I went into at&t today planning to purchase the S2 but the guy in front of me bought the last one so i went with the skyrocket in white. I love the screen size and the color and visual voicemail (i hate Google voice sorry) and im not really noticing any lag etc and the data is definitely faster than my iphone 4s. My area is nowhere near getting lte so thats not a concern.. I want ics as quickly as possible so my question is will the skyrocket or sgs2 more likely get ics first and is there anything im really missing with the skyrocket vs the sgs2? Thanks in advance guys.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
the gs2(att) will get it first because its close to the original GS2, skyrocket doesnt really have a widely avaliable model out.
The gs2 will more than likely have it before the skyrocket due to the ability to port from the Int'l GS2 and support from CM....and the only thing your missing between the skyrocket and gs2 is the skyrocket sucks
There are already several people that have ICS running (partially) on the i777. It will be a long time before the skyrocket see that.
But, at least you have 30 days to let them get one in stock.

So you bought the iPhone 4s and didn't like it. So you took it back which cost $35 and upgraded to the skyrocket? I'm sorry but the only phone I would have other than the 4s is the sgs2. I had the skyrocket and let me tell you, in about a week you'll regret that swap. I had the skyrocket and totally hated it. They throttle lte, the resolution is a joke, the battery(don't get me started). Anyway sgs2 will get ics first IMO. I have the sgs2 now and I'm good for a while.

did the skyrocket kill your dog, rape your mom and **** on your cheerios? wtf?
i have seen some lame arguments 'against' it that dont mean anything. since i have both of them and use them side by side, i can honestly say that the only differences are with the thickness of the device. running touchwiz rom on both at the same time (obviously, not stock) feels the same. they both react the same as an OS, they both have the same OS features. One has LTE and the other is faster in benchmarks.....woohoo, i can run friggin benchmarks all day long and it doesnt mean anything. LTE allows me to view the web faster, OGGS2 allows me the freedom of tons of mods/development already done for the device.
at the end of the day, they are both good devices and haters gotta stop hatin so hard. save your hatred for Apple fanbois...lol

Well after waiting what seems like forever for ICS I just finally bit the bullet and bought a Galaxy Nexus. I can say without a doubt that I will NEVER buy a branded phone again.
Its so awesome having a factory unlocked device that comes with ALL original accessories and NO bloatware crap, in the intended packaging. Jeez. I was really disappointed with what ATT did to the sgs2. Also I hate how the resale of US phones are CRAP. I was having a great time taking care of and flipping my iPhones every year. Boy was I surprised when I came to Android. With an international, hard to come by phone like the Nexus, resale will stay high until I want to upgrade to something better.
I am totally happy with my purchase so far. The phone really is great and the build quality and design is superior to the sgs2. The screen is really excellent despite all the negativity I read about the pentile display. Yes ICS is the majority of the reason the phone is so great, but I would still chose it over the sgs2.
Good luck to you guys, hopefully an official ICS leak comes out soon because you really are missing out on a lot.

This came out sounding like a brag thread when in reality I am just suggesting that you guys consider importing international phones. They are the real deal and updates come 6 months before US, fake, counterparts.

When sgs3 gets announced I will sell my Nexus here in the US for top dollar and import the sgs3 and have it 6 months before anyone in the US. It will also be factory unlocked and hold a way higher value than the US versions AND ill get Google updates 6 months sooner.

Because it will be 150 more and they have to order from over seas and deal with all that. A lot of people are impatient and want something they can get locally.
A lot of people won't know what the hell a sgs3 is when it drops and still think the Nexus is god when I go to sell it....

Just what I noticed. I'm thankful for my S2 and I love it. I'll buy an S3 a short while after their price goes down. The Gnex is dropping in value, just like all phones. I've sold each one of my devices for nearly what I pay for them.

I have to agree Craigslist has gotten worse over time. I use to be able to sale something and get most of what I spent on it, but now I only get about a fraction. But, I don't entirely blame Craigslist for this, I have come to realize android phones really do not retain there value well because the sheer number of them in the market. I know bringing up Apple may get me flamed but Igadgets do fare a lot better on Craigslist even after the next iteration is released. And yes I own a Note and an IPad 3/hd/New.. Are what ever their calling it now....hahaha

Other than the awesome camera, and slim unibody design, this Evo LTE really isn't that much better than my old Photon. I'll probably feel differently when LTE is live, but considering there's not even WiMax in Wisconsin, it wasn't that much of an upgrade.
However, Sprint made a mistake and said I was eligible for an upgrade 7 months into my 2 yr contract, and my charging port on the Photon broke...so I'm not really complaining
Basically, if it's time to upgrade, go for it...but if your phone is only a year old, or less, I'd wait - unless you're in a first wave LTE market.

