This is the Samsung Galaxy S II. There are many like it, but AT&T customers, this one is yours. The carrier is now officially selling the phone on its website. They initially announced a September 18th release date for the much-anticipated superphone, so they’re only a little late.
The AT&T version of the phone is similar to other U.S. models, though it has a slightly smaller 4.3-inch screen when compared with the 4.5-inch version on other networks. Happily, the Galaxy S II is releasing with the latest version of Android, Gingerbread 2.3 (though that may not be the case for long) as well as Samsung’s TouchWiz 4. Other bullet points include a slim .35-inch profile, a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor, and an 8MP rear camera with 1080p recording plus a 2MP front camera. The AT&T version differs slightly in build and style from other U.S. models and the international version; read Android Community’s review to get a better look at the differences.
New customers and those qualifying for an upgrade get the subsidized $199.99 price, while everyone else needs to fork over the full price of $549.99. Online shoppers can get free standard shipping, though those looking for instant gratification may want to leg it to their local AT&T retail store later today or tomorrow see if they’re available. If you do, watch out for that lock screen security hole, and make sure you know how to fix it.

AT&T’s wireless site lists the battery as 1650mah with 3hours talk time. I can only hope for any buyer’s sake that this is a clerical mistake on AT&T’s part.
i don’t know about 3 hours of talk time, that is a mistake. The 1650 mAh rating is correct though. I have one right here
