While there is no news yet on North American pricing and availability just yet (all you Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile users will have to wait), we do have some details for the UK. The Galaxy Alpha officially hitting the market on September 12th for an off-contract price of £549.

Vodafone has confirmed that it will distribute the device in all of the current colors (Dazzling White, Frosted Gold, Charcoal Black and Sleek Silver), while the Carphone Warehouse says they will have all of these too, plus an exclusive blue model.

EE confirmed in a press release that, unsurprisingly, it will stock the Galaxy Alpha. It was barely worth releasing that lone piece of news, but EE said that more details would be provided “in due course”. Thanks EE. Three also sent a tweet to say it would be selling the phone also.

Though it's had its fair share of criticism, in our hands on Samsung Galaxy Alpha review we found the handset to be rather impressive, and worthy of the Galaxy name.

Will you be buying the Galaxy Alpha when it is released in your territory?
