Switching to the Skyrocket?

Is anyone switching to the Skyrocket? It comes out tomorrow. I really like my Infuse but there is an update on one of my lines and my mom broke the screen on her phone. So I am thinking about giving her my Infuse and upgrading to the Skyrocket.

In your predicament, personally, I would do it

I'm getting the skyrocket but keeping my infuse.

A beast that in many ways is slower than the 1.2GHz dual core in the real sgs2 which has a ton of development since it is an international phone unlike all this north America carrier specific junk we have to deal with.
Ok so its still a beast and probably highly overclockable, I have to wonder about features like mhl though, the att sgs2 that's already out doesn't come with the adapter, will the sky rocket? I guess the infuse needs a selling point with all these super phones coming out.

I'm still thinking of between the Vivid and Skyrocket, probably Skyrocket though.
I'm not going to do the same thing I did on my Vibrant, and be an early adopter, I'm going to wait a week or 2 to see what development is like, but I truly only want root, and I can wait for everything else.
EDIT: YES! I just looked on the AT&T website, and my area is one that the SGS II (original) wasn't sold, so the Skyrocket is $149.99, and the Vivid is $99.99 for me..
Guess I'll be getting one of the 2. xD

Naw, its a SnapDragon.

Just flashed my phone from MIUI back to stock, ready with the box and everything to go switch out my infuse first thing tomorrow for the Skyrocket!

after having the evo3d having dual cores is not that big of a deal

Debating. I am going to go today to take a look at it if the store has them and decide. Will be keeping my Infuse either way and not using my upgrade.

How is it $149.99? I thought it was going to be $250.00?

Exactly 35 days after using my second upgrade on an Xperia Play, I find out AT&T is releasing a motherload of new phones. This is my face right now.

Oh well, It will be interesting to see how these new phones fare! Plus I still have my infuse! ^_^

If I can get Bestbuy to price match at $150 im in. I do not see it for that price anywhere right now though.

Gave infuse to my stepson, skyrocket in-hand from Best Buy. $249.99 DFW

Upgrade to Sgs Skyrocket or stay with infuse?!

I'm on the fence! I barley became elgible for an upgrade. I was going to go with an iphone 4S and just sell it however the Skyrocket seems tempting. The specs seem only slightly better than my infuse. However my infuse has been buggy lately. Should I stay with the infuse and sell my upgrade? Or should I splurge for the skyrocket? I'm currently in an area that doesn't yet have LTE so AT&T will give it to me for $149

No point if you don't even have LTE. Wait for a native ICS phone.

Agreed... If you're looking for development, I'd stick with the SGS2. I think the Skyrocket is going to have limited development and the LTE could cause issues like it has on Verizon with development. Just my own two cents. Or hold out for the Galaxy Nexus.

No issues here. I'm currently running both phones. Skyrocket does everything my infuse does only faster, and the battery last me almost twice as long. Side by side screen is same size, but skyrocket has shorter housing which to me makes the phone feel a tad bit smaller in hand.

the infuse dev will never be what it will be on th sgs2 varients especially not the i9100 or i777 but i think one thing holding up the infuse is that we expexted a quick 2.3 upgrade so froyo development stopped. i mean in janurary samsung advertied the infuse a a gb device. then we got rogers rom but it didnt satisafy everyone. i was gonna start up a rom on froyo and then we got some leaks. but now we dont have source code froyo doesnt look appealing and the gb leaks are dropping so fast nobody is interested in working with them.
i think there will be 1 or 2 decent roms once att says it's ok to drop a new firmware version but from the leaks id have to say samsung isn't ready. i foresee the same situations that happened on the captivate. come december we'll all bring up the add showing the 11 or so devices promised gb by the end of the year (like samsung promised froyo for the galaxy s varients on twitter in the us but att missed that deadline) and att will simply say "we had problems" which is all rediculous because it looks like samsung only started woring on the update 2 months ago, which probably has more to do with att not showing interest in an update than anything else.

Granted, I don't believe the Skyrocket will be getting ICS in a timely manner because AT&T truly sucks in the upgrade department...but I doubt it will be abandoned like the Infuse was. Any phone that can run ICS will be somewhat coveted.
The Infuse became outdated and forgotten because it was one of the last single cores made. There are always going to be people who want the bigger display. I personally hated the size of the S2. I can never go back to a smaller screen again. The think the Skyrocket will hold it's own with the "size matters" crowd. It looks like a great phone and nearly everyone who has one is loving it.

I was at att the other day upgrading gf line to the HTC vivid, I noticed the infuse was off all displays and all the cases and such were locked in a drawer. The rep also told me that LTE won't be up here in Maine until next upgrade, lol, although its launched in Mass. She also informed me that I can early upgrade any of my 3 lines for a diduction of $200 off retail ($450) ill wait another month or 2 than upgrade my line, ill only lose a few months while my 3rd line upgrades next may. Also, my infuse as been super buggy as of late, I'm now getting strange bubble popping sounds with volume off and with out touching anything, this is my 3rd infuse.

And more importantly, higher res screens like the Rezound. Enough of this WVGA.

Samsung Galaxy S Blaze?

So here we go, another Samsung/T-Mobile fail. Why do they always do this. They always bring out the same headset with just some minor changes.
Why not get the Galaxy Nexus already?
If T-Mobile didn't have such good customer service and cheap plans I would of cancelled a long time ago. We always seem to get the short end of the stick.
Guess what's gonna happen when this is released. Even less development, that's what. Grrrr.

