Oh yes, Samsung's [Galaxy S II LTE](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/08/ntt-docomos-galaxy-s-ii-lte-makes-way-through-fcc-with-swagger/) has made an appearance on [NTT DoCoMo](http://www.engadget.com/tag/NttDocomo/), running on the Japanese carrier's next-generation Xi network and promising top download speeds of around 37.5Mbps. The latest member to the carrier's top-drawer Next series will set you back around $260 (¥20,000) on a two-year contract. DoCoMo is aiming to reach the hands of 30 million customers by 2015, with another as-yet unnamed 4G device already penned for release before the end of the year. Perhaps the pair of data-loving handsets will help to fill that iPhone-shaped hole in the carrier's phone catalog.
