Any idea when T- mobile will have it release One UI 8.5 to the public? Releases starter they are, or were, the first major U.S. carrier to receive the release, yet i don't know anyone with it.

Its unknown when it will be released since it's still in beta testing

Thanks. That's not stopping them from promoting the **bleep** out of it, with releases to content creators as early as September or October of last year.
I appreciate the info.

What you're referring to are leaked internal builds that certain individuals obtained by illegitimate means. The only official way anyone outside of Samsung has obtained 8.5 thus far is through enrollment in the beta program.

S26 series will be in people's hands on March 11th. I would be guessing here, it might come with the March security patch at the end of the month, or sometime early April.

The absolute known time it will be released is when one has an actual S26 model in hand to use. The reveal is on February 25th, so it is possible for some to get it 7-10 days after the reveal event is over and Samsung opens sales of the device to order online in its store. Last year, the S25 line was revealed on January 22nd. I ordered my S25U right after the event was over and I received my S25U on January 30th. IIRC, physical stores did not have their S25 stock for availability until February 7th.
