Wishful thinking.

Off course this phone will make it to NA and a lot of providers will carry it or have one of the others in its family....

NA is not slated for release until q3, i simply couldnt wait that long. also, no garauntee it will be the same phone. the samsung processor is awesome and in short supply. same with the super amoled plus screens. theres talk about a tegra2 super lcd version being released later. no messing around, i got the uk version, which is also the thinnest and lightest version.

projected release dates: http://galaxy-s2.com/?p=328

fact of the matter is, mts wont have this phone forever and its the only network in manitoba worth being on. so, waiting for a contract phone wasnt even a consideration.

At least you'll be able to enjoy the better camera soon. Played with one of these today. Not a bad device.

How much did that end up costing you?
I only just picked up a Galaxy S I because I could get it for $300.

Bought a Captivate on eBay for under three bills. Can't wait to (finally) get on the new network!

What are you getting for download speeds? It would be nice to know since I believe your the first to have a 21MBps capable phone on MTS's HSPA+ network.
