After what felt like forever for many Android fan Samsung Galaxy S II finally is set to touch United States. Come next Monday, Samsung will spill the details around the Galaxy S II United States launch.

Start date and its positioning as the flagship of the Android mobile phone, it's almost inevitable that Galaxy S II will be spun as a big competitor iPhone 5's — and in this battle, Samsung will need the support of so many of the carrier, as it can get. Alas, it looks like they will have to continue without the support of the world's largest carrier: Verizon.

According to a report out from the Wall Street Journal, Verizon will be overweight in the Galaxy S II game. AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint will all be part of the big launch event, while Verizon plans to continue pushing the device already in their portfolio.

Of course, this is contrary to earlier rumors (though we left unreported seemed a bit too shaky) that Verizon will be the first in the United States to get Galaxy S II, running it under the name "functions". It's just how things are going, when you live life around the rumor mill.

It's not as if Samsung could not build Verizon-friendly Galaxy S II; they already support CDMA, if they plan to launch the Sprint version, and they build phones that work with Verizon's LTE network since April — so why Verizon might pass up the long-awaited device? Blame it on the dates: Verizon knows comes a new iPhone, and all signs 8 September launch of Verizon's other major Android phone, long, long delay Bionic Droid. The carrier may only split their marketing love so many ways.

Update: with Verizon, we confirmed that, at least at the present time, they do not intend to carry the Galaxy S II.

Waaaay back at CES in January, Sprint and RIM announced that they are cooking up to version Playbook BlackBerry, who played with Sprint's 4 G network, and then ... No problem. Months went by with no mention of either one of the participating companies.

Unfortunately it looks like the Playbook Sprint 4 G will be buried before he even was born. Blame the lack of customer demand "(read: anyone who wants to sign now, probably already has an iPad or Xoom) Sprint killed off plans to start the device.

It was not clear whether or not the RIM will sell Sprint version of the tablet itself, although it seems pretty unlikely. CDMA phones for sale without the support of the carrier is hard enough, but as a half-baked object ultra niche-oriented business Tablet? Blyeck.

As the Wall Street Journal said this ... not good news for RIM. Sprint is one of the main carrier, who was willing to back Playbook — neither AT&T or Verizon would like to have something to do with it. While the Sprint still offers only WiFi tablet, it doesn't seem like they are planning to stick a Playbook for much longer. Nail, meet the coffin.
