[Q] Galaxy S II ATT?

---

On Samsung's website, the specs say that the new Galaxy S II supports 2g/3g/HSPA+ AT&T bands, as reported by Engadget and phonedog as well. However, I've heard from different sources that Samsung has locked down American GSM bands to avoid those across the pond buying international phones rather than the always slow to release cell-provider branded phones (like the Fascinate or Captivate)

My question is are the American GSM bands locked on the new Galaxy S II or can I use the phone with AT&T? I desperately need a new phone, given the fact that my Aria holds less than 6 hours worth of charge without having 3g or wifi on. I'd rather not wait and go ahead and pre-order this phone if I can.

lmao i hope they dont, because ive ordered one, and am planning on using it on my att

Samsung would not advertise it as Quad-Band GSM on its own website if the frequencies we locked would they?

Please let us know if this works!!

Not sure where I read it but I did hear that all the bands are unlocks. This message came from Samsung.

Where did you order yours from, if you dont mind me asking.

Thanx

This has been a hot topic of conversation over the last month or so but finally we have confirmation of the Samsung Galaxy S II specs that remained to be clarified.

Having spoken to the UK Product Manager for the Samsung Galaxy S II, we can confirm that UK stock will ship with the following:

1. Samsung Dual Core Exynos CPU (not NVidia Tegra 2)

2. 3G frequencies are 850/900/1900/2100 (Quad band)

3. Display is Super AMOLED Plus

4. Box contents: Handset, battery, charger, USB cable, headset, Quick start guide.

If you have an outstanding pre-order with Clove for the SGS2, you will be receiving an email regarding this confirmation of spec within the next day or so and you will be given the chance to cancel the order if this is not the specification that you were hoping for. However, we hope that for the majority of you this will be good news and we look forward to shipping your order as soon as possible.
