Samsung Galaxy S II finally announced for US, due out mid-September

The Galaxy S II is officially coming to the US, and will launch on three of the four major carriers. Let's break it down. First, we'll take a look at the official specs that should be the same across carriers, then get into the carrier specific variations.
