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?

Hmm... I'll make the decision once ICS comes out for our phone and compare.

Depends on Dev Support there!!!! And obviously my Bank account!!!!!!!!!
I'll be jumping ship. I wish i knew how much it'll be off contract. I want to sell my skyrocket and pay the difference out of pocket? What's a good price to sell a skyrocket ? I was thinking 350.... ????

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
Its an amazing device....but I am waiting for the galaxy s3
Wha whaa whaaaaat

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

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
Lets just say I have an...informator. Anyway, I texted him and asked if he knew when ICS was coming for the Skyrocket. He released the skyrocket under his wing. He said not a specific date, but sometime this summer.
So ICS devs, keep deving.
PS.. Cant get him into to trouble, so no more info.
BALLS......
So in other words....when the international one hits. We will see that one ported before AT&T gets around to it. (the international Skyrocket or T mobile variant)

No offense but I find this hard to believe.
Why is hard to believe I got stung by Samsung in the past.
They are full of excuses but they can not explain to me why my Transformer Prime got ICS in a month and it takes them more than 6 months to upgrade this device.
They sell you a device they got paid, they get nothing by providing timely upgrades,

If I had to guess I bet the Prime has one hardware revision, and the galaxy even within the same device branding has multiple. The Windows Phone 7 Samsung Focus had major issues with updates, because Samsung made minor changes between rev 1.3 & 1.4.
As far as the release date for ICS a Samsung employee can just be repeating a rumor they heard, just as well as a non employee
When does samsung start their summer? I'm sure it's not the same months when we start ours.
Just like our Q1 isn't the same as theirs. Oh and the definition of soon between us and them seems to be pretty conflicting too.

I had a Motorla on T-Mobile and waited 9 months past a promised date only to get a half-assed upgrade. So it's not just Samsung & AT&T.

No One Knows
Israeli Skyrocket gets updated Mid March 2012 (1st Q ) Maybe we can get code and use it on ATT and maybe not. Rumors and promises appear worthless. It is what it is and will come out someday.

I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get ICS till summer, Sammy doesn't have a very good track record with updates. I shudder to think how long it'll take them to release the source.

AT&T has listed its smartphones that will be getting the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in the coming months.
Those devices are the LG Nitro, Motorola ATRIX 2, Motorola ATRIX 4G, Pantech Burst, Pantech Element, Samsung Captivate Glide, Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung Galaxy S II, Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, and Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9.
The carrier made sure to note that it will take months for the updates to roll out to your device, but at least those are confirmed.

I think it's on Samsung more than AT&T.
We'll get it either from T-Mobile's rollout to the Hercules or Rogers rollout to their Skyrocket clone or from AT&T.
Three carriers, three very similar phones.... three chances. Plus leaks from Samsung themselves.
We really should kill all ICS threads and have one single master ICS sticky thread for all ICS related news.
Someone else start it please.
I think there should be a grammar Police to fix the their, there, they're Monsters. Jus' Playin' you (you know who you are) are subtle and funny, you did it right.

I just hope the next couple releases don't break driver compatibility.
Like Froyo and Gingerbread weren't a big deal to upgrade from Eclair. That's good. That reduces fragmentation. When you break driver compatibility, you make upgrading a monster pain in the ass and it's slow.

Sure, ICS might take awhile for the 727 and others already have it, but we _do_ have LTE and I love it- there's no software upgrade for that!
Like the developer commnity won't have it out before 90% of the carriers, and with less bloat. ^____^

I totally agree with you there.
I bought the Skyrocket for a few main reasons:
LTE
Benchmarks compared to others available at the time of purchase.
The promise of the ICS update
If I wasn't in need of a phone at the time of purchase, I would have most likely picked up the Note.
I am a patient person and can wait for the release. If I don't like what is provided I am sure there will be plenty of other ROMs to choose from at the time as ICS should be available for the other 'brother' devices shortly.
But seriously, with all of the griping that I am seeing regarding ICS it makes me wonder what is going to be said when Jelly Bean becomes available...
Just my two cents, thanks for listening.
they better hurry up
I enjoyed being part of this amazing community, so much talent and genius creators. But is time to say goodbye I have moved to the Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ GSM and Im loving it.
Thanks again to all the developers I will miss this forum dearly.

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..
