We have previously reported on a supposed version from AT&amp;T. We also discussed that one analyst believes Verizon will get the super phone first. Now, it looks like T-Mobile&rsquo;s version of the Galaxy S II has posed for some photos."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/adt/auto/1313599848.usr309.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>If you've been waiting for the Galaxy S II it looks like next month you may be able to get it from T-Mobile.&nbsp; It's interesting that there may be differences in the CPU/GPU and display type depending on the country.&nbsp; It looks like the US may be getting the Tegra 2 version with a Super Clear LCD.&nbsp; Some countries will get a Samsung CPU/GPU with a Super AMOLED Plus display.&nbsp; The Tegra 2 version could have the Super AMOLED Plus display as well.&nbsp; Check out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_S_II" target="_blank">the Wikipedia article</a> for more info.&nbsp; Either way it sounds like a great 1.2GHz dual-core CPU/GPU, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a MicroSDHC card slot and an 8MP rear camera that can record up to 1080p video.&nbsp; It's also apparently the thinnest start phone other than some NEC model only available in Japan.&nbsp; Would the fact that it only has a 480x800 display be a deal breaker for you?&nbsp; Would Samsung's past track record of slow OS update releases scare you away?&nbsp; Let us know your thoughts!</p>
