I think that the Skyrocket is going to be just as fast and revolutionary as the regular GSII. This makes me glad that I didn’t buy a regular GSII from AT&T now that I know about this phone. Since the Skyrocket has the same dual-core processor as the GSII, it should be quick and snappy but now that it has LTE, it should have no problem keeping up with my streaming in HD habit. The app that I like to use for streaming movies and shows in HD is the DISH Remote Access app from my employer DISH Network. It is awesome because anywhere I am, as long as I have a 3G or in this case an LTE connection, I can stream live TV or any show I have recorded to my DVR. Best of all it is all in crystal clear HD. I can’t wait to get my Skyrocket!
