Im eligible for upgrade in October/November and I was wondering if there was any good Android phones that are out. Or phones that are coming out soon that are worth getting.
Just the epic 4g that I know of for 2010.
Is the galaxy S any good?

Epic 4G is better. Seen a friend toying with it in Orange County. Smooth and somewhat "FAT" But 4G only works for people in the "4G" zones.
as for Galaxy S, if you want Root right after you got it, information are already posted in this forum.
Too bad T-Mobile's HSPA+ beats down Sprint's so called "4g"
But nah they're both fast and fairly similar. Great speeds on both.
The Galaxy S is GREATand the Epic 4G looks like an awesome phone, but I migrated to touch only. I have a Vibrant and I am highly pleased.
If you we're curious as to which phone to get, for performance, them here is the results. Updates are a whole other topic lol.
Samsung wins for performance.

Is the infuse a galaxy s phone because i am currently in a debate with a friend that has the infuse and he says it is a galaxy s....so is it?
Sent from my Infuse 4g via the XDA Dev App
In general it is, but in the states its not. but it is.
It is when it counts. Samsung has a remote viewfinder app for one of its digital cameras that only works with "Galaxy S" devices. And it works with my Infuse 4G, so that is "Galaxy S enough" for me.
It's not branded as a GS in the USA, but it is branded as such in Canada.
Also, hardware-wise it's 90% identical to the GS series.
strictly speaking it is if you are Canadian.
not if you are American.
galaxy s is just s branding at this point. there are sgs labrled phones with less in common to the i9000 than this but there are also many differences between the galaxy s i9000 and the infuse.

Infuse isnt the galaxy series nor in the US neither in Canada. Here in Canada Galaxy Sii is launched separately and infuse is scheduled to launch at rogers on the 27th and its not marketed as galaxy series.
correction: the poster above is right, i just checked here in Canada they are marketing it as Galaxy Infuse. So Im sorry for that.
What i mostly wanna know is about data seeds. Which ice is better, and pictures a are a must. Speedtest
I was on the same boat as you, an eventually decided to get the SG2 because of the reviews,faster processor, an the Custom ROM's.
This video can help you out, both phones are great an fast just Google this.
Samsung Galaxy S II vs. Skyrocket – Smartphone Smackdown! (Video)
i bought samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket and i returned it and got sgs2 only because of the pictures.. For me I think the picture quality in sgs2 is way better than skyrocket its more crisp and not pixilated.. oh by the way another reason is its hard to text in one hand on skyrocket.
Skyrocket the best!!!!!
They are generally the same phone but the skyrocket is at&t's version of the Samsung Galaxy S II

Ok, this is like the 4th thread you commented on and you clearly don't know what you are talking about. The Skyrocket is not AT&Ts version of the SGSII. That would be the I777. The Skyrocket is the LTE version of the SGSII which coincidentally is the same phone (hardware wise) as the T-mobile hercules. OP, if you live in an area that supports LTE, get the skyrocket...if not, get the regular SGSII.

Not really, T-Mobile's GSII is lacking the LTE bits of the Skyrocket (which makes both not the same hardware-wise), which is AT&T's version for the SGSII LTE.

Actually the LTE Radio is tucked away in there. Devs are working on the radio situation with that phone. They are the exact same phone. Same body, same guts, different branding. They can flash each others ROM's and radios, but they havent figured out a way to unlock the LTE radio inside of the hercules.
