Samsung Galaxy S hits China in three different flavors

Samsung Galaxy S will launch in China in three different versions - one for each of the three major telecoms in the country. One of them, headed to China Telecom, is even going to feature GSM and CDMA dual-standby.

Samsung Galaxy S will launch in China before the end of the year. China Telecom will launch its version this month. Samsung SCH-I909 is a capable of working on both CDMA and GSM networks, but has CDMA2000 as its 3G standard.

The version for China Mobile is the TD-SCDMA Samsung GT-I9008. It will support the Chinese CMMB mobile TV service and will run on the Ophone 2.0 platform (it's the China Mobile's OS based on Android).
