So here it is, folks: AT&T is actuation forward into 4G with the declaration of a slew of Android devices. OK, so they are attractive cues from T-Mobile and only labeling their HSPA+ 4G, but be that as it haw the handsets to go along with it are quite only amazing. The Samsung Infuse 4G is added in the ontogeny distinction of Galaxy S phones touting the stylish in Sammy’s pass technology, the Super AMOLED Plus. The newborn pass gets a 50 proportionality increase in sub-pixel calculate to meliorate oppositeness and exterior visibility.

In cost of another specs, the phone holds a 1.2GHz single-core Hummingbird, an 8MP side camera and 1.3MP front-facing camera. The Super AMOLED Plus comes in at a scale-tipping 4.5-inches. The phone is designed to start with the TouchWiz programme atop Android 2.2, and presented Samsung’s story with updates it strength meet that artefact for a while.

It wouldn’t be the prototypal time, or modify the second, that someone in curb of a company’s website jumped the armament in one style or another. But, for Samsung, perhaps letting someone inform the world that devices same Sprint’s Samsung Epic 4G, and Verizon’s Samsung Fascinate as having Android 2.2 right now isn’t the smartest idea. That is, of course, unless you organisation on updating those devices right now.

Some eagle-eyed tipsters managed to attending that Samsung has officially traded devices same the same handsets, nonnegative the Samsung Vibrant on T-Mobile’s network, as having Android 2.2. Of course, if you hit one of those handsets, you’ll no uncertainty already undergo that you don’t hit that edition of Google’s ambulatory Operating System. Not officially, anyway. But, you’re belike substantially alive that places same Europe, and modify Canada, do indeed hit those portion updates.

What’s strange, though, are the inconsistencies. For example, AT&T’s Galaxy S device, the Captivate, is traded as having Android 2.1. Additionally, the Samsung Fascinate which meet launched on Verizon, is also traded as having exclusive Android 2.1. Does that stingy that these digit handsets won’t be effort the update to 2.2? And, if that’s the case, why is that the case? Hopefully Samsung has something to foretell to every the US-based owners of their devices, for apiece network, rather than later.

[Update] Thanks to commenter, Doug, we’ve been told that Samsung has updated their creation page site, and denaturized the devices backwards to 2.1. So, looks same someone did meet attain a mistake, and this isn’t a clew into the future. At least, not the foreseeable future, anyway. At small we undergo it’s reaching eventually, right?
