Skyrocket is an S2. Need to go to the S3 forums and ask there. And almost no one here will recommend you go to Iphone unless they hate you.

Its an interesting question and honestly there isnt anything WRONG with the iPhone 5, but it comes down to, do i want to spend $180 , or save that $$$$ and get something like the Skyrocket or S3 which is just as good if not better.
Im not gonna sit here and bash the iPhone because it is a good product, but like most apple products are not cost effective.
Save that money and buy groceries or something with it man.

My friend has an S3. He went over to his parent's house recently after his dad bought an iPhone5. They did some comparisons and then my friend laughed as his dad rather sullenly acknowledged that the S3 was easily the superior phone.
my impressions when comparing said phones
galaxy s=iphone 4
galaxy s2=iphone 5
galaxy s2sr=iphone 6?
small screens suck for a smartphone, apple should of went larger on their screens and to mention that we can mod the frack out of our phones.
people still cant believe how nice it is to view the browser on my sr w/the larger screen compared to their iphone 5, compare the 5 to the s3....fugetaboutit

Your just about spot on. I don't "hate" the iPhone, I just find that it is more of a child's toy than the rest. However back to the OP.
Keep the SR for now, wait until next quarter when "supposedly" the S IV is supposed to be released. However having both the S2 SR, and the S 3, I love the S 3 immensely over the SR.
xxsicknessxx--do you have an SR now, or the regular S2? If you have the regular S2, moving to the SR isn't worth it. If you already have the SR and are thinking of the S3, I would just wait and upgrade to an S4 when it comes out. In the meantime, root and flash a ROM on your phone. It will give your phone some new life, IMO. :good:
As for the iPhone 5, to each their own, but it would feel like a letdown for me if I were to move to that.
My gf S3 on stock ICS(haven't updated to JB as yet) is a bit laggy, but I have played with my friends S3 with a custom rom and it's definitely worth it. I personally would wait for the next waves of phone releases though. They are definitely worth the wait.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
That's why I was suggesting to root and flash a ROM, especially if that ROM is JB. My wife also has a SR, and after putting a ROM in mine (CM10 stable), has no lag, while hers feels sluggish with stock ICS. A wipe/factory reset might help hers a little, but seeing the TW skin and all the carrier bloat turns me off.
Woah woah woah now. I stopped reading anything below the op as soon as gee asked about the iphone 5 lol...... Really op? Why do you have an xda account everyone here is droid nerds

I can't believe I'm not in a hurry to jump ship to the Galaxy S2. The Cappy has been such a good experience as a phone and it's still able to do whatever I need it to do. When the Fuze came out I couldn't help but be there the first day to pick one up. I was compelled to have the latest and greatest, and the abilities a new smartphone would allow. The same happened the release day of the Captivate.
Sure, it's had its issues (GPS and capped data speeds come to mind) but between the performance of hardware and the constant ROM updates from the dev community, I just don't feel that compulsion to move on from the Captivate. For me it's been a great phone and it's made me a big fan of Samsung's products. Oh I'll get a Galaxy S2 here in a month or two when the price comes down a bit. But I'm still happy with my Captivate and I'll keep it around as a backup.
ditto
i will likely wait until december unless the deal is too good to pass up.
Want to see what develops with the nexus prime.
Some info claims it will be a Verizon Exclusive but i am skeptical. I think that it is more likely we will see it launch exclusively on verizon with a 30-60 window before other carriers get it....so i am not giving up on the prime....the solid metal body construction alone will be worth the wait...just hope ATT gets it.

That is what has my attention as well...Galaxy Note.
I don't feel the need to upgrade from my Captivate either. Its a weird feeling, I use to be such a phone whore, now I look at new phones and feel they can't do a whole lot for me (personally, I know the phones are actually huge upgrades) that my Captivate can't do.
I HATE how ALL of the new phones being announced are so huge! 4.3" isn't TOO bad, but I do prefer my 4" screen. They're just getting bigger too, I want the Nexus Prime so badly, but there's no way I'm getting it with a 4.65" screen. My upgrade isn't until May 2012 and I'm questioning if there will even be a phone out there I like by then.

