PhoneNews.com has learned that Clearwire will be releasing its own variant of the WiMax-enabled Samsung Galaxy S, following the leak of the Sprint Galaxy S PRO version this past week with a target launch slated for the end of the year.

This follows along with word that Sprint will offer both versions of the device (with and without hardware keyboard).  The aforementioned devices will be identical to the European version in specification save for differences in radio support and hardware respectively.
