I have been through two Galaxy S2 Skyrockets in three days and both have been a huge disappointment. The first one had problems with the speaker and had to be replaced while the second one simply died the day after I got it. I do not reccomend this phone to ANYONE.
Cons: Did not meet expectations

Great performance, poor screen quality.

The phone is fast, efficient, and very responsive. It functions great! But I have a huge problem with the screen quality. I enjoy watching videos on my phone at night while relaxing in bed. Unfortunately it looks terrible when viewing in a dark/dim room. The screen display has hundreds of fine, vertical, "ghost lines" (a pattern similar to that of wood grain), running lengthwise across the screen and looks awful, especially when the screen is dimmed (as it should be when viewing in a dim room, if you care about your vision). After some research, I discovered that many others are experiencing the same problem, and yet some have found a phone without the issue after poking through dozens of brand new Skyrocket boxes. Sounds like a "defect" if you ask me. What a shame, considering how awesome the phone functions otherwise. Fix the screens, please?
Pros: Lightweight, fast, fantastic web browsing
Cons: Did not meet expectations, poor screen quality

Phone with good features and no battery life..

Posted by: kv120cc
The worst battery life i have ever seen on a smart phone. With wifi and data plan off i am getting 6-8 hrs of battery life.
When i dont touch the phone at all, let say i keep the fully charged phone idle with out touching it i get around 15 Hrs battery.
Be careful when choosing this phone.
Cons: poor battery life
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Although this phone is really fast, it is not durable. The phone is too big and barely fits in front pockets/hands. Also, the android market has limited apps. My phone fell while I was unloading the car unto concrete (while it was in a fairly protective case -- otter box) and the screen completely shattered! Since this phone is relatively new, not many repair shops have the means to fix it. Plus, the price to replace the screen is almost as expensive as the phone itself. I would not recommend this phone to anyone.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Too big, not durable, limited apps, expensive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product is not worth it.
on January 14, 2012

I purchased one of these phones, and although I loved it, in less than a month the USB port corroded and I needed to replace it. The new phone was the same type, but this one corroded in 3 weeks. Needless to say, I did not get another one. I had never had a problem with corrosion with any of my other phones. It's a great phone, but it is not worth the money spent. I should not have to replace my phone every month or so due to what I feel is low quality.
Pros: Realistic color, fast
Cons: prone to corrosion, does not last long, expensive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cannot directly sync with your pc to download contacts, calendars, etc. and cannot save attachments

Great hardware. Beautiful screen. Fast. Slim. Lightweight.
Terrible as a "smart"phone. As a former Blackberry user, this phone is for children or non-business users.
Cannot directly connect your phone to your pc to download Outlook contacts, calendars, etc.
Cannot download any attachments to your phone without buying a third party upgrade.
Can't change your email ringtone or turn it off.
Shall I go on?
