I know everyone here in the US has been waiting on what feels like ages for the Galaxy S II to finally arrive, but it appears we all have to wait a few short hours longer. Don't worry the event is only a day later but today Samsung has confirmed with us that the Galaxy S II US Launch Event that was talking place this Monday, August 29th is being rescheduled because of Hurricane Irene.

This is a bit depressing, in some sad news new details are coming out regarding the upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone. With the official US launch on the 29th new details are claiming that the biggest carrier here in the US, Verizon Wireless, will in fact NOT be carrying the Galaxy S II phone at all. This is according to the Wall Street Journal and then confirmed by Verizon spokesperson Brenda Raney.

In a manner extremely similar to what we saw just about a week ago (then quickly limited in scope), Apple has successfully worked with Dutch courts in The Hague to, starting today, issue a preliminary injunction against three Samsung devices: the Galaxy S II, Galaxy Ace, and Galaxy S. This injunction, just like the last, due to EU law, bans the devices from sale across the entire European Union. This injunction does not include the Galaxy Tab 10.1, though with a case going on in Germany at the same time, Apple may be choosing case locations where they'll be most effective.

The folks at Samsung have released a brand new advertisement for the Samsung Galaxy S II, aka one of the best selling phones in history, showing it off in several places in the world ending up letting us know that it's coming to the USA soon! It's big in Europe, it's big in Asia, it's big all over the world they say, "and soon it will be big in America." Is this again some indication that the Samsung Unpacked at IFA 2011 trailers were indeed speaking about something having to do with the Samsung Galaxy S II or an upgrade? We shall see!

The big event in Berlin is soon approaching, IFA 2011 for all your tech desires - and Samsung is gonna be there with something big! What we've seen so far is one leaked trailer for this "Unpacked II" event, it inspiring quite a few guesses surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S II and what new version this Unpacked might reveal. Of course there's no guarantee that we know what they'll be revealing at all at the moment, especially since this Unpacked doesn't have quite as obvious a tagline as the one we attended at CTIA 2011 which was "What's your Tab Life?"

We've gotten our first peek at what may well be the next generation Samsung Galaxy S II, or at least the idea of it, in a short 30 second teaser trailer for IFA 2011. This trailer is at the moment no longer available for public viewing (and will probably remain this way until we get a bit closer to the actual Berlin event,) but based on what we've seen, IFA 2011 is sure to have an "Unpacked" event that'll reveal some sort of newness in the smartphone-holding hands of citizens in the form of bright lights. This advertisement took the form of the handheld torches sort of look we've been treated to in the past when the Galaxy S II was first teased, this new ad revealing not just a whole heck of a lot of additional info on the subject.

In case you missed it last week we saw a glimpse of a Samsung Galaxy S II with 4G LTE codenamed the Samsung Celox over in Korea. Today we are getting an actual real world look at the device because apparently it's out in the wild running on those 4G LTE speeds. This is what many think will be what we will see land on Verizon shortly, just like what we saw recently for T-Mobile.

Samsung SGH-i927 Slips through FCC. Just in Time for August 29th Announcement?

By John Scheible

Today must have been a productive day for the FCC. Samsung's SGH-i927 just got approval today with AT&T HSPA+ radios on board. The first time we saw the SGH-i927, we thought it might be a keyboard bearing version of the Samsung Galaxy S II. Since the Galaxy S II Attain has already been cleared by the FCC so AT&T might end up with two Galaxy S II's after all.
