The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket was one of the first handsets to access AT&T’s new 4G LTE system. Recently benefiting from a retail price drop to $99, that handset is exclusive to the AT&T LTE network, and you now have your option of either a black or white model at that price. Samsung has been the Android leader in consistently designing thin handsets, and the Galaxy S II Skyrocket follows that design pattern. With one of the larger screens in the entire 4G smartphone marketplace, one of the quickest processors, and one of the highest resolution camera packages available, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket is not bulky or oversized as you might imagine.
