HTC Sensation and Galaxy S II for T-Mobile get special deals at Costco

Costco has some nice deals coming if you are you are looking to get into a T-Mobile plan. $69.99 will get you unlimited data, talk and text with a bunch free additional features added to that list as well such as T-Mobile TV, games and magazines. The image shows available for select devices but we're told it is for the HTC Sensation and the Samsung Galaxy S II.

Apparently, many people have been asking Samsung about the Galaxy S II. Today, the electronics giant got back to its fans through its Facebook page with a somewhat accurate launch date.

Android

In other words, you can expect the Galaxy S II to officially launch in the next two weeks. Once the phone it’s launched, Samsung will begin the roll-out to different markets. We can probably expect the Galaxy S II to be available for every single carrier, like its popular predecessor is. Here’s a list of the Galaxy S II’s specifications to refresh your memory:

• 4.3″ Super AMOLED Plus, 480 x 800 pixels screen
• Android 2.3 Gingerbread
• Dual-core XMM6260 CPU running at 1.2 GHz
• 1024 MB RAM, 16GB/32GB ROM
• 8MP camera with Auto-focus and LED Flash + 2MP Front-camera
• 1650 mAh battery
• Built-in gyroscope

Looking at the specs on this phone, I have no doubt this phone will turn into another huge success for Samsung. Kudos, Sammy.
