Rumors are spreading that Samsung will be releasing both a high-end Google Android powered handset in September 2008 and a second edition under $100 after Christmas.

Early speculation posits that both will include WiFi and possibly a VoIP client and that talks are happening with T-Mobile and Verizon, indicating that both GSM and W-CDMA versions are being condsidered.

Following the Apple iPhone there is no doubt much negotiating by the carriers in the hope of getting a piece of AT&T’s success, but take all this with a healthy sprinkle of salt. Much could happen in the intervening months.
