Verizon's Twitter support account just confirmed to skeptical Verizon
customer @sparty569 that
the Samsung Galaxy S II coming to Verizon won't be skimping on the Gs.
The Galaxy S II hardware has been universally salivated over and
obviously is absolutely killing it
in sales around the globe. We knew after Sprint's Galaxy S II (the
Within, seriously?) passed
through the FCC recently that it would come bearing WiMax support. So,
it's not surprising–but
certainly a relief–to hear Verizon is following suit with LTE. As a
quick refresher the Galaxy S II is coming stateside next month, but we
aren't 100% certain
which carrier is getting it first or if it will launch simultaneously
on Sprint, Verizon, AT&T and/or T-
Mobile. We can be quite certain that, within the next 60 days, Verizon
customers are going to have the
Droid Bionic and the Galaxy S II sitting on the counter right next to
each other vying for their
attention. Which of these dual-core 4G LTE phones would you take home
with you? Update: Well that was short-lived. @VZWSupport has clarified
they were speaking of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G (almost the same
thing, right?) and that they have nothing to say about the
Galaxy S II at the moment. This certainly takes the wind out of the
sails, but at least they didn't
say that it definitely is not 4G. Hope springs eternal.
