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..

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
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?

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

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
Enviado desde mi GT-S5570L usando Tapatalk
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
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.

How about an insured owner that puts in a claim for a new rocket? That's the scenario that worries me if the injunction goes through
Still nothing. Insurance claims would still be honored. This would only be for new sales.
There's a slight difference, if the phone is discontinued they will provide you with a similar or upgraded phone.
This happened to 1 of the phones on my account. Put in a claim to find out they couldn't replace it with the same model but they sent me the upgraded model free of charge and was still able to keep my original upgrade date which was 6 months later.

If this goes through, I'm literally going to explode. I know Samsung will once again top Apple in the bear future. When you see an apple fan boy trying to prove that iPhones are better he/she says "just wait for the iPhone 5", but we know it won't take Samsung very long to top it. Apple makes phones only about once every two years. And the "new" phone is usually just the same phone you already had, just in a different color/with one or two additional non-groundbreaking features. Samsung is always putting out new phones, and if Samsung doesn't beat apple then HTC or Motorola will. Apple's flaw is making the same phone over ans over again so when the newest one comes out your old one is soon rendered inferior. When Samsung started making the LTE GS2, the standard GS2 still was just as durable. Samsung made the S3, and the S2 certainly isn't surpassed by it. And Samsung has a variety of phones available. With apple you only get the 1, 2, 3, or 4, but why would you get an older model iPhone? The newest one is exactly the same with an improved display and is slightly thinner.
Sorry for the rant, but this whole Apple suit has had me pissed off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
This will be overturned. The foreman was a patent holder: should not have been selected.
They also didn't even read the instructions. The damages were calculated because they wanted to punish Samsung, not compensate Apple.
Also, read up on this one court case... I can't remember the name right now. It's Someone v Borland.
