We first announced the arrival of the Galaxy S 4G at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Now, the specs on the Galaxy S 4G have been sparse. Speculation has been swirling and all we could really gather was that the smartphone would be Android 2.2. Fortunately, last night T-Mobile contacted me and gave me some great information on the Galaxy S specs and release.
The Samsung Galaxy S 4G is expected to be available to T-Mobile customers in February. You can visit the official site to get more information -- http://galaxy-s.t-mobile.com/4G.