I'm with you guys. Once the GS II finally came out, I am not as excited. The last ROM I put on is great and until that note comes out, paying 200 for the GS2 isn't so alluring.
Especially with LTE on horizon and the Note, which will be awesome.
It's like an old friend, even knowing something is better out there, I'm not ready to trade in my old worn in shoes

The article says 4.6". It may not be so bad since that probably includes the buttons at the bottom, I'll just have to see it in person, but I still think it will be a very large device.
I'm a captivate owner and I really love it. I will not change it in a while..
The only two things that I don't really like in Captivate are very bad sensitive buttons (well, I replaced screen after it was broken, and than buttons were like that) and very bad battery life, especially with MIUI
But speed and functionality are just grear. And still love the screen with maximum brightness. I think I will buy Galaxy Note or Nexus Prime, will see...
I'm with you guys, but not by choice. I have a contract to fulfil.

I'll also be waiting for the Note.
I just looked up the Galaxy Note. Wow...! That thing looks amazing. It might be just a bit too big but I'm really considering jumping on that.
I'm with you guys. There is no real reason to upgrade just yet. With a good custom ROM (Cog5), it does everything I ask of it, and does it quickly. The screen is just amazing, and only the SAMOLED Plus beats it, if you ask me. Since I'm not on contract, I can switch when I want, but I see nothing out there I just gotta have. The Prime may change that, but if it is CDMA, then I'm out. Big Red is too expensive for my blood.

I'd really recommend getting the Galaxy SII (not Skyrocket).
Just. Plain. Old. Sexy. Classy. SII.
The Skyrocket has a larger screen (4.5"), but from what I hear, it seems to have a few more issues than the SII original. Regardless, I still hear it's a great phone, but I think as far as getting future updates and Samsung support, original Galaxy SII is the safest bet.
If you really want a huge phone, look at the Galaxy Note.
And... Stay away from the Infuse. It's considered really old and outdated now. Yes, it's still a perfectly usable phone and it performs everyday tasks wonderfully. But when you can get the SII now for $100 or less, I just don't see why you'd want to lock into 2 years with a phone that is already a year old.
Plus, if you're a gamer, you definitely want to go with SII and not the Infuse. The RAM difference makes some games not be "compatible" with the Infuse.
To be honest, stay away from Samsung phones. I have two, a captivate and a infuse. I'm over Samsung because of the way they shelve their phones after a couple of months and all the problems in their software. I bought an Atrix 2 and its the best phone i have ever had. At first i wasnt sure about it because its a moto phone. Now that i have had it awhile i recommend this phone to anyone. Best battery life, 4 gb of space for apps and i got an over the air update on the second day of me having the phone. Its on the list for a ics update too. I have not had one single problem with this phone. Just my opinion but i would not get a samsung.

I guess I'm a Samsung fan boy. I have always had a Samsung, even before smart phones. I had a Captivate which I gave to my wife when I went with an Infuse. Really love the big screen and I would get a Note if I had the money.....Really doesn't matter if AT&t never pushes out any updates, because I am running CM7.
I recommend the Galaxy S II (i777). I like the Infuse and Skyrocket, but the i777 is perfect. I'd also recommend the Skyrocket over the Infuse, purely because of the RAM difference. The Infuse can't be my daily device, because I need more RAM. So, in my opinion . . .
Galaxy S II (i777) > Skyrocket > Infuse
Samsung may have its issues with software, but theres no denying that their products are well made. Almost everything in my house is made by Samsung. They never die.
That aside, what is your budget and requirements? If you have the money and like the size, get a Note. I've heard nothing but good things about it and developers here are already playing with it. There doesn't seem to be any love for the Skyrocket though. If you're strapped for cash, I'd definately look into the Infuse. The price fluctuates from $50 to free sometimes, so you might get a great deal on one. It's one of the best phones I've ever had. All of the software issues have already been resolved by the devs here. While it may be a little dated by 2012 standards, it handles almost everything I throw at it and you just can't brick it. That's something those ****ty HTCs and Motorolas can't claim.

Not bad
The infuse is a nice phone from what I have experienced. Doesn't look like it will get CM9 though so I would avoid it.
The screen is absolutely beautiful despite it's pitiful resolution. The colors are stunning and viewable from all angles making pictures better looking than what you took a picture of! Also sometimes I forget I am reading off of my phone when using google books and think it's my kindle.
RAM is pitiful (512?! Really Samsung??) but the phone operates smoothly despite.
Battery life is better than anything HTC has to offer.
I am personally looking for an Atrix 4g and it's laptop dock. Pretty sweet combo.

