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

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.

O I C. Well I wont be jumping ship. I love my skyrocket. I think ill wait until close to Christmas. See what phones pop up around then. Looks like a killer cool device anyway.

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
Well I, like many of you, have had my phone now for just over a year and I think its about time to look for something new. Restarts are becoming increasingly frequent and my SIM tray has become exposed to the harsh world that is a pocket as my back has snapped in two. After hundreds of reflashes and ROM installs, the phone is finally starting to give in. Anyone else experiencing similar circumstances? With the last sliver of plastic barely covering my battery, I've been looking for a worthy replacement of the BEST phone I've owned to date.
So, that being said...
What phone are you guys itching to get your hands on?
For me, I obviously see the S4 as the strongest phone, spec wise, to be coming out this year but with a release date said to be sometime after May, I may need something earlier.
HTC M7- meeeeeehh. I'd get it if it was the only 1080p phone AT&T will bring in.
Any LG Phone- nope.
Xperia Z- I reaaaally like how this phone looks and with all its specs, its tops on my list. Who knows though, by the time it comes to the states, octacores will be standard and it'll sell like the x10.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4
Tablet:Nexus 7 cuz of price and space
I'm weird. I won't know until this one dies

Both of my choices are the same as the ops, but we'll see how long my rocket can hold out for
Something in early 2014. I do like Samsung but we'll see who comes out with the 2.5ghz octi-core, 20 megapixel camera, self-charging from body heat phone/tab/wallet first. lol
S4 or Nexus if it carries LTE

I've been [email protected] the Optimus G. Like the specs. Upgrade coming in May. I'll try and hold off until then. But S4 probably

Probably the S4. Maybe hold out for the Motorola X phone if it's going to have Key Lime Pie and a Maxx battery. Not in a big hurry. Loving my SR with EMBRYO-6.1

S4. Heard it's a March 22 release. 8 cores. It's gota fly.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I still think those rumors of an 8 core are false, that chip set design is VERY new. And at the earliest itll drop in may, we may see reviews and sneak peaks in March however
Maybe the next Nexus, if they're able to keep the price down again and meet demand.... or if a smaller G-Note ever comes out.
I'm in no hurry though. SlimBean has been rock solid for me. I'm also getting great speeds on T-Mo (even faster d-load speeds than my friend's G-Nex) in the Bay Area.. and I have the option to go back to ATT's LTE if I ever wanted to.
My backup phone: Samsung Rugby Smart.
Gotta be the Galaxy s4 or the next Nexus that has LTE
I think I'm holding out for the Samsung Galaxy s 4

Either the note 2 or the next iteration in the note series. I'll never buy a nexus phone, and the note screen size is too good to pass on.
with the contracts the way they are in canada, i'll be ready for the s8

very true, but I only had to get a two year "data only" plan, and I STILL had to pay $200 for the rocket. I may just buy my next phone full price off contract
Well, I've wanted this phone since it came out.. I know the S4 is out there but not for Verizon.. I'm wondering if it's worth still picking up for an extra phone to play with and root? Amazon Wireless has it for $19.99 and it's only $40/month for my plan to add a line... Worth the additional line to be able to play around with it? I know it's another contract or whatever ...

I'd take S3 over DNA anytime, but that's just my 2 cents.

its not currently, but it will be.

The S4 isn't even worth the cost to upgrade from S3. Specs need to be a lot better. Wait until fall and grab a phone with better specs then the S4

But if he waits till Q1 of next year he can get an even better spec'd phone then that!

S3 will still be a good phone for atleast another year or so, especially with the community it has. Roms keep getting better and better
Imo, I'd pay for it. The d2vzw has a huge developement community, so you'll have plenty to tinker with.
i had a craigslist ad up for 2 weeks trying to get rid of my galaxy gear for 220 or reasonable trade.

great choice. i have been using the Note 2 N7105 for more than a year now. no complaints.
awesome
That's awesome.. A fully functional phone for a crappy gear.. I personally don't really like Samsung but this deal's a wow!!!
you won.
You definately came out the winner of that trade. I fully expect that person will be suffering from "new gear regret" with a week.
Wow I see tons of people asking over $500 for a galaxy note 2! Good deal
