can't confirm it at this point, but I'm hearing that there won't be *a* galaxy s ii for at&t. expect a family.

God I hope this is true. If there's only a slider, I might as well hold out for the next Nexus.

Wow, naturally AT&T had to completely ruin what should have been the perfect phone. I was planning on replacing my Captivate with a Galaxy S2 but there is no chance that will happen if it has a keyboard. I'd actually buy the much slower Infuse over this phone

Yes I don't understand why everyone hates keyboards? Even if it comes with one, no one is forcing you to use it. Last I checked the touchscreen worked just fine with the keyboard folded in.

A keyboard will more than double the thickness of the phone. It's only really useful when browsing or playing emulators.

Who cares? I don't wear super tight skinny jeans, if you can't stand an extra few cm on a phone...

That doesn't look thick at all.

it makes it thickier and heavier,

honestly the only time i use the KB on my OG Droid is when i flash a rom and have to set it up again (it forces you to use the KB) if it didnt i would never use it

I wouldn't mind a keyboard actually. I assume this is how US carriers are trying to differentiate it further from the dual-core moto phones.

It's official... I'm holding onto my iphone 4 until this comes out on ATT. It was already going to be worth waiting for, but I like the idea of a keyboard too.

I never use the keyboard on my Epic 4G at all and its basically dead weight. Much rather have a thinner phone.

Damn I might as well get an iPhone 5 now since I have waiting so long for nothing.

The phone market sucks.

Some people want keyboards, doesn't make the phone crap guys. Choice is good, you have many options for phones.

Awesome, and here I was hoping for a thicker version of the GS2. I hate how everything has to be lighter and thinner, I love a good heft.

Looks like Chris is right...