So bought my Skyrocket back in october the first day it was released, dont get me wrong, i love the phone, but I recently moved on. 2 weeks ago I bought a galaxy note after trying a friends for awhile and grew to love the size. After using my note for 2 weeks I cant see having a use for my old skyrocket, especially since holding it in my hand makes it feel small. I cant imagine going back to anything smaller which sucks, but I love it for the time being. Anyways I got off work today and met up with someone on craigslist who bought my skyrocket, so I just wanted to say thank you everyone for al the help, glad you guys finally got ICS, and hope that us note users get it soon too.
Good bye, you lucky bastard.

Skyrocket feels small? Really? Been two months and it still feels like I'm holding a surfboard. Hopefully I'll get used to it.
Enjoy the Note.
I actually went from the SR to the note and came back to the SR. I found the size made things like taking pictures, docking, finding a decent case, and even privacy with people being more able to see my screen too much. Traded it for a SR, ipod touch, camera, and some wii games for my kid.
Bedt decision I made.
Hopefully you like it and don't end up regretting it like I did! Good luck!

Been there. I just couldn't handle the two-handed operation and risk dropping it when I tried using it one-handed. The case I bought did enhance the grip but it didn't make enough of a difference. Plus it was heavier, some apps didn't line up correctly with that resolution and the lag was noticeable even after I swapped kernels.
That said, if my wife still complains about her iphone and the new SR HD or SGS3 isn't out yet, I may need to repurchase a Note and pass my SR to her. Purely out of necessity though.
The note is a nice piece of hardware, but like others have said. It's a bit too big. I think the 4.5" to 4.65" range is as big as a smartphone should be.
I'm 6 foot 1 and have big hands and I find it sometimes hard to use my SR with one hand. I can't even imagine a 5.3" screen.
Its funny you mention it being laggier, for some reason my stock SR did 1800-2200 quadrant, then 2800-3100 with faux kernal. My note constantly hits 3100 stock. I know others have complained about lag issues, but guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Waiting for a ICS leak before i root it

But the Note's a great (big) phone so congrats. I felt like it was too big when I played with it, but I bet if I had it for a week I'd get pretty used to the size and spoiled by that big screen. And my DrawSomething compositions would be epic.

I've been on Android since release date of the G1 and it was always annoying to see EVERYONE with that other phone, but since the s3 has launched I see nothing but the s3! Off the top of my head I count 8 people with the s3 (myself included) and another with a note 2 and plenty more eyeing the s3. I have 1 friend with a 5 phone and even he is getting fed up with that but he doesn't like the feel of Android, blah blah blah. In fact I've only seen one 5 in public. It's a bit refreshing now lol.
Have any of you experienced this?
Edit: My friend just moved back to CA after leaving the army, both him and his wife have the S3 (upgrade from iphones) and I noticed my new manager has a blue s3 sooo the count is up to 11. I'm still not seeing the 5 as much as figures would state.

Agreed. Finally everyone is starting to learn and pick up on the advantages of android. More so, the sgs3 seems to get many compliments. I've talked to many iphone users that mention the sgs3 and how they're thinking about the switch. I really think people are getting tired of the same old boring ios.
I don't know how much of an impact this actually had, but the S3 was the last phone unlimited data users on verizon could upgrade to at a subsidized price. I feel this added to the perfect storm that was the S3's rise to popularity. I see them everywhere.

