Samsung Galaxy S 4G Gets Priced, Dated for $150 on February 23

Samsung’s line up of Galaxy S devices have been some of the most popular Android powered phones on the market. Of course, as with any piece of hardware, the Galaxy S had its fare share of user gripes including the infamously delayed Android ‘Froyo’ 2.2 update. Another thing that the Galaxy S lacked is built-in 4G connectivity. Luckily, it’s been known for some time that the company would come forth to announce the Samsung Galaxy S 4G which they have but without a price point or release date.

Luckily, T-Mobile has just let us know that we will be able to get our hands on the Samsung Galaxy S 4G come February 23 with a $150 price tag on 2-year year contract. If youo’re wondering what’s different about this phone from the Vibrant – not much, besides 4G built-in and a front-facing camera. That’s right, you won’t be getting the boost to Android ‘Gingerbread’ 2.3 (or 2.4) just because it’s a new device – you’ll still be running Froyo out of the box.

Press release below.
