Samsung Epic 4G Touch Reviewed
The original Samsung Epic 4G was somewhat of a disappointment for customers, while others delighted in the changes it had from the original Galaxy S. The glaring difference was the inclusion of a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, which is definitely a polarizing addition. The Epic 4G Touch is the follow up and the first U.S. release of the Galaxy S 2, and this time, it's not bringing a physical QWERTY keyboard with it.

It looks like TmoNews has gotten a bit of unofficial confirmation that the Samsung Hercules that has been long rumored to be T-Mobile's super powered Samsung handset is, in fact, their variant of the Samsung Galaxy S2. The Hercules is set to have a 4.5 inch display, like the Samsung Infuse, and access to T-Mobile's 4G HSPA+ network, allowing up to 42 Mbps. It's also rumored to feature dual core, 1.2 GHz processors which is good news for folks looking for a faster operating system.

Sprint Galaxy S2 Set for 4G
The Sprint edition of the Samsung Galaxy S2
, dubbed the Samsung Within, has passed through the FCC and it looks to have WiMAX functionality, meaning it will be a 4G powerhouse. This is good news for the Galaxy S2, and it might actually be a good thing that the Galaxy S2 had a delayed release in the States. If the Within is a 4G smartphone, there's no doubt that the other versions for the other U.S. carriers will also be 4G enabled.
Samsung Galaxy S2 Hits 5M
Samsung has announced that in 85 days, they have sold 5 million units of the Samsung Galaxy S2
, and that's not including the United States! With the rumor that August will be the month that the Galaxy S2 arrives in the States, one has to wonder how much more they'll be able to sell.
Samsung has released the map above to show what countries the Galaxy S2 has hit. Samsung has done an amazing job with the global release of the Galaxy S2 and with the U.S. release on the horizon, Samsung is expecting to hit 10 million.

Samsung Galaxy S2 - US Release in August!
It's been reported by the Yonhap News that Shin Jong-kyun, president of Samsung's mobile business and digital imaging, announced that the Galaxy S2
will be released in the U.S. next month!
It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S2
will finally make its debut in the U.S., though the variants have yet to be announced. It's interesting to note that the August release date is somewhere around the same timeframe that Apple is rumored to release the iPhone 5. Seems like August is going to be heavily competitive month for smartphones!

CyanogenMod 7 Nightly - Samsung Galaxy S2
It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S2
can now be added to the list of Samsung manufactured Android handsets that will have CyanogenMod 7 builds on the Galaxy S2. These aren't Release Candidate (RC) releases, so there is a chance that certain functionality won't work with the build. Though, if you do have the Galaxy S2 and just cannot wait to get CyanogenMod 7, this is your chance!

Gingerbread for Samsung Galaxy S!
Rejoice T-Mobile UK subscribers, for Gingerbread has arrived for the Samsung Galaxy S, at least according to their forum announcement. It looks
like Samsung is keeping their promise regarding continued support around the Galaxy S device, and hopefully this means folks across the ocean will also start seeing their updates as well. The Froyo update took longer than expected and Gingerbread actually feels like it's come about sooner. Unfortunately it hasn't been announced on whether it's over the air or if Samsung Kies software is required. Judging by the fact that the post is just a very simple post, one can only surmise that it is an over the air update.
HTC Sensation vs. Samsung Galaxy S2
Both the HTC Sensation and the Samsung Galaxy S2 are extremely powerful smartphones, but which one's better? This comparative review looks at the design, display, performance, user interface, and features of the two smartphones and lists out which smartphone is better. Check out the HTC Sensation vs. Samsung Galaxy S2 comparison.
Samsung Galaxy S2 Available Through Bell
It looks like Canada is now among the list of countries that will have the Samsung Galaxy S2
available in their line up of smartphones, through Bell. The current rumored release date is July 21st. While originally rumored to be released on the 14th, it seems this week delay is to ensure that Bell has enough Galaxy S2 smartphones in their inventory before they release it to the market. A wise plan.
Samsung Hercules on T-Mobile in Late September?
The heavily rumored powerhouse smartphone from Samsung, the Samsung Hercules is rumored to be released in late September through T-Mobile USA. Rumors are swirling on whether the Hercules will be a T-Mobile branded Samsung Galaxy S2
or if it will be a rebranded Samsung Infuse
. If it's the former, T-Mobile will once again be the first major U.S. carrier to release the Galaxy S series smartphone. If it's the latter, the Hercules may end up being a disappointment for most folks.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Review
The Samsung Galaxy S2
has been one of the most highly anticipated smartphones to be released. Samsung was originally known as a decent, Korean electronics company that also released smartphones. It wasn't until the Samsung Galaxy S came out that Samsung truly began their domination of the smartphone market. Now, the Galaxy S2 looks to take on the throne.

HTC EVO 3D vs. Samsung Galaxy S2
Samsung Galaxy S2 Available on Telstra
It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S2 will be making its landing into Australia through the carrier Telstra on July 26th. While the smartphone has already been released in Korea, Europe and India, this target date of July 26th will be its first entry into Australia. Looks like the global domination of the Samsung Galaxy S2 continues! Hopefully the U.S. market is coming up soon!
Samsung - Facing U.S. Troubles
It's been over two months since the Samsung Galaxy S2
was released in its native home of Korea and Europe but it still has to make a landing in the U.S. The biggest question is, why? Why is it taking so long for the Samsung Galaxy S2 to arrive to the United States. They've already seemingly given each version of the Galaxy S2 a brand for each U.S. carrier and yet the phone still seems to be far from within reach. Read more after the break.

Windows Galaxy?
Rumors are abound that the Samsung Galaxy S
series will have a counterpart with Windows Phone 7 preloaded rather than Android. If this true, Samsung is walking down quite the slippery path. By expanding into Windows Phone 7, they are finding a new opportunity for expansion, but at the same time, they're having their own product compete against itself. With the Samsung Galaxy S2
hitting 3 million sales, half of which was domestic in Korea, they've taken over quite the market. Releasing a variant of the Galaxy that has Windows Phone 7 may harm their way towards global market domination.
In addition, Windows Phone 7 market share is on the decline already, and one has to wonder if it's worth it for Samsung to even try aiming at this already dying market. While the operating system is innovative, sleek and clean, it's a few years too late into the market. Samsung could shine in Microsoft's eyes if they can grab a market share, but at the same time, they could just be blowing money away.
