Regarding ATT and the iPhone....doesn't really matter to me. The S2 is the only thing that will keep me and my 6 lines with ATT. If the iPhone5 comes out first, I won't be upgrading to it on ATT. I will be going to Verizon for the iPhone5 launch.

Well I just tried to call 611 to get some info about closing my account, the att group that deals with it is closed today. Basically if I do NOT get a confirmed date tomorrow and HAVE the device available in Q3 then I too am gonna pay off to get my 4 lines canceled. This fiasco with the SGS2 is just the last straw for me. I have been with att since before when it was still Cingular. My real frustration started with how att handled the SGS1 Captivate getting the froyo release MONTHS LATER than it should have, and NOW still waiting on an official Gingerbread. If it wasn't for the Captivate Dev community where I was able to get froyo months before ATT put it out and have been on Gingerbread for many months now due to leaks I would have been upset a LONG TIME AGO. So this is the last straw. Sprint is looking better all the time. The ONLY other thing that has kept me here with att is my grandfathered in unlimited data plan for my ohone but my wifes phone i had to do the 2Gb plan and the two dumb phone plans for my kids. So enough is enough if i do NOT have some concrete word for when it will be released and October WON'T cut it. If it is more than $500 to get out of my contract i will then buy the international sgs2 and keep with att until i can get off contract fre and clear. This to me is such a dissapointment on att

Brothers & Sisters!!! ((((big hug))))))) At long last, i've found y'all... I thought i was the ONLY nut who's world feels like it will be off its axis UNTIL i get this freakin' phone in my hand...lol
I have contemplated Sprints version of this phone AT LEAST a million times since i went to see it on Friday (and mind you, i AM already with Sprint, but will be moving to AT&T just to have the smaller version of the SGS II with the NFC chip : )
But that phone is just a tad too big. Its like, with the screen off, ur like, um, its just too big. Then u turn the screen ON, and ur like, "i can live with it"... BUT i'd rather have a phone that i was happy with when its BOTH on and off, yanno?
Anyway, i wouldn't say i am AS disappointed as some of y'all, cuz my hopes started to dim when no word AT ALL came out over the past couple of days.
What i understand MORE than any of the people who say, "oh get over it, go to a diff carrier, get a diff phone, is that THIS phone is the ONLY phone out (well, not "out" but very "imminent") that has it ALL.
I have checked out EVERY single phone that is available now, one of the worst things i am finding is that of the few contenders i MIGHT have been swayed by are just too long & skinny (Sensation, EVO 3D) or too ridiculously priced (Bionic) or screen a tad too small (T-Mobile GX2 ) (beautiful phone btw) so "no", right now AT&T's version is the ONLY phone that "answers the call" so to speak : ) Perfect size, (not long & thin with that quirky qHD resolution on so many others), killer camera (even FFC's 2 MP is best available right now) killer specs, not even ONE negative thing about it (and i had its predecessor for a year "The Vibrant" so i KNOW this phone well : )
Luckily, soon, we will have many dual core, high res, quality screened, high internal RAM/Mem etc to choose from, but RIGHT now at this point in time, we are "on the cusp of a technology tilt" and AT&T's version of the SGS is the ONLY phone that answers preactically EVERY cell phone need we all have at this time all in one little perfect pkg. (Don't let me catch even ONE of you griping about it ONCE it gets here, neither... lol j/k
Seriously, I totally disagree with all those ppl that say, "if u keep waiting for the next best phone you'll never be happy, blah blah blah"...cuz there is a huge difference between a phone coming out that has a feature or two you'd LIKE to have (but its not going to kill you) and a phone coming out that doubles the performance, screen quality, memory and size of a phone you DO have.
So here's to the next wave of phones that are due out, i think the mfgs are finally getting the msg we don't want to be "hobbled at the knees" when it comes to our technology, and it looks like if we can be patient thru the next few months, we will no longer have to sit around wasting days, weeks, even months on the brink of our chairs waiting for the next great phone... (well MAYBE a couple of us ALWAYS will, but ...lol) becuz the phones will be out "waiting for us consumers to purchase them, and NOT the other way around....Raise a glass : )

i agree with you spidermonkey2484, i also would switch to verizon in a heartbeat. the only reason i stay wit at&t is the plan i have is not available anywhere else. my monthly bill is only $90 & i have everything unlimited except minutes, and even that i have so many rollover sotcked up id never use them all. this is absolutely rediculous. if i didnt have such a sour taste in my mouth behind sprint from my experience with them years ago id go to them too. they def have the market cornered for having it released today.

I registered to say that I too am desparately awaiting this phone. I really don't understand why it hasn't been at least announced a released date yet.
I went to an ATT store, asked them about the phone, and I don't even think they had ever heard of this.
It's really frustrating.

