Appartently some people are saying the "screen" is not good...


I don't have any issues, nor do any of the 10 buddies of mine who own the same phone..

I was skeptical about switching from iPhone 4 to the Skyrocket due to its enormous size difference. After using for a day or two, I got used to it and the 4.5 inch screen really made a difference for me. However if you're switching from an OGS2, then it won't be that big of a difference but still good.

Girlfriend has the 4s, and she doesnt need to ask siri which is a better phone. i have had both att gs2's. The skyrocket is faster but the other is more refined. i like them both, but like skyrock speed

hey, my dad actually has the iphone 4 and he says all the time "hey whats that on your phone" because this phone is just so capable. I came a Sony arc and the speed alone should be enough to get this phone

Camera is awesome.. this phone is awesome.. buy the phone and have fun.

24-28 hours on LTE?
I'm impressed.

May I ask what ROM you are using that achieves this battery life?

I have the Skyrocket and overall I think I made a mistake getting it.

** The skyrocket is a hastily put together phone. The plain SGS II is actually a better built phone. Even the Captivate was a much better built phone.

**The only reason for the Skyrocket hardware is to enable LTE for AT&T. The plain SGS II gives you 4G which should be more than enough, since LTE IS NOT AVAILABLE at most areas.

** The plain SGS II has far superior screen resolution.

** The exynos processor in plain SGS II even at 1.2 GHz is so much better.

** Unless you ABSOLUTELY want LTE, Skyrocket has not shattering advantage.

** The Skyrocket HD of course is a different question altogether.

** AND the HTC One X has the same specs as Skyrocket, with a HD screen and may be something to consider. Check this phone out too. http://www.mobilenapps.com/articles/...e-att-may.htm#

Good luck !

Sorry, I think all ur main points are wrong frankly.

1) Build quality and quality control of the skyrocket has been excellent so far

2) I have access to 4g and LTE everywhere I go in all of Ontario, and let me tell u for what I use my phone for, late makes a WORLd or difference, 4g isnt even in the same league. This us basically just ur opinion

3) better screen resolution? where'd u find this info? link please?

4) find benchmarks showing me that exynos slaps the S3 1.5, please. Cuz I guarantee u won't. Sure if all u do is run benchmarks all day, yeah ifs faster. but in real world use u won't even be able to notice the difference. I'll take a pentaband radio that I can use on any carrier over 5% not even noticeable performance increase.

5) again ur opinion, see second point

6) skyrocket HD is same phone, better screen... so I don't understand this one

7). HTC One X has no SD card slot for expandable storage and lacks a removable battery, HUGE turnoffs for me ans several other users here, plus its HTC, and it may or may not come with a locked boot loader. Our dev took off out of the box, becuz we had no obstacles. Sammy's are definately the best for custom stuff.
