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?

Will be skipping this and go straight for the nexus prime.

Thinking about upgrading from my infuse. If NYC is next with lte then I'm set. Now do I get the Samsung and wait 3 years to recieve any support or updates or do I get the vivid and have to deal with its uglyness .. hmmm

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
Bring on the Skyrocket forum

Nexus is here....

I just saw it at the Verizon store.. they can't sell it till tomorrow.
I held it in my hand.. very weird with the curve.. will be great with the ladies..
Will go back in the morning and put it to the test next to my SR..
From what I can tell the only thing good about the phone is ICS..
*EDIT*... Okay.. went out eariler and saw this "wonder phone"... I brought my sr to compare..
People.. this Nexus is nothing.. feels cheap, and feels smaller then the SR.. I can't tell the difference in the screen except mine looks better.... ICS is the only selling point on this phone.. Could I feel a 'difference" well. stock to stock yes. But with different launchers.. etc.. I can't tell my phone from the Nexus..
If you want to pay $300 for a sub par phone with ICS by all means go ahead... I'm keeping the SR.

I just got the email...released today for sale (15th)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

It's on sale for $155 new lines.
I won't buy one.

I was really considering buying one of the gsm versions then I did some research and found out about the galaxy s2 hd lte which is pretty much the same phone but without ice cream sandwich, but I keep comparing and found the deal breaker, the galaxy nexus does not have micro sd slot which is a android first for me. Sounds like some apple maddness, plus I got a 64gb microsd so that just docent work for me. But hey to each his own

Verizon did a poor job at releasing that phone.
I thought the nexus was going to come out around November so I waited.
My Moto atrix screen was cracked and I couldn't wait any longer. I don't regret buying the Samsung skyrocket best phone I owned so far....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Im tempted due to ICS but in the end it isn't worth switching to Verizon and paying money for a phone that really isn't any better just for ICS .

I had Verizon and the service was subpar. AT&T works amazingly for me with speeds. After owning an iPhone I don't want another phone without an SD slot.
ICS will be available soon enough on our SR.

Engadget (first link that came up on google) says:
...this tablet / phone in-betweener is said to pack a dual-core 1.5GHz MSM8660 -- similar to the HSPA+ 42 and LTE-friendly Qualcomm chipsets found in the Skyrocket and T-Mobile's SGS II. Bear in mind, folks, that this is all still hearsay

Unless they find a way to make Exynos to work with LTE.. it will be Snapdragon.. assuming the Note every comes to Att&t... don't hold your breath..

Is anyone ditching their skyrocket for the Note when it comes to att?

Don't think it's coming in 30 days.. Also have you guys noticed how big that phone is?! It's crazy.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I have both. I got the GNote for Christmas. I did not really use it as a phone until this week when I went back to work. I planned to switch my SIM out every other week or so.
I am due to switch to my skyrocket next week and I do not really want to. The GNote is awesome!
- Screen is fantastic! HD resolution makes the skyrocket icons look like that cricket phone for old people the icons are so big in comparison!
- Bluetooth is fantastic again! I can use my Jawbone and car bluetooth again. The Gnote works as it should with bluetooth. My skyrocket is useless.
- HSPA+ speeds on my GNote are good enough. I thought I would miss LTE but I have really not.
- Battery life is amazing! 2500 mAh battery lasts and lasts! Not sure how LTE will affect the US variant. Will be better than the skyrocket though.
- The only real downside is that there are not many cases etc for the GNote unless you import them and you really do not know the quality as most are made in China. Hopefully ATT will keep the size the same so we will have more cases to choose from.
- I am not even talking about the S pen, S Planner etc. Very cool stuff you can do with theses apps and more.
- I predict the GNote will be a huge hit in the US! Hopefully all carriers will get it so all can enjoy it!

Not ditching. But planing on adding. It. Yeah the note is badass. 5.3 inch hd amoled. Awesomeness. And you can get the international version now. As he has. But the att version wil have the same cpu/gpu we have, and LTE. Also the note was confirmed for ics just like us.

One funny thing is the comments you will receive. The funniest are when ladies say something like OMG, that thing is huge! hahaha!
or is that the ipad 3? lol!

I'm thinking of adding it also...btw how is the GPS...the skyrockets GPS outta awesome..

i thought about that before. i borrow my friend's note and try it. Everything looks great except i can't really put it on my pocket, and it looks so weird when i hold it for phone call. it feels like i am holding an tablet. I wish they have skyrocket + note merge version lol. One more last thing, i really hate that physical home button.

I'm 50/50 right now, would depend if I can sell this for a reasonable price

i just signed a 2 year contract (more than 30 days in). I want the note bad but I am stuck with the skyrocket. not a bad thing though.

anyone have any idea of an ETA for the note?

I had the TITAN for 3 weeks and I thought that was huge. Looks awesome but I don't know if that 5.3" screen would fit in my pocket

One thing you could do is find someone who is still in their 30 day period (like me), have them return their Skyrocket, buy the GNote, then trade the Gnote with your Skyrocket (and you pay the difference to them, plus maybe a bit for the hassle).
Not saying I'm volunteering necessarily, but it's an idea!

why even talk about this phone here. i dont get it....

Cause its the next Sammy that att is getting...

I can't decide which one to get right now

It was rumored to be out by the end of this month, followed by the nexus by the end of March

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.

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.

i just hope this isnt what T-mobile is getting instead of SGS3, that will be my next phone even if i have to buy it un-locked, the Nexus has ICS but comes with so many fails in my eyes , not enough for me to sell my SGS2 and get one

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
