Best phone on the market
on November 10, 2011

Expertise:Expert
Pros:
Screen (4.5" Super AMOLED Plus)
Processor (same processor from the original GS2, except clocked at 1.5Ghz)
LTE and HSPA+ on AT&T's network
Camera (8mp with led flash on rear, 2mp on front)
Voice (very clear speaker)
Speakers
Design (size, shape, weight)

Camera (8mp with led flash on rear, 2mp on front)
Voice (very clear speaker)
Speakers
Design (size, shape, weight)
Cons:
Design (Although I enjoy the size, shape, and weight; I find the design of the back to be a little on the dull side. The original GS2 has a carbon imprint which looked good and gave good grip)
Lack of accessories (This isn't really a complaint against the phone, it is only due to the phone being so new. I would like some type of case to give this phone a little more grip)

Summary:
I wrote out my pros and cons, because I wanted to explain why I like/dislike a feature, not only list it.
The GS2 is considered the best phone on the market. Well, the Skyrocket moves Samsung even further into the lead. The skyrocket adds LTE, a faster processor, larger (beautiful) screen, all while retaining a good price. The product is available on AT&T whom has the fastest LTE network in the US. This will only get better as AT&T expands it's true 4G network. I absolutely love everything about this phone. While no phone is perfect, I do have a couple complaints, but nothing that harms this phone's reputation.
Samsung has been a hit or miss for me in the past. While I loved and still love everything about the Samsung Focus, the reception of the phone killed it for me. Same story with the Captivate or original Galaxy S.
The Samsung Infuse was a hit, for a little anyway. It suffered from the same reception issues I had with the previous Samsung devices I used. It also was just a bit glitchy in my opinion.
Then Samsung changed my opinion by introducing me to the Galaxy S 2. This phone had really improved it's reception, lost the glitches from the Infuse and blew everyone's mind on how great a phone it was.
What more could Samsung do? Well, I wouldn't expect them to do ANYMORE. I was surprised to hear the announcement of the Skyrocket. I ran out to get one on release day. This is the best phone on the market, hands down. It does everything right. If you choose any other phone over this guy, you will may not be disappointed, but you will regret your decision.

Excellant phone in from Samsung so far

Been using this phone since about a week and so far it has been a pleasant experience. Overall build quality and performance is better than all the smartphones currently available in market. The 1.5GHz dual core processor really does magic played a 1080p movie and it loaded right away, even moving back-n-forth within the movie was flawless. Image quality is impressive and so are the (front & back) cameras. Although the NFC feature is currently disabled I will be looking forward for Samsung (& AT&T) to enable that feature. Accessories at this time are very limited but hopefully Samsung soon launches docks and battery chargers and other value adding items.
Compared it with Motorola Atrix and HTC Vivid, this one wins the test/s.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight

I started with the Galaxy S2 but when the Skyrocket was released 2 weeks later I made the switch. I was already hooked with the S2 so getting the Skyrocket was a no brainer. I live in a LTE area so I am enjoying super fast speeds! All I can say is WOW!!!

OK OK, so I'm a believer...

I purchased this phone as an upgrade to my iPhone 3S that I've had for 2 years. I LOVE LOVE LOVED my 16 GB iPhone. I had every intention of upgrading to the iPhone 4S because its the only one I could get in a 16GB. The salesman talked me into this phone...it was $50 less and he told me I had 30 days to return it (less a $25 restocking fee) if I just didn't like it. I reluctantly agreed to give it a go. WOW. My relationship with my phone started off rocky. I had no idea how to use it. It seemed awkward in my hand because it is quite a bit larger than my iPhone. Once I downloaded the user manual and started playing with it, I am very happy with the speed and quality of this phone. Also, something like 85% of the apps are free. The dual camera and picture quality is amazing. I love the swipe features. I'm still getting used to texting on this phone, but overall, the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocker has made a believer out of me.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, camera, speed, screen clarity/sharpness
Cons: battery life, large size took getting used to.

Universal phone

Recently changed changed phones from using a iphone. Have always been drawn to apple products for the design and simple functionality. However recently decided to make a change and go with an android. From the start this phone has been awesome, from the 4.5 inch screen (amoled plus) to the response system on the phone. The phone has been super fast, and nothing but amazing. The only 2 down sides about the phone is the battery life which was the same with the apple phone. In addition the lack of accessories out for the device. Overall I have been astonished,and happy with my 360 change.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: flimsy back, batterie life

upgraded from an iphone 4. This phone is everything I really wanted from the new iphone 5 that I was hoping to come out. LTE 4g, big screen, 1gb ram. dual core 1.5
But the 4s was a bit short. The only set back was some ios apps I used to have and loved. But most features ex. Itunes sync can be done with other apps. So i'm very satisfied with this device.