Don't bother signing up on the "notify me" page for this phone, you will never be notified. I signed up on a similar page for the Samsung Infuse which was released what, two months ago give or take, and I have yet to receive an email notifying me of the release.
I don't understand a company stringing their customers along when this could be a huge event for them and the dollars would flow. AT&T has the worst marketing department in corporate America. They publish flashy ads with no usefull information.
Good thing I'm not CEO at AT&T, I would fire the entire upper management in the marketing division.

worst debacle in cell phone history. I can't believe they never sent an email for the Infuse. Your so right, At&t's marketing division needs an overhaul.

There is no real confirmed release date... We'll just have to wait til they actually release it.

One thing that disappoints me about the Galaxy S II is the lack of a physical camera button. When I first got my original Captivate Galaxy S, I had assumed that it had a physical button like my other Samsung "dumbphone" did. Much to my surprise, it did not have one. This is a feature I had hoped the next generation Galaxy S would have. Oh, well...

I've been checking this blog for the last week and quite often the last couple days. There has only been one or two guys that get a little out of control. Its true we are all venting the same thing. However we are correct in what we are complaining about. ATT has ignored our complaints so you might as well ignore this blog. We are just venting. And there has been some good info come out from time to time. When we stop checking or commenting on this blog that means we got the phone somewhere else and don't care anymore.

NP.
I want this phone so bad as well and we all know (at least I think so) this phone is going to be perfect in term of size, performance and style. I guess we're just a little too eager to own it, play with it. Afterall, worth the wait....

I have a story! One day, Randall Stephenson, Steve Jobs, and a Samsung representative are all sitting down having a nice lovely lunch chat. The Samsung representative was wondering when AT&T was going to release their version of the Galaxy S2... since they have had it ready for the past couple of months. Randall Stephenson was about to assure the Samsung representative that the Galaxy S2 was being released on Sunday, September 18th, when all of a sudden he felt a soft papery substance being rubbed up against his leg, seemingly from Steve Jobs. Randall quickly pocketed the bills and went on to tell the Samsung representative that he had a feeling that the Galaxy S2 might be ready to release this weekend, however a problem may surface. Once the Samsung representative had left, Jobs made it clear that the Galaxy S2 needs to come out as near to the Iphone 5 as possible, or he threatened to remove AT&T's right to sell the Iphone 5.
I think that AT&T and Apple might have some sort of deal to try and convert loyal Galaxy S2 lovers into Iphone 5 lovers. We mustn't leave AT&T!! We must help them fight against Apple's tyranny and see the light of the one true greatest OS: ANDROID!!

Life on this forum:
1. A new phone announced.
2. Everyone thinks its the best thing since the sliced bread and can't wait and want it NOW.
3. The phone eventually released. Everyone joy for a day or two.
4. Complaints start to flow in. There are bugs here and there. Most think this is a biggest junk ever released. They blame AT&T for not catching these bugs before release (remember those are same ppl who blame AT&T takes so long to release the phone in the first place).
5. Then the long waiting for next firmware updates. Anguish and complaints blow up the various threads(check the Infuse 2.3 thread
for the current post child).
Repeat steps 1 through 5.......

I just sent a PM to jamileh asking if there is a tentative release date. I know it isnt' her fault that this debacle is happening but it would be nice to have an at&t employee raise some concern to the people that do make decisions, perhaps letting them know that dozens on this forum and by extension most likely thousands of other premium(high level voice/data plans) customers are getting to the online equivelent of rioting over the information blackout and apparent apathy by a company we generally pay $80+ to every single month regarding something important to our continued patronage.
Perhaps this is how they intend to alleviate the congested network concerns they like to bring up at every opportunity...

Foxbat121.... Wouldn't these bugs be worked out already seeing as how 5 million of these phones have been in use for the last 3 or 4 months?

That's not how Samsung works. They fix old bugs while introduce new ones. There is no guarantee that newer firmware is better than the old ones. There are plenty of examples of that already.
Besides, Google itself keeps update/bug fix the Android OS. Everytime Google releases a new reveision, it takes quite sometimes before Samsung can pack the new Android into the new firmware. When S2 was first released, it was on an early build of Gingerbread 2.3. Now the latest Gingerbread release is 2.3.6 and most S2 variants are on 2.3.3. If the sole review on ubergizmo.com is to be believed, AT&T S2 will be on 2.3.4 which is quite new even for Internation versions. And there are some major bugs in Android itself in various revisions from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 as well.
Remember our Captivate was released a few months after international release of Galaxy S1 and not only it still inherits the infamous GPS hardware bug, it also suffers its own unique bug (random shutdown) and AT&T has to silently recall the phones released before Nov, 2010.
Just hope AT&T version of GS2 didn't suffer the same fate but knowing Samsung, it will happen for sure.
