time it was a mess with the updates

I hope they will release in us. Otherwise the developer support will be small.

You can be almost 100% certain there will be US variants, at least to the point of adding in support for their 3G and 4G networks for which the stock doesn't have. Specifically T-Mobile and Verizon will definitely have to add in their bands seeing as how AT&T is ready from the stock device. Now, whether or not the carriers will have to lessen or get rid of any other spec to fit their setup is the big question here. I am really hoping nothing gets changed besides the addition of the extra bands, but I have a feeling that may be aiming a little high.

US carriers always wants to make "their" phones look different just to confuse the heck out of people, and be able to call it "their own"

so yeah, it's almost guaranteed we'll seem some minor changes here and there.

hopefully nothing ugly like what they did with the first release of Galaxy S... missing FFC, missing flash, missing memory, missing hard button, etc

each carrier had something slightly missing

t mobile and at & t have NOTHING to change to the original model, verizon and sprint are the ones that need changes because they work with cdma devices, but i would like samsung to stick with the galaxy s II name, it's stupid to confuse the users im guessing sprint will get another version with a keyboard

T-Mobile must add in support for their AWS bands.

Looks like the US variants might already have names...
Can't post a link yet due to post count but just do a google search for "pocketnow galaxy variants" and it should be the first result.

Galaxy Attain, Galaxy Function, Galaxy Within

No idea what carrier gets what but it's looking like 3 carriers will carry this (my guess is the standard, AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon).

Nice. I'm slightly more excited now.

Sure, I believe that there will be SGSII variants in the US however, they will be not be released in the next few months because of the delay for the launch in Europe and Samsung's habit of releasing phones a couple months late in the US. Heck, I don't even know why they do this when our country gave them the most SGS sales out of any country in the world.