I get what the op is saying about the not worth it if the phone you have is a yr old or less. He is one of the few people that obviously don't upgrade to every increment.
And that he liked his photon enough just like a lot on the 3d couldn't see the point in upgrading to this email phone. Now until we get some hd apps other then hulu the screen is nice. I netflix hd would be a improvement as well as hulu in hd. I have no clue what performance is like on the photon. When it came out it was full of lag. And besides he was giving his thoughts switching from one to another right place meh maybe he could have put it I will another thread bu yeab.

That's how I feel when ppl say stuff like this.. Besides the lack of LTE atm what phone hardware wise is better.. Even with the gs3 u may get more ram (which is nice) but u lose the metal unibody and overall better build
This phone is a major step up from most of Motorola's phones which use crappy screens.

Cause TW is garbage. Plus Sammy = slower than balls w/ updates. To me the S4/Adreno 225 isn't that huge of a boost to warrant being stuck on a carrier controlled device. Yeah they say it does better in benches but I could care less. Tried my friends AT&t OneX and it was laggy to the max.
Really hate to see you leave, as i currently use your ROM, and its amazing. I have had this phone for only 3months, and was looking like there was hope for good developers on it, and now everyone's bailing out for the S3/Nexus. :-( guess I need to buckle down and learn to create ROMs myself.

The Nexus camera isn't that bad, still gets the job done nicely.

+1, plus if I really need to take good pictures, I'll bring my real camera. The Nexus is much better than I expected.

Not gonna lie, moving to the Nexus was worth it on so many levels, really reminded me of how badly skinned Android sucks. Stock GNex blew away any custom ROM here, no offense devs.
Then there's Jelly Bean.....

Whats good enough for you is not for me. My brother has a nexus since day 1, the camera is essentially unusable, especially under low light conditions. Its not even considerable for taking any kind of pictures worth saving. The rezound camera is top tier in comparison. And i snap a ton of pics. If this werent the case, im sure i'd be very pleased with the nexus, but the camera is a deal breaker.

Another Nexus vs Rezound thread go!
I just think its funny, the power of marketing can pull people off a superior phone in terms of hardware just by hyping up an inferior phone and allowing more wide open software development. .........but when we get source what will be the difference? I dunno guys, I'm pretty happy with this phone and I really don't like these goodbye forums. It gives the illusion that something is wrong with the rezound and further perpetuates the hype and needs to stop.

Don't think they're implying there's anything wrong with the phone. But everyone knows there's something wrong w/ the Rezound's community/forums. That + dying development is imo pretty legit reasons for wanting to change phones. Hard to pass up the Jelly Bean!.

There is something wrong with the rezound, the community for it is dead and it doesnt look good at all for the future of the phone. Most people who are on XDA want to own a phone with a strong community, Rezound is furthest from it. I am waiting for the Note 2 and im done with the rezound at that point.
Thanks for the heads up. You've contributed a lot to the Rezound community.

This looks like its going to be a beast of a phone. Are these specs even necessary? Probably not but its still awesome.

"D" for Droid, "L" to designate a large screen, 4.7"+, and an "X" as in based on the One X, or just to indicate another flagship model via the same letter.
Will probably have a street name of Droid Lightning. My guesses for now. :silly:
Maybe htc version of the note? :silly:

Thunderbolt variant actually looks like a rezound variant by the ver number
I really hope it's the version of the note that was rumored. The note variant is the only device I've heard having a 1080p screen.

I meant the note variant is the only 1080p phone I've seen rumored by HTC.

This matches up with leaked specs for HTC's new 5" phone.
Those benchmarks look great, but I think I'll wait until we get screenshots and more info (SD card? Removable battery?) before I think about jumping ship or not.

At least you have a choice. Being a teenager I can't afford to buy an off contract phone and still keep up with paying for the part of the plan I pay for.
I guess I need to start thinking about carrying a murse (man purse) around with all these huge screens coming out, or maybe a fanny pack, or a belt holster . Or maybe those huge rave pants will become trendy again...

I hope it does have removable memory and removable battery but won't bug me to much if it doesn't have a removable battery if it's a good size. I think all HTC devices on VZW have those things and maybe could be a requirement for HTC devices on VZW? Plus the Dinc 4G did and that's a variant of the one series.

or, you could buy a smaller screen phone. Just because a 5" phone comes out, doesn't mean you have to buy it.
