I have 2 questions. Right now i have a regular phone, no data. Do I need a new sim card for the LTE upgrade? And does that mean I have to buy the phone right from a at&t dealer?

@SnwB04rder If buy one of these phones from AT&T or a dealer, they will sign you up with a data plan. If you buy one from somebody on eBay or Craiglist, the first time you use data, you will get a text message from AT&T to sign up a data plan. You will need an LTE compatible SIM to use on your LTE network.

Ice cream sandwhich is android 4.0. If your an androis fan you WANT ICE CREAM SANDWHICH! Anyway, SGSIIS is the god of all phones.

@turkeyes1 Ice Cream Sandwich is the code name for Android version 4.0.

I played around with these two phones and the LG Nitro at the store yesterday. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with any of them. Each phone has their goods and bads; nonetheless, it really comes down to your personal preference. One thing I would like to mention is the 720p solution on the Nitro is beautiful, well worth the glances. I've had my HTC Aria for about a year now, HTC Sense is user friendly and easy to get used to. With that said, I want a Skyrocket to experience Samsung.

@severebrutalized Very nice feedback! Thank you!

@malorey9711 Its amazingly fast in 4G areas :D

[malorey9711]

I got the S2 Skyrocket, and I love it, but it's very slow. Then again, there's no 4G around where I live. :(
