good phone
Phone owned for more than a year

I've had this phone for a long time. (about a year). Its been a good phone. the build quality is kind of cheap. reception seems good enough. call quality is ok best with headphones. Internet works great. Camera is actually pretty good though there is a annoying dark spot that always shows up on my pictures and i did clean it recently. it is quite fast. the battery is pretty good. and I am running 4.4.4 kitkat. I cracked my screen. i have noticed that the screen isn't as good as everyone says hard to see in direct sunlight. after a year now.

Awesome phone - LTE!!
Phone owned for more than a year

This was the LTE version of the regular Galaxy S II for ATT. I loved having LTE before everyone else, especially here in the NYC Metro area, it was BLAZING fast at the time since no one else was using it! This phone had a great screen, super fast, plenty of storage and MicroSD support of course!

Great phone!!
Phone owned for less than a month

The Skyrocket is one of the best phones I've owned thus far. Even though it's dated, the phone still packs a lot of power under the hood with it's dual core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz. NFC is probably one of the features that makes this phone really unique. Camera quality is exceptional and brings true colors to all photos. The 4.5" AMOLED display shows a little pixelation, but otherwise is very vivid and colorful. The battery life is pretty user dependent, which means the heavier your use, the faster the drain. I would highly recommend the Skyrocket to anyone who requires higher demand from their devices!
