The Samsung Galaxy Note has passed through the FCC with AT&T bands

That explains why their version of the SGSII has the 4.3" screen. It better differentiates it from the Note.

Well like it or not at&t usually always gets the best phones even tho there network ain't the greatest. Well actually it ain't that bad as many people make it to be. If u live in LA like me u are gonna wish u had at&t or Verizon for indor reception inside elevators, underground parking lots and highrise building. Because t-mobile and sprint usually crap out in all those places I'm not even gonna get into that cuz its pointless arguing. At&t and Verizon is the only way to go if ur in the LA area. Lol I remember a while back I decided to give t-mobile a try I got a g2x never making the same mistake twice! I didn't even get signal inside LA fitness gym lol how lame I saw people on metro pcs that went to the gym that wud be chatting away on there crappy metro pcs phones while I had no service on t-mobile. Thank god I have at&t now a Samsung infuse I now have full reception inside the Gym..

i still dont understand why you would want a phone so big. people might as well just buy a tablet and use that to call people.

Probably wont hit American carriers for 2-3mos

Yes, I'd like a tablet that makes calls yet still fits in my pocket. It almost makes having both voice and data worth it (although, I'm still not going to pay $100 for both). But I won't be getting one if it's GSM. Still considering HTC flyer on UScellular instead, but I do fancy the note.

What about Verizon and LTE? Since Droid Prime looks to delivered first looks like
for a bump from my Droid X's 4.3"
I'll need to settle(?) for a 4.65" HD display.

Verizon should have no excuse for passing up this whopper and getting LTE in this thing and keeping a slim enough profile shouldn't be too hard since it's so big.

lol my 4.52 inch Epic 4G Touch feels big but compared to this beast it looks like the iphone.

Yea Verizon should pick this monster up and be like HA FOOLED U GUYS!

Bah this is so tempting..... I've been sitting on an upgrade since June and can't decide to wait or get the sgs2.... Maybe the wife will get me a cool hand me down and ill pick this up when it comes out

anyone have a good guess if it will go to another company aside from ATT even though it has specs for ATT doesnt all Galaxy phones go to everyone eventually any comments would help I got a 27 percent discount with sprint so i dont want to leave them

I might just get one as a toy to play with and see how it stacks up with the established competition. People tend to forget that the average human hand is only so large meaning this device can't be sold to most of the handset buyers.

I believe if they made the device more squarish like a GPS to held horizontally or in landscape mode, it would have a larger market. People can always use bluetooth devices to make phone calls.

Like I said it will be nice to sample the device. So far i've had a great track record predicting the success of products based on sampling and their business costs such as cost structure. When the Xoom came out I knew that product wouldn't sell well due to $360 in parts plus labor plus a 25% manufacturer mark-up and a 15% retailer mark-up. In contrast, the Kindle Fire cost about $180 in parts and Amazon is selling it for $199 because it is willing to accept a smaller mark-up and there is no retailer mark-up.

Maybe it's the Infuse 4G 2?

Tied to AT&T through work so I will wait for this. I'm a web surfer so this size screen is a plus, and having a stylus, palm tx time again but better. I told co-workers 4 yrs ago that if they make phone the size of the tx and a stylus id buy it in heart beat. N here we are!!!!

Att has the best 4g balance to date.they still have their hspa+ networks for fast (thin) phones and now they have 4g LTE so basically nobody can touch AT&T speedys now. Plus they get the best phones,they got the most money ,don't need 3G ,and always have the beat model of the iPhone.

Sweet Im going to get this hopefully it will get LTE added also

IDK what the fuss is all about. I have a Base model Optimus T from tmobile and i get reception everywhere in Boston. Oh, wait, that's right, Boston actually was so kind as to install relay towers in the subway and downtown areas, making the cell companies share the bill. Guess LA is just too cheap! Must be why the dodgers STILL suk!!! LMFAO, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! G'NITE!

JK, gotta give the dodgers credit, at least THEY had the sense to get out of new york before the yankees stunk up all of baseball!

I don't get it. It took Samsung almost a year after announcing the Galaxy S II before arriving stateside. This thing was announced (at most) 2 months ago and it's already passed the FCC! What gives??

Yes I am. This going to be a.massive leap for Samsung.

You know what's interesting? Dell did this almost a year ago and everyone poo poo'd the idea. I have the Streak 5 and it fits just fin in all my pockets with a 5 inch screen. Even with the otterbox case on it. It is very thin. I think that is key like someone else said.

Dell just did not market it well. I don't think they hardly marketed it at all. What's so good about it is the web surfing and watching video. It was laggey out of the box but with updates to the OS like Froyo and One guy worked a version of Honeycomb from the Streak 7 and got it to work on the 5, it was 100x better. It is now discontinued and I wish they offered something else (I have a huge credit account from them when all I wanted was a laptop for the wife)

The one down side is that it is cumbersome to one-hand operate. I can't quite get my thumb to reach the opposite corners without touching the home or back button (touch sensitive). So I am actually looking to go down to a 4.3" to 4.5" for my everyday and keep my Streak (Or get this when it comes out) for travel and camping.

Very interested in the SGSII or Infuse. I need to see how the interface is. Have to say I do miss my Sense UI from HTC even though it does eat battery.
