Ever since the first Samsung Galaxy S smartphone specific for each of the big 4 (plus US Cellular) came and until now, there have been no word or nothing at all that is known when the Android 2.2 Froyo update for these handsets are going to come.

Samsung announced 5 Million Galaxy S smartphones sold

Samsung Galaxy S i9000 - International Galaxy S

During the announcement of Sammy that the Galaxy S will be made available in Japan, they also announced that their Galaxy S line of smartphones have passed the 5 Million mark of sales worldwide. You might ask, why did Japan, as technologically advanced the country is, seems to be late with the phones launching there? Well, I guess its because of the language barrier, Sammy have to edit the OS that will suit to Japan's major language, right?

September 8th is the day when all the Galaxy S-es will sell together - Launch of the Samsung Fascinate

Last, yes last. The Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate for Verizon will be launched on September 8th. I'm sorry I did not post about the Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G launched today over at Sprint. Since the two other Galaxy S-es are already selling over at AT&T and T-Mobile, the Samsung Captivate and Vibrant respectively, this means that on September 8th all, yes all, Galaxy S will be available to US consumers. That's the time that Samsung should be expecting more and more customers asking for their smartphones and start to see an increase in Galaxy S sales increase.

The Captivate and the Vibrant are already selling like hotcakes, with 1 Million of them shipped. The Epic 4G's, Sprint's second 4G phone along side the HTC Evo 4G, and the Fascinate's addition in completion of the whole Galaxy S line's complete availability will really make Samsung a busy mobile phone provider in the US. Anyway, as what I have said all the Galaxy S-es will feature the same features and since I have posted a lot of blogs about their specifications I don't want to utter them again. But will glue a photo that shows the specs of the Samsung Fascinate.

Samsung, the phone brand I love, has announced the success of their Galaxy S line. Samsung Mobile USA announced that they had shipped 1 Million Galaxy S-es in the US alone. The photo you see above are the 2 Galaxy S-es that are currently available in the US and are with AT&T and T-Mobile. The Samsung Vibrant goes along with T-Mobile and The Samsung Captivate goes with AT&T. All of the Galaxy S-es carried the same features and specifications, its just the design that differed. So 1 Million shipped, 1 Million sold in 45 days and take note that of the four only two are currently available. Expect more shipments Samsung, "The number mobile phone provider in the US".

The other two Galaxy S-es are still coming into US shores soon. Verizon's Samsung Fascinate and Sprint's Samsung Epic 4G. The most unique between them four is the Epic 4G, of course with 4G capability, it should be unique. Its the only Galaxy S that features a slide out full QWERTY keyboard, giving Sprint customers a third way to type in texts. I'll say this again all of the Galaxy S-es features the same specifications like 1GHz Hummingbird Processor. Android 2.1 which is upgradeable to Android 2.2. Of course, I will never forget it also features Samsung's only technology, a Samsung Super AMOLED touch screen display that is a 4 incher.
