THE GODS ENVY US!!!!!!!!!

I cant imagine the support that phone is going to get. I mean it isnt even out in the states and the devs already have it.

I wish Tmobile would pick it up...

/facepalm.
i buy the SGS 4G, and then hear about this.

I have sneaky idea that someone will find the unlock code for this as well so it can be use by T-Mobile peeps

Is that the U.S. CDMA version or the Europe GSM version?

its not a matter of it being unlocked, you can purchase them unlocked from alot of places. its a matter of NONE of them being able to utilize tmobiles 3g/4g AWS bands. They will only work on edge as far as data goes.

although T-Mobile will not be getting the sgsII (supposedly) Its likely we will be getting this Goliath monster of a phone.

Edit: I noticed the article does not mention the battery size... if it shares a similar battery with the infuse 4g it should be a 1750mah battery.

I didnt know that... but I know I am waiting for more info on this phone. Sounds like it may even trump the SGSII (excluding dev support).

No Galaxy S II in America?

I envision a world where Apple fights competition through their products and not in the court room. But, alas, today is not that day.

It'll get here, they'll probably just settle the case with an ass load of money. They both have a lot to spare.

Eh, doesnt matter to me i snatched up my sammmy before this crazyness lol!! I hope the judge gets a hands on opinion with new samsung devices and then he/she can tell for themselves how different they are. I don't hate apple but this lowballing technique really doesnt help their image. Maybe they should create a phone that can actually compete with new android devices like the Evo 3d, now thats competition! In America "Competition means good business."

Apple sucks.

At&t is supposed to be getting it. But it doesnt look like there is any s2 branded for tmobile, or at least that supports tmobile AWS bands. You can order one unlocked and put your tmboile sim in it, but it will only work for voice and 2g/edge data. Even with that limitation...ive been thinking of buying one anyways, or the single core at&t infuse 4g and just unlock it and put my sim in it and live with the 2G data. Dont think i have the balls to live with 2g tho.
On another note, im guessing Tmobile USA isnt getting it because of the Hercules thats supposed to be released in September which is supposed the be like the s2 on steroids. lol.
I need to buy something new. The fact there are much more powerful phones out there even though i love my gs4g...is killing me softly...lol

LTE Phones!

Just informing our fellow Infuse owners of something that a lot of us have been waiting for (and possibly didn't upgrade to the SGS II for that reason).
http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/31/atandt-brings-its-first-lte-smartphones-to-life-htc-vivid-and-sam
AT&T announced the first 2 LTE phones, the Samsung Galaxy S II: Skyrocket, and HTC Vivid (Holiday).
Discuss what you think about these phones, and AT&T's LTE network if/when you do get them (if you have LTE service in your area, obviously).

why is att always getting garbage????
while verizon is getting galaxy nexus LTE!

Skyrocket will be mine lol guess i will be selling my infuse

The Galaxy Nexus is a complete failure of a phone specs wise, it gets outran by the SGS II by a mile.
OS wise, it has ICS, so it's obviously better, but once the source is released, I'm sure CM9 will be on it.
I'm also selling my Infuse, I want this phone badly. Will be selling my iPod also, or I may open another line and get it on contract, but I WANT this phone.

1280x720 on PenTile, which wil give you the same PPI as the iPhone 4, actually, it gives you LESS PPI then the iPhone 4.
It also won't have better colors then SAMOLED+, so yeah....

Yep. Honestly, if I get the SGSII, I'll be dissapointed in the Snapdragon, but it's still pretty snappy.
Now, if it comes with the 1.5GHz Exynos, then... well it'll be the best Samsung phone out.

Its about damn time

What's it matter it's not like you're going to have LTE coverage in your area. Hell I don't even have Verizon LTE coverage down here in So Cali

Speak for your area, I live in one of the first 5 LTE markets, and we're already coated with LTE, so it matters to me.

Will this skyrocket be thicker than SGS2? (at& t) as LTE phones are always thicker. Can anyone confirm?

The LTE radios forAT&T are thinner because they have new tech, and AT&T's LTE network is more advanced then Verizons (or so they say).

Sorry for the noob question...

I'm just wondering if the SGS4G is the same as the Telus Galaxy S Fascinate 4G? I have one, and the model is SGS-959P. I had the 3G version, and had a custom rom on it, and loved it, just trying to figure out which roms I can use on this one..
Thanks

They are not the same phone. Don't flash any of these Roms onto your phone.

I know, i was just saying the specs are similar, its GSM, front facing cam, 4g, same bands, everything lol I was just saying why would samsung name it Fascinate when they already had a CDMA fascinate with Verizon. And why not give Telus the SGS4G better.

Just ordered Skyrocket...chances of Skyrocket HD being released in next 30 days

Hi all,
I am switching from Sprint and just ordered a refurbished Skyrocket for $49. I have 30 days to switch to a different phone so what are the chances of the Skyrocket HD or anything else worthy coming out within that period?

Realistically you can't go wrong with a skyrocket. You have 2 devices worth of devs, radio freq. That works on anything but verizon or sprint, which means service can just about be had anywhere, yes maybe no hd display but all the benefits out weigh having hd on a phone

I just bought a skyrocket and don't live in a LTE area...(planning for it this year) I like the phone alot but I noticed not alot of development going on compared to the sgs2. Skyrocket don't have miui which is a pretty popular rom. Anyway, just wanted to ad that tidbit for what's it worth to whoever.

gs2 has been our for quite awhile. and this phone is still, contrary to popular belief, quite new, its only been on the market for a few months

the one he is referring to is a gsm galaxy nexus, which you will have to buy off contract in the 5 hundred dollar range. (atleast that's the only one that can compare to the skyrocket) so unless you have 500 to blow you made the best choice on att right now unless you want the giant note

No LTE yeah, but really wasn't your life chugging fine until now anyways? Realistically, if I got to choose again, I'd take the nexus over the skyrocket. The software pains are absolutely horrible compared to the HSPA pains.
There's always the future software upgrades, nexus will keep you on top of them for at least two revisions, don't expect that from AT&T.
