Samsung Galaxy S2 Delayed on AT&T, Waiting on iPhone 5?

Samsung Galaxy S2 remains coming soon with its price tag yet to be revealed. Some customers are angry at the postponed release of the smartphone, which was proposed for a Sept. 18 release.

While Sprint customers can enjoy their version of Galaxy S2, the Epic 4G Touch released on Friday, many AT&T users are waiting for the device.

New rumors speculate that the release date of Galaxy S2 may wait until after Apple's iPhone 5 rolls out.

Angry customers hungry for the highly anticipated smartphone may abandon AT&T for Sprint. Indeed, a comment posted on Betanews responding to the non-event of Samsung Galaxy S2 release confirms it:

I have jumped ship from ATT to Sprint. I am tired of being told 'no release date yet' by AT&T reps, said Eric Echter.

To be honest, the family plan I have now from Sprint far exceeds what AT&T can offer. On top of that, I got $250 credit for port-ins from AT&T (available through Oct 1). Sprint actually seems to care about my business also!! Loving the Galaxy S II (Epic Touch 4 G) on my new Sprint package!!

It's a shame for AT&T to lose its customers by failing to meet their urgent greed for a phone. But the carrier is expected to offer the first GSM Samsung Galaxy S2 variant.

AT&T prides their Samsung Galaxy S2 to be the thinnest smartphone by Samsung, measuring only 9mm thickness, while Sprint's Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch comes with a larger screen, 4.52 inch, and measures 10mm.

The AT&T version, which retains 4.3-inch display, is expected to feature 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm and weighs 116 g.

Galaxy S2 runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS and sports Samsung's TouchWiz UI. The device sports an 8 MP rear camera with flash and can record HD video in 1080p, offering the richest video content on a smartphone. The phone also has the front-facing 2 MP camera for video chat.

It is powered by a dual-core 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 Mali-400MP GPU Orion chipset. The phone comes in 16/32GB internal memory configuration with 1GB RAM.
