Samsung sending invitations for a “major product announcement” on August 29th, could it be the US debut of the Samsung Galaxy S II?

Samsung just sent out invitations for “a major product announcement” taking place in New York on August 29th, and judging by the huge “II” at the end of it, it might be for the US debut of the company's flagship phone, the Samsung Galaxy S II. The event kicks off at 6:00 pm.

These are all the details we have so far, but Samsung promises to unveil more soon. For what we know, the 4.3-inch dual-core Galaxy S II is among the hottest selling Android devices right now with 5 million units sold in just three months after its launch. While it rolled out months ago internationally, the handset is not yet available on a single carrier stateside.

This might change all at once on August 29th as rumor points to all four major carriers getting their version of the Galaxy S II – for AT&T the device will come as the Samsung Attain, for Verizon it will be the Samsung Function, while for Sprint it will be known as the Samsung Within, while for T-Mobile rumor says that it will be dressed as the Samsung Hercules.

So there you have it, Samsung promised a US launch in August, and if this proves true, it will deliver.
