Traitor.
Just kidding, at least it's a Sammy phone. We can let it slide, but don't do anything too crazy.
Seriously though, I'd like to hear about radio quality differences and such if you have some time.

I thought I'd chime in since I have a Charge and also a Nexus in the household. Nexus has been working perfect, no LTE dropping issues or anything like that. It does display 1 bar lower than the Charge, but that doesn't affect the performance of the phone.

This phone isn't all about the specs, but the user experience. Also with that mentality, you'll never upgrade. Technology doesn't stop

Really? Nexus always wants to top the next nexus..so I'm assuming the next nexus will hold the quad core...and why wouldn't nexus go quad?

But it's stock 4.0! It's just no comparison to Gingerbread, no exaggerating. It's so much more refined, so much smoother and user friendly. If you can wait a few days for inventory to catch up/delivery you can get it on Wirefly for $240, Amazon ~$200?
These LTE phones are expensive at the $300 price tag, but considering Verizon has 200 million people covered by the 4G network s impressive. My are has LTE everywhere, and only T-mobile has their FauxG as well. No one else.

No I'd rather pay $300 for a TouchWiZ UI.
AOSP is one of the main reasons I bought the nexus. I would gladly pay for the AOSP experience.
I have owned 3 Samsung smatphones. Fascinate, charge and Captivate. I always wondered why people complained about TW. I thought TW was a good UI. Until I used full AOSP.
The difference is HUGE. Don't get me wrong I loved my Charge minus the data drop issue, with the latest gingerbread OTA the charge became a much better device.
I am sure quad core phones will be coming soon but that's no reason to knock the galaxy nexus or someone else's purchase decision.
See, When you buy your quad core phone the next generation of android hardwarw will be just around the corner.
The bottom line is no matter which device you buy, you will always be just behind the next big thing.
The only thing you can do to combat this is buy a GOOGLE device. That way you at least will have the latest software. Just my two cents.

Welllll, as long as it drops by april i will have the HD Rocket then.....keeping my fingers crossed.
i guess it doesnt matter for you right, you will get the buy back policy no matter what working at bestbuy mobile right??
you lucky bastid.....
after really thinking about it this skyrocket is still kick ass ill just get a quadcore when my upgrade is available in December
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
yea i have an upgrade coming up around that time as well. but till then i am GOING to use my buy back if i can....then upgrade to the quad when it is released.....after reading our posts, i am officially a PHONE JUNKY.
i want them ALL!!!!
I'm still within my 30 day buyer's remorse period, but I don't think I care about an HD display enough to go back to my crummy old Motorola for a couple months.
When shopping for my phone I tried out a couple with HD displays, and I realized that kind of pixel density is kind of wasted on me. I can see the difference if I really squint, but I just don't care. I'd almost rather have the added gaming performance that comes with a lower res display.
Plus, there's going to be some Tegra 3 phone that I really want 3 months after that, and something even more awesome 2 months after that. The life of an Android owner is to get the very latest and greatest when you get your phone, and to have it stay the latest and greatest for about a week.
but it has a better display and is bigger.....even if just by .15 inches.
lol.......
again if its possible i will be getting it.......
That's awesome. But like some of you guys I'm gonna hang onto my skyrocket. My lovely wife is going to give me her upgrade in November as long as she gets my skyrocket. Thanks babe.

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.

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.

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
I hate it when you buy a phone like the awesome Skyrocket, and find out that within the next 2 months a better version of the Skyrocket is coming out. The Skyrocket HD. I came from Verizon and had the HTC REZOUND. The HD DISPLAY was awesome. But even though the Skyrocket resolution is a lot lower something about the super amoled plus screen is amazing. My question is should I dish out my own money for the new Skyrocket HD WHEN IT COMES OUT? Or just live with the one I got, which I love? I really love hd screens. Especially coming from the Rezound.

it was already announced by att at ces, its on their website as coming soon. the sky hd was just stupid for att because they might as well just get the gs3, which they probably will in q3 or q4
Samsung is aware that it was at ces ..they made the thing....think of it as the concept car that never hit production....or eventually does but with a different name
If you haven't seen my posts regarding the S3 look again.
I have no doubt we are going to see an hd phone. ot will have the same processor and a 4.65" screen. it will Prolly be called the S3 or the skyrocketed hd.
It isn't going to be quadcore....there will be no mind blowing spec changes.
No...these guys at Samsung won't give me exact info, they could lose their job....but they have always given me enough to speculate with 95% accuracy.
Something is coming, another mad rush of device releases...otherwise they would not have been looking for outside device testers etc.

We have the top of the line phone right now. Phones and tablets are constantly getting better like computers were a few years ago. Might as well wait and get the next top of the line phone next contract.

Example: the transformer prime is already old news. A much higher resolution one with wifi/GPS fixes is on its way later this year.

Good for you man, don't pay attentionto all the negativity over here people are getting buyers remorse because the sgs3 is coming out. It's a great device, I can't wait to see everyone that switches over complain over there.
My buyers remorse just came in the form of the GS2 my wife got yesterday for free... I was hating on it when it first came out, but now that I've used it, and it's been updated to ICS, I think I could be very happy with it. But then I'm addicted to the One S's camera, which, aside from the color over-saturation issue, is awesome and much better than the GS2's. Now I just have to wait for the GS3 to arrive and for ebay to be overrun with GS2's so I can snatch one up for cheap.

I plan on getting one myself depending on what comes with it but this is going to be my primary device. The other will be for development but I have a few devices now totaling 8 so I'll chalk it up to the collection.
I only buy phones as they come out.trade the old ones out. But not just any phone.only high end phones.once the note 2 comes out. Then I'll have it again.

No problem here and had you not read about it you wouldn't have noticed it yourself, it only happens when web pages first load and after that its gone.
My suggestion to you is to get rid if it and get the SGS3 and find that it will be slightly better but still there, people don't realize that the better the screen the more your processor has to work to correct it taking away from processing a little inorder to have 1 second of pixelation instead of 3.
