Apparently both are the same phones
Has anyone got their hands on them yet?
The Skyrocket is i believe the same Galaxy S II that rogers is selling so you can always look at that one
Edit: They seem pretty similar except with different frequencies
seem typical waiting for hands one.
I got the Samsung Galaxy s2 lte Korean model..... Can i use the rom of AT&T on mine?

I wanna know what's the difference between the Tmobile Galaxy S2 & Att Galaxy S2 Skyrocket?? & Which is better?? I had the Tmobile Galaxy S2 but not the Att Galaxy Skyrocket.
TMOs has 48mbps HSPA+ and Skytocket has LTE. Thats it

I believe the difference is Tmo's has a slightly bigger screen (0.02" bigger) and the SoC seems to be the same except one includes a modem other doesn't. Skyrocket is a tad ligher and has LTE. As in wich one is better.... That will probably fall on opinion. Doubt one is noticeably superior, not counting LTE vs HSPA+. Even then its relative to location.
Edit: OYE BORICUA!
I am looking for a new phone but don;t want to get stuck with a WiMax 4G phone again when I could be using the local LTE 4G that is around me.
I would be interested in peoples comments on a new phone.
Thanks
I'm confused the only carrier I know of that has wimax is Sprint and they don't have LTE yet, so what I'm guessing you are asking is if there is any Samsung LTE phones for Verizon or ATT am I correct?
The only phones I can think of that have LTE on those carriers that are Samsung are the Galaxy nexus,note,skyrocket,Droid charge, and the stratosphere.
Your best bet is the galaxy nexus...good all around (LTE only with Verizon)
quick question...I have both the sprint and Tmo variants of the galaxy s2 and have a chance to pick up a skyrocket at a decent price. Which galaxy s2 do I all prefer? I originally picked up the t989 but it appears to be the sidekick 4g's bastard cousin and gets the least support due to the one off processor. Who wins the s2 fight? Btw any suggestions on new apps/roms/kernels whatever to try out?

Stay away from the skyrocket unless you neeeeeeeeeed lte that badly. It uses a snapdragon chip, which blows. The normal galaxy s2 uses an exynos chipset which is very good. Get the sprint model, make sure its not the skyrocket and youre set
my d710 of galaxy s2 is very good.!
In terms of device performance, definitely Sprint's Epic 4G Touch. It has all the same hardware as the international S2, plus an LED notification light, 4.5 inch screen and WiMax 4G, and a bigger battery. The Skyrocket has the same processor as the 989 because Exynos doesn't do LTE just like it doesn't do T-Mobile's funky AWS 3G frequency.
The Epic 4G Touch and i777 (AT&T original S2) are the best. Out of those two the AT&T model is the best in terms of ROM support, but the Epic 4G Touch is better because of the bigger screen, LED notification and bigger battery. The AT&T version can run all of the i9100 ROMs with some tweaking and it has NFC, which the Epic 4G Touch doesn't.
Hi all,
Was interested in picking up the new Bell Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE and was wondering if it was the same as the Skyrocket?
Would be interested in flashing the radio so it could be used with WInd Mobile's networks etc.
Thoughts?
hello,
i have t-mobile as a carrier. i bought two new samsung galaxy ace phones. ace plus and an ace 2. both are the latin models, not the euro models, and have the 850/1900 3g freq, but when i use my tmobile sim, both phones are running on EDGE speed and not 3g. anybody know why and how to get them to run on the 3g, tmobile was a waste of time asking them, no help
thanks