So true....I personally know 5 people who own an S3. Seems to be about on par with how many iphone 5 users i know. Probably less actually, a few of them still have the 4s. (only other android phone I've owned where i noticed the same was back in the OG Evo days, some of these people still own one)
Two other people i know had an S3 but thought the phone was too big for their hands. One was my gf who i gladly traded my G Nex to. The other was my co worker, who upgraded from a 4s. He said the size and the fact that he couldnt group message with his iFriends made him switch to the 5. (rediculous i know)
I was very close this weekend to purchasing either the Note 2 or the Droid DNA. I just couldn't do it. The Note 2 just seems too big to fit in my jeans comfortably. The lack of an SD slot and removable battery is keeping me from the DNA. Definitely made me appreciate the S3 more.
Ive noticed the s3 creeping up on the iPhone with popularity. Most of the people I know still own iPhones which imho is an inferior machine. Ive seen the note 2 become pretty popular as well.
I'm just glad that Android is getting such a popular light lately. I really love my GSIII, but I am not brand specific. Many iPhone 5 users are typical sheep to climb the iPhone ladder. I had an OG Droid before getting the GSIII, and it was a huge leap for me as far as hardware upgrading. I waited and waited for the perfect phone to have exactly what I was looking for.There were like 3 phones I almost got before I held on and got the Galaxy. Same will happen when it's time to move to something new.
I'm happy that Apple's reign is over, though. Android is like that girl you know on the side, but you had been chasing down all of the wrong girls that treat you like **** and only stayed for sex. Then you realize that one girl was there all along and you ignored her. You finally saw her in the light as the one who was by your side and waited for you, and you two finally connect that feeling of love that had been there all along. This is what iPhone users are starting to feel.
Samsung really has done something genius with these new ads they push out. That's what's pulling in the iPhone people.

Only 2 people I have seen with an iPhone 5 are my aunt and friend from high school who are die hard apple fans. Like seriously. No reasoning with them. Both even think android copied apple by the pull down notification and that by having the ability to change anything from icon to launcher is too much freedom.
Its like then why are you living in america, Russia or China sound like the place for you.

Ever since the s3 came into my life I consume 4-5gb of data a month. I will never give up the unlimited data!
My brother has a 4s and it feels like a small calculator or remote ha.
And people that like iOS should come to android and use miui which gives a better iOS expirence!

I know what you mean lol. I don't think it's the it phone yet but it's getting there. I see it often when I'm out in public somebody has my phone and it makes me feel good. iPhone still the king but Sammy did great with the S3 series. Time to capitalize with the S4 next.

Hey guys, I believe this is my first post.
I've had a Nexus S 4G since last March and Sprint is telling me that I'm eligible for an upgrade. My wife doesn't seem to want to get a new phone so I'm thinking about giving her my Nexus S and getting a new one for me.
I'm looking at the LG Optimus G and the Galaxy Nexus. The biggest thing drawing me to the GNex is it's fairly similar to the Nexus S, and I love that phone. Would just like the GNex for the faster processor and more space. The Optimus G looks interesting because it seems to be the CDMA version of the Nexus 4, but the glass casing and terrible LG updates are making me second guess.
I've also noticed the the development for the Optimus seems stale, maybe since it's so new. Where on the other side, I already know that the development for the GNex is huge.
Thoughts, opinions, flames, whatever you want to bring to the table, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
be like everyone else and just get the s3

Okay, after some research and finding out that the Optimus G does not have a removable battery, that one is definitely off the table.
I seriously may consider the GS3. I just love the Nexus devices so much though. The GNex seems to me like a Nexus S on steroids.
I'll see. Gonna go look at some tonight and see what kind of deals people have. I know the old lady wants a GS3 so I may surprise her with one.
only android?
or you are looking for something else?
you cant go wrong with a gs3..and if you wanna root and mod it,this is the place to be with your gs3
bear in mind also if u plan to use LTE support, different country, uses different band and make sure u get the right phones, i got an LG optimus, and my provided provide a different LTE band... suck...
go for Galaxy Nexus you won't regret it.
Well the galaxy nexus gsm version is the best phone I used so far. But I heard bad things about the CDMA version such as potentially poor signal, much slower official updates compared to the gsm version and less battery life. Don't forget the Galaxy Nexus will have the widest variety of third party os roms such as firefox and upcoming Ubuntu and Tizen.
The Galaxy S3 might be a better choice if you don't need as cutting edge roms and updates though. It has excellent camera, microsd slot, longer battery, slightly better screen and beret sound quality (either the us or international version). I'm disappointed with the built quality though and the Nexus built is definitely better even if not great. Also you should read the thread about many people getting sudden death issue with their 16gb S3 due to failed nand, but I guess you're okay if you have sprint warranty.

If u have big hands try note2
But if u have small hands then s3 will be fine for u
If u are going to root it then there is no reason for buying nexus phone......

I do not used a touch screen phone one handed, it's a very slow way of controlling when my index finger can move faster and is more flexible than my thumb.
