In this super compeitive smartphone handset market, Samsung isn't lagging behind at all, one of it's darlings, the Samsung Galaxy S will be released to all major carriers next month.  As you probably already know the Samsung Galaxy S is definitely capable of matching the specs of the HTC Evo 4G.  It also doesn't have the hardware keyboard, a weekness in some people's eyes.

But Samsung isn't going to disappoint folks who love the specs of the Samsung Galaxy S but wanted a hardware qwerty keyboard, the Samsung Galaxy S Pro does exactly that. Here are the features.

• * Android 2.1, seemingly with TouchWiz UI 3.0
  
• * WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
  
• * EVDO Rev A / WiMax
  
• * VGA front-facing camera
  
• * 5MP camera on the back, with "1X optical zoom" (this sounds fishy)
  
• * HD video recording
  
• * 1 GHz Samsung processor
  
• * 512MB of RAM
  
• * 8GB of internal memory
  
• * SIM card slot (if this is true, the Galaxy S Pro is a global smartphone, so it should also have EDGE/HSDPA connectivity)

The Name Samsung Vibrant is Official and confirmed, the Vibrant is powered by Android 2.1, the smartphone boasts a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a 1GHz processor , a 5-megapixel camera with HD video capture and is the first phone with Samsung's new Smart Life user interface.

Other features include FM radio, Bluetooth 3.0 digital compass, WiFi b/n, GPS, 16GB of memory and microSD card slot.

cellphonesignal.com said T-Mobile will launch the Samsung Vibrant / Galaxy S on July 23. We will probably hear some official announcements then.

To confuse you a little more, AT&T will be calling their Galaxy S the Captivate.

This is considered pretty good success for Samsung, even though we all heard by now that Apple had sold more than 1.7 million iPhone 4s in just 3 days.  But considering most of the 1.7 million iPhone 4s are from existing ATT customers who went for an upgrade, and that Samsung Galaxy S were only sold in South Korea for that 6 days.  I will definitely give Samsung a high five for its launch success.

According to Samsung Hub, Samsung is riding high on the success of Galaxy S, at least in its home market. SK Telecom who is the official carrier of the phone has announced that Galaxy S has surpassed 100,000 units. The sales figure takes into account from its release on June 24 till June 29 i.e. today till 2PM.

As you probably already know, Samsung Galaxy S will be released later this month to all 4 major carriers in the United States, even though each carrier will have a modified version of Galaxy S with it's only fancy names, it still counted as a Galaxy S in my world.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has hit Germany with pre-orders at Amazon.de in 16GB black and white flavors, priced at 637 euros together with the product page going live at Samsung Germany with specs - although it leaves out the processor just naming it a dual core 1GHz processor but we're seeing increasing evidence it's Tegra 2, at least for the Wi-Fi models. Other specs are known already. No ETA mentioned.

Earlier this week we spotted the Galaxy Tab 10.1 up for pre-order at J&R.com (priced at $499 for 16GB and $599 for 32GB) however they took down the listings once information of this hit the bigger tech sites. A couple of individuals who ordered on the XDA Developers Forums have been informed they don't know when they anticipate it to arrive yet although they estimated a late June release.

According to the DailyFinance, Samsung Electronics said it has shipped 3 million of its Galaxy S smartphone to the U.S., out of 7 million worldwide.

The models including Samsung Captivate (ATT), Samsung Epic 4G (Sprint), and Samsung Fascinate (Verizon).

Supply of the phones, which run on Google's (GOOG) Android software, has been constrained by the Samsung AMOLED display technology, Chief Marketing Officer Paul Golden told Reuters. The phone went on sale in the U.S. in July.

"We're in a situation where we wish we had more supply," Golden said, who added that Samsung is working to boost AMOLED production.

Sales of the Apple (AAPL) iPhone still dwarf those of the Galaxy S. Apple sold more than 3 million units of its iPhone 4 in three weeks.

Phones 4u has announced that it'll be the first UK retailer to offer the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and has revealed its pricing for the Android 4.0 smartphone, the first smart phone that will offer Ice Cream Sandwish android OS.

But don't go getting too excited, because it looks like chances are you'll must win a small lottery to have the ability to afford it. A free Galaxy Nexus will set you back 46 euros per month on a 2 year contract - dearer that Phone4u's cheapest iPhone 4S tariff. Nonetheless, cough up £29.95 and you'll be granted a a lot-extra cheap - albeit still costly - 24 month £41 contract.

Scott Hooton, Buying and selling Director at Phone4u stated: "The GALAXY Nexus combines the full Google experience with Samsung's superior smartphone performance, and tops it off with the most recent and most innovative Android platform yet. After Android was voted the UK's most most well-liked operating system in a Phones 4u ballot this 12 months, we all know our clients have been just as excited about the launch of the primary Android 4.0Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone as we have."

"We're confident the GALAXY Nexus will more than dwell up to expectations and are pleased to be the first UK unbiased mobile retailer to place the GALAXY Nexus into Android followers' hands."

As soon as released, sooner or later in November, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus may even be obtainable on Three and Vodafone.

On a side note: Clove is currently accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Nexus, and asks £514.80 (about €588 or $814) for the unlocked 16GB version. Yes, that is a high price, but let's keep in mind that this is likely the best Android handset ever.

He confirmed that the Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab models would receive official Android 4.0 updates. It said both Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note would receive Frozen goodies Sandwich updates inside the first quarter of 2012, with updates for other smartphone and tablet devices following just after.Rumours also circulated at the end of last year that Samsung was working on delivering an Android "Value Pack" for the Galaxy S, after previously praoclaiming that the Galaxy S and original Galaxy Tab wouldn't support the new firmware. We were holding dealt a blow when the company informed The Next Web there have been no plans for therelease.

Samsung has not yet officially confirmed the discharge date so that it stays firmly as a rumour, but when it is correct then Ice Cream Sandwich is under 3 weeks far from making its way to your handset.

So, if you own unbranded versions of the Galaxy S II without the subsidy of a network have had a frustrating time, cause Three, Vodafone and O2 network users somehow ended up getting the Android 4.0 update first. And that's not how it usually works.

But now it's time for unbranded models to receive the update, with Samsung UK confired that the Android 4.0 is now out for the "XEU" versions of the Galaxy S II to enjoy. Here's Samsung's statement...

"Samsung UK has been working hard over the last few weeks to get Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) rolled out to all our Galaxy S II customers.So, we can confirm that ‘XEU/sim-free' and all network upgrades are now complete except for Orange and T-Mobile which will follow as soon as possible, pending software testing and approvals. Thanks again for your patience."

It also tell us that it will arrive soon for Orange and T-Mobile users as well.

And world gonna be at peace once again. Until this time next year, when the S III owners gonna be mad about not having Android 5.0. And so the wheel turns, as it ever did.
