It will be a minimum of 6 months to a year for an international version to start to roll out. And over a year for us to see one..

I'm sure it will be released before the end of spring which is way less than 6 months to a year. In the US I'd bet it being here before Christmas

Just buy a phone that you like because there is always going to be something better of what you have. In the end everything becomes obsolete
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
No actual Dev is going to answer you so just pm them if you want an answer instead of posting a thread that is irrelevant since SGS3 doesn't even exist or been announced .
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
The SIII hasn't even been officially announced yet. No release dates. No confirmed specs. Its existence is barely more than rumor. How can anyone speculate who will leave, who won't, and when?
Hell, look at the Vibrant... It's development is now getting better than ever.
You gotta just get whatever phone you like. If you are always holding out for the next best thing or the newer version of tech, you're gonna be waiting forever.

I mean if your looking for devs, you would be better off asking the devs in the Galaxy nexus form what they're getting.
Mind as well..Just wait for the next nexus. Plenty of devs will be moving there. no rumor and speculation but I know for a fact. Rmb to hit thanks!
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.

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.

The latest SkyICS rom takes many parts of the GS3 including the new Touchwiz, S-Voice, and the 50GB Dropbox bonus. As mentioned, others are working on it as well.
So just curious any of you feel jumping to a GS3 is worth it?

It would be really interesting to see if Samsung/AT&T will include some of the features of the SGS3 in the official ICS for our Skyrockets. Time will tell, may even show up in the next ICS leak !!!

I was practically trying to sell my kidney to get one, but after staring at it for a while I'm really not that interested anymore. Will be first in line for next nexus phone. And I'm absolutely grabbing that nexus tablet end of this month if it's not just a rumor. I hate waiting but come september supposing apple is on time with its new lineup, I'll be getting a free iPhone 4, 4s, and iPad from my family who is upgrading so I'll have plenty to sell/trade then.

I have a question.... Why are you on this forum exactly? You are using an iPhone to post to XDA, you're signature gave you away. If you look closely, this is technically an Android forum where we are currently discussing importing one ROM to another phone it has nothing to do with an iPhone whatsoever. Wait I thought you couldn't add custom roms to iPhones? Oh wait, you can't! Look man, even if you have multiple phones, apple or Android, you don't have to come on here and talk crap. Many developers, invest there time to fix things that are broken they don't get a check for this unless is through donations. Stop talking crap bro it doesn't look good on you.
+1 if you're just here to brag about your "superior iphone" and bash android you should just leave
I currently have an atrix 4g, OG, and I've become real interested in the skyrocket. It has really awesome specs. Do you guys like your phone? I'm going to pick up a skyrocket in a few weeks and would like to know what you guys think of the phone. Do you have a good dev community and support?
Let me know what you guys think!

Forgot to mention that we can flash roms for the T-Mobile galaxy s2 since they are so similar. And a lot of their devs usually bring some of their stuff to our phone blindly developing it so we really have a lot of developers.

Skyrocket is a great phone, but I would get the SIII in a few weeks. Superior phone, and will probably have a ton of DEV support.

I LOVE this phone. No problems. Seriously, it's a great piece of hardware. I think by time my contract comes up next year, it still will feel fresh.
Add me to the list of those who recently "upgraded" from Moto Atrix to S2SR. Atrix was a good phone, but it had a serious restart/reboot problem no matter if I was on a call, texting, listening to music or watching movies/videos. I eventually sold it a month or two ago for a used SR with Otterbox Defender case. Cost of SR - profit from Atrix = $110 out of pocket. I'd say that was worth it...haha!
Anyway, for the S2SR, my only complaint is how often I lose bluetooth and wi-fi (at home) or 4G for data. I'm constantly re-connecting to my headset or checking the "Use Packet Data" box in Mobile Network. I keep a Settings shortcut on my home screen because I lose connection daily...gets annoying.
So do you guys use ODIN frequently? What is a modem? Where does unlocking the boot loader come into place? For the atrix, ODIN is RSD and we usually never use it, its either fast boot or cwm. and we just have kernals and roms and basebands when needed. Sorry for all the questions. I don't want to brick it when I get it

I'm just waiting for AT&T to announce the Skyrocket-equivalent for the S3 so I can hear the roar as hundreds of thousands of people realize they spent $600 on the base version, and the sport model came out six months later.
I'm steering clear of the S3 entirely. Too much of a risk that AT&T announces the S3 "Skyrocket 2" or whatever within a couple of months.

I would just wait till the years end to decide on your new phone. Because there's going to b always something new coming out. But like allot of att customers are going to wait for the Note 2! I've had the S3 already tested it out and it was good. But my skyrocket was faster at some things! But the S3 cameras are Excellent! That's the best thing about the phone, oh& the screen! Everything else my skyrocket will do fine.
Now rushing out to pick up the S3 because you think Sammy is going to get sued, and the phone's would b banned. That's injunction will not go into affect until next year. Plus they have to go thru appeals court. Besides this suing crap will never END between Crapple& Sammy..
