T-Mobile announced a pair of handsets today capable of supporting their growing HSPA+ 42Mbps network, tapping them both with an October 12th arrival. One you already know about – the HTC Amaze 4G. Â The other? Â Well you already knew about it as well. Â After moths of anticipation, the Samsung Galaxy S II hits T-Mobile in but a few short weeks.
We’re really digging the final specifications for T-Mobile’s version which include a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 Processor, Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread and NFC support.  Mix in Samsung’s Media Hub, YouTube, and T-Mobile TV as well as DLNA compatibility and HDMI output and you can see why movie and television fans would be all over this. Â
The Samsung Galaxy S II arrives in T-Mobile stores on October 12th with a $229.99 price tag, after a $50 mail-in-rebate card with a two-year service agreement. Â Like they did with the Amaze 4G, T-Mobile says you gotta pay for them Mbp’s.
If only samsung’s galaxy phones didn’t have crappy hardware (See GPS issues on most of the Galaxy line) I would be somewhat excited. I’ll likely try the HTC Amaze out of these two phones.
Then maybe you should buy an actual GPS device.
I have an actual GPS device, however having to keep two devices on my person because Samsung gives people defective products is not acceptable.
I need that galaxy s II. Put this nexus s to rest.
This is great news but what will be the actual throughput? Â Hoping that they open it up more as my Sensation is only getting about 5MB no where near its capability. Â With that said, it currently suits my needs, just want the bragging rights over those my counterparts on Verizon and AT&T.
