I dont know if anyone else can confirm this, but my boy works for tmobile and has the SGSII. He said they made him get a new, different looking sim card for his phone that someone takes advantage of their faster internet service.
I rooted his SSGSII and used tethering on his laptop and was CONSISTENTLY getting 8-10 mbps down and 2.5-3 up........and we were INSIDE his apartment, away from the front window.
It blew my mind, seriously.
Anyone else heard of this?

All you had to do was say it was made by Qualcomm.Originally Posted by mp3911
The Skyrocket has a Snapdragon processor, compared with the OG's Exynos, which is a lot faster even clocked lower than the Snapdragon.Originally Posted by Mastamind89
They have the same processor but the Skyrocket is clocked at 1.5GHz which allows it to do more. It also has a bigger battery but besides that they are the same phone except for the LTE. If you are in a 4G area or a soon to be, I would utilize it, you can always turn it off. As of now, there is no 4G charge if I'm correctOriginally Posted by flipzahoy
yeah i was thinking about that also, but online its $50 cheaper than the original gs ii. seems like a better deal down the line, also thinking bout resale valuehavent really had experience with a 4.5 screen so ill probably go to an att store today and check it out.

The Sensation is nice, but the T-Mobile GSII is nicer.

The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket will have a bigger screen 4.5" and a faster dual core processor 1.5 ghz versus 1.2 Ghz.
The advantage of AT&T LTE over Verizon's is that when out of range of LTE the phones will go to HSPA+ which is almost as fast as LTE anyway. SO basically you'll be going from True 4G (LTE) to faux-4G (HSPA+). When out of the LTE coverage on Verizon you go from True 4G to EVDO.
wha the heeell? why release so fast?
