Once again, TalkAndroid has been tipped off by some people at Sprint for some goodies. You heard the rumor hear first folks, the Sprint release date of the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S2.

While it’s generally assumed that the S2 will be released in July, Samsung (nor any carrier) has confirmed an actual release date. An old friend-now Sprint Store Manager informed TalkAndroid that there are whispers about a July 24th release date for the Samsung Galaxy S2 going around in the Sprint world. Just rumors, right? Not so fast. While taking another friend out to pick a new phone, I asked an employee if they knew anything about the S2 or Photon and that my friend was particularly interested in buying one. After a quick discussion she told us that we ought to wait for the S2, that “nothing is certain, but management has told us that the S2 is planned on being released early the last week of July. I’ve heard 24th.” Two different stores, two different people, yet both point to the same release date. Again, none of this can be confirmed for sure until Sprint or Samsung officially announce it, but I’m one of those people who don’t believe in coincidences. Especially if they both choose the same date out of the 365 day year.

It’s no secret that Galaxy S2 will be here in July, but July 24th is a particularly interesting date. The date would mark exactly one month after the release of the Evo 3D. With Sprint offering its customers one month to return and exchange a newly purchased phone, what could Sprint be thinking with this move? With Sprint putting a huge deal on customer service as of late, perhaps they don’t want to make customers feel ripped off if they wanted to get the S2 and couldn’t wait once they saw the 3D? What does this mean for Motorola’s Photon that’s scheduled for a summer release as well? None of this is known for sure, but what is known is that Sprint is definitely pushing to still have top of the line Android phones. And what about that rumored iPhone 4S on Sprint? Regardless, there are definitely some big things coming for the smallest company in the “Big Three.”
