Samsung's latest high-end Android-based mobile phone, the Galaxy S, is set to become available for purchase in the United States as soon as tomorrow, when wireless carrier T-Mobile would release it on its airwaves as the Samsung Vibrant. Announced as headed for all major carriers in the country, the Galaxy S has been already released on other markets around the world.

We already had the chance to take a closer look at the various Galaxy S models the three largest operators in the US should launch on their airwaves, including Sprint's Samsung Epic 4G, AT&T's Captivate, or Verizon's Fascinate, and now we can take a look at the promo video available for T-Mobile's device. Little is changed from what was showed in the previously reported on videos, but, in case some did not have the chance to take a look at those, the first video below should suffice.

Samsung’s flagship Android smartphone comes with a nice range of features that should make it a very popular device on the US market. The Super AMOLED display is impressive, the Hummingbird processor and GPU offer enhanced performance, and there's also the Android OS to enjoy. The success Galaxy S registers in Korea is a proof that Samsung delivered a winner to the market, one should agree. Those interested in learning a little more on the handset should have a look at the second video below (courtesy of Phandroid), in which the device is being unboxed.

Samsung Vibrant is only the first device in the Galaxy S series to be sold in the US. AT&T should release its model, the Samsung Captivate, on July 18, followed by Verizon and Sprint in the not too far future. Galaxy S was also announced as being on its way to US cellular, not to mention that it should soon be put on sale in Canada too, via Bell, under the name of Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant.
