Samsung Experience Event: Live Coverage
Of course, most of us expect the new devices to be the U.S. versions of the Samsung GALAXY S II. Most probably, we'll be treated to three phones in the form of the AT&T Attain, Sprint Within and T-Mobile Hercules, now that the Verizon Function is officially out of the game. But who knows, Samsung might even surprise us with a totally new product for Big Red! Here's for hoping!
The event is scheduled to start at 6:00PM ET | 5PM CT | 3PM PT. You can follow our live updates here, as well as through our Twitter account!