Lol. Havent you guys ever noticed art and tmobile always get similar counterparts as far as phones go. Don't know why people complain and say they get more. We got amaze and they got rezound. They get this new HD and we get blaze. They have similar bbs and other phones. Just throwing out my perspective. Oh and stop *****ing and just don't buy it. Don't people keep phones for more than a year now.

The most puzzling thing is that it has the same specs as the T-Mobile Galaxy SII, but is branded as a Galaxy S device.

I'm sorry but as valid as these responses get thus is ridiculous. Just return the phone and wait if it bothers you so much. This phone prob won't be out for another six months. By then when you buy it some "better" phone will be announced. What are you hoping to buy that is future proof?

Yeah, this one should come with ICS since there is no Nexus yet, but of course it won't.
Like previous post it has the same specs, but this one will probably have an HD screen on it. #lame
I doubt this will be out in six months, I'm guessing Feb/March.
Powered by the SGSII....

It seems to me like this is a dumbed down version of the GSII. First of all they are calling it a "Galaxy S" instead of Galaxy S II, and the screen is called "Super Amoled", but not Super Amoled Plus or HD.

Samsung probably figured out how to fix our screen issues with the lines and blotches and decided that instead of admitting fault and having to fix all the sold phones with the issue they could just release a new model with no issues and a better res to make money instead of losing it... guess ill probably wait for the galaxy s3 hd blaze... n this whole galaxy fiasco is starting to remind me of the iphone adding a letter or number to the end without really even upgrading anything in the phone

Worth waiting for the skyrocket HD?

OK so coming from an iPhone I bought the galaxy s2. Didn't think of getting the skyrocket cause I don't have lte in my area. Long story short I'm really loving the phone but now I'm hearing bout this HD version. I would love to have a HD quality screen. But I like the smaller size of the s2 screen. Well I'm still in my buyers remorse stage so I'm wondering if its worth it to wait it out. Not sure how long it'll take to be released. What would u guys do?

Wait for May and buy the International version Galaxy S3...

Too soon to really say... I demand a full spec sheet before making up my mind...

You can wait for the Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE, but if you want one more week after it's released you can pick up the Samsung Galaxy S II Super HD XLE LTE. Then of course one week after that you could have the Samsung Galaxy S II.1 Super HD XLE LTE.
On a serious note, whatever you decide on, don't let buyers remorse get to when it's bypassed by a 'better' model just after you get it.
.

^ya ur right. I was gunna get the skyrocket originally but since the s2 was cheaper and we don't have lte yet I bought the s2. I'm having a hard enough time making my battery last all day in my s2. I could imagine the drain from a bigger
HD screen. Although the att guy did make a good point bout the lte. He says if I go to a place that does have lte it would be a nice feature to have. Then again I change phones like crazy. So maybe ill just wait til newer stuff comes out in summer

Galaxy Note...Are you switching?

Just curious how many of us out there are going to move on to the galaxy note. I'm still in my 30 days with skyrocket and trying to make the decision to return it and go back to my old phone until the note comes out. I love the skyrocket but I switched to it for bigger display and LTE and the note accomplishes that even further. Soooo what do you all think?

If it has an S3, I'm staying far away from it.
The Adreno 220 is good, but terrible at higher res, look at the Rezound, it lags on anything.
The Note won't be any different...

The note didn't lag on me at all...and battery life was amazing ...I was on it for two hours straight

Mr ed,
Were you on LTE when you tested it? How was the reception on LTE? I wonder if it is any thicker than the International version? I may sell my skyrocket and get the ATT version to go with my International GNote if the battery life and reception etc all review out well. I will wait a month or so after the launch to make sure I see all the reviews before moving forward.
Once you get used to the GNote, the skyrocket does not cut it for resolution and features.

Yeah after only two hours with it my skyrocket seems so wimpy

Ill be switching. Ive had something warm for the Note since its release but couldn't justify buying an unlocked unwarrentied phone (I party too much) My skyrocket has performed amazingly and it seems from the numbers the Note will too. I had an ATT sgs2 and then the skyrocket and I couldn't notice any difference in the processors. Ill have the ATT Note on launch day and Im sure Ill love it.

Hmm... according to red in another thread, AT&T is getting the GNexus.
I seriously hope that's true, so I'll wait a month or 2 (also gives the Note time to mature, and get some dev going, I don't like being an early adopter.)

Sorry if that came across that way...they are NOT getting it

Well then.... ****.
I can get the International GNexus, or AT&T GNote... this will be one tough choice.

I'd love to switch, but just got the combo Skyrocket + Galaxy Tab 8.9. I suppose I can't return just the Skyrocket now. The 30 day return window should be up by next week.
My only option should be selling the skyrocket on ebay. How much are they going for anyway?

Aww man the G Note, i am really wanting one but the screen size is giving me second thoughts. Maybe if i see one in person i would probably have a better decision. If not the G Note i may just hold out for the skyrocket HD with 4.65 screen it could be the perfect size for me.

Mmmm Note is very attractive but I'm going to wait the price get lower....can't wait
Enviado desde mi GT-S5570L usando Tapatalk

Any skyrocket devs going to the note? It would be nice to have some guys familiar with the hardware cooking for this monster. Im hoping that there just has to be some recompiling done to the skyrocket roms to accomadate the larger hd screen. I would guess the faux kernel would work since it says it works with pretty much all GB sammys. I almost which sammy sprung the release on us like they did with the skyrocket lol this wait is killing me
