Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket Reviews

CNET
"If you live in an area that gets AT&T's LTE network, we highly recommend the powerful and beautiful Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket."
Engadget
"This one, the Galaxy S II Skyrocket, offers a larger display and "true" 4G connectivity using LTE -- yes, it's a pioneer blazing a new trail to Ma Bell's wild and untamed frontier, right alongside the HTC Vivid."
Techno Buffalo
"Of course, we cover all the relevant bullet points for those considering the Skyrocket. One big thing to keep in mind is that the device will be Ice Cream Sandwich ready, although no release timeframe has been nailed down as of yet."
Android Central
"The Skyrocket stays faithful to the Galaxy S II line, offering the same (or better) performance and an identical user experience."
Android Community
"Dying to get on the AT&T LTE bandwagon, but prefer your phone to have some Samsung wizardry instead of HTC sensibility? Then take a look at the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket."
Brighthand
"The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket is one of the few smartphones available that can connect to AT&T's 4G LTE service."
Business Insider
"But other than a faster processor, larger screen, and LTE, not much has changed from the original AT&T model of the Galaxy S II."
Mobile Burn
"Though the Skyrocket shares many similarities with the previous models, especially the version carried by T-Mobile, it has one key differentiator."
Laptop Mag
"The AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket features everything we like about Samsung's flagship Android phone, and adds blazing LTE speeds."
PCMag
"The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket offers blistering LTE data speeds, a massive screen, and very fast dual-core performance."
Phone Arena
"Sporting a $249.99 on-contract price, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket just might make those early adopters of the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II boil over with regret because the Skyrocket packs support for AT&T's 4G LTE network."
GSMArena
"If you find the device looks somewhat familiar, there is a good reason for it. The Skyrocket is almost 100% identical to the T-Mobile Galaxy S II, which we came to like quite a lot."
