Samsung Galaxy S2 Release Date: T-Mobile Confirms Launch Is Next Week
The Samsung Galaxy S2 on the T-Mobile network will be released next week, a T-Mobile associate confirmed to The Christian Post earlier this week.
Thus far, reports have been hazy about exactly when the Galaxy S2 would be released on the T-Mobile network. Other carriers, Sprint and AT&T have given specific dates, to the frustration of T-Mobile customers who have been left in the dark.
However, a T-Mobile associate told CP Tuesday that the Galaxy S2 will be released on its network sometime next week. But the associate was unable to give a specific date for the release or a price for the smartphone.
