Samsung Plans August 29th Galaxy SII Launch in US

As you can tell, the US is poised for a Galaxy SII launch fit for the red carpet. After Samsung Mobile President Shin Jong-kyun promised a release in August, we here at TechBizz had a gut feeling that the Galaxy SII would be making its debut. Also, there is a II logo on the invite. We also have a good feeling that there will be a multiple carrier release. Check back on August 29th at techbizznewz.blogspot.com

T-mobile Galaxy SII Confirmed to Be the Hercules

The galaxy SII is arriving in the US to T-Mobile. The picture above is indeed the phone, or the back at least, but anything is good. This demi-god of a phone packs a punch that even the real Hercules would feel. This variant is similar to the original superphone, but with some improvements, or diminishing features, that anyone would want. It boasts a 4.5 inch Super AMOLED Plus screen like the Infuse 4G, but with a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and a 42Mbps HSPA+ radio on T-Mobile's 4G frequences. You will also notice that the phone has rounded corners like the Galaxy SII Within heading to Sprint. Front pictures will be added soon.

Entire Android Lineup of 2011 is Getting Gingerbread

When the HTC Status was released for its small time, it was the only Android device with Gingerbread on AT&T, but that is coming to an end. The carrier has confirmed that Android 2.3 will be released to the entire 2011 Android lineup, starting with the OTA of the Atrix 4G today and HTC Inspire 4G in the coming weeks. Samsung Captivate users will rejoice because they will be able to enjoy this massive upgrade as well. There are no details on the timing for everyone, but if you are using a 2011 model, relax, your time will come.

Gingerbread NOT Coming to SGH-T959 (USA Vibrant)?

If, you are a proud owner of the T-Mobile Vibrant, than stop. A new rumor is going around that this device is no longer being supported according to SamFirmware.com. This being a shocker due to the fact that Sammy promised Gingerbread on all SGS devices, which leads us to believe that this might not be true. There is no confirmation from Sammy, and all the other USA variants are also not mentioned. Being the most sold SGS  device in America, if this were true, then shame on Samsung for their lack of giving knowledge and time delay.
