OK, the Galaxy S2 is a fine phone, but "Galaxy S2 Skyrocket" has got to be one of the stupidest names ever - it sounds ridiculous!
Totally meaningless. Steve will kill Android.
He's left a clear war plan behind for Apple to implement.
With a war chest of unlimited cash, resources & the finest Lawyers, Android will never survive being nuked by Apple.
And "4S" was what? The 4 referring to the 4th generation, and the S for speed, maybe? I thought the 4th generation was the iPhone 4. That makes a lot of sense too.
Ya, agree with the post above. A largely useless phone IMO.
They are adding 5 cities as well. Services like LTE are rolled out. I'm in Chicago.
Excuse me. Five with four on the way. LOL

The 4S was NOT exactly a weapon of mass destruction!
You need to check the sales numbers for Android and Apple.
The numbers are not "totally meaningless"
Ruffle the fanboys' feathers? It's good to keep abreast of the competition don't ya think? Unless your the type that blindly follows.

...and the 4s appears to be shining!!!!!!!!
Yea the battery could be a huge issue, especially on a small LTE market and fighting for a signal. Backwards compatible, but effectively? I think the most interesting part is the supposed super amoled plus screen on 4.5", I'll be jealous if this thing lasts more than a few hours before dying.
Exactly. I've notice that you rarely see iPhone users talking down on other devices. If you go on a Blackberry or Android forums, A LOT of people talk down on the iPhone, but on MacRumors, you don't see a majority of people talking negatively about devices.
I guess we don't have to since we have the best.
Lol.

Huh?
Even Apple can't stay on top forever. Their cash and human resources are definitely a huge advantage but only continuing their exquisite design and marketing philosophy (and a good amount of luck) will *keep* them on top.
Heck, they could do everything right and still fail, sometimes people just move on.
To sum it up:
Go on a Blackberry or Android forum and talk about something iPhone related, I'm willing to bet you the first 5 or 10 posts are going to be something negative about it.
Come on MacRumors, post something about a new non-Apple device:
Chances are the responses won't be negative.
Get it?
yeah yeah, I knew what you were saying, I just couldn't believe I was reading it. I'll let you hold that opinion.

Well I don't believe that. I only see positives when android is mentioned. I just think posting about a new Android phone is pointless as it will garner the same debate each time.
