For the millions of mobile phone users who have been following the developments on the truth behind the Samsung Android rumors, you can all breathe easy now.

Samsung has confirmed that Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile USA will launch the first Samsung phones in the United States based on Google’s Android platform. The confirmation, made by a Samsung executive at the International CTIA Wireless 2009 show in Las Vegas, puts to rest speculation about Samsung’s Android plans for the near future.

Samsung will unveil multiple Android devices this year, according to Dr. Won-Pyo Hong, Samsung’s executive vice president of global product strategy for mobile phones. He said Samsung will launch its first Android handset in June in Europe, but said that U.S. customers would be getting Android phones in the second half of the year.

The two U.S. devices will be “totally different” from one another due to carrier preferences, Hong told Forbes.com. Sprint and T-Mobile are the only two U.S. carriers to join Google’s Open Handset Alliance.
