I'm on AT&T and thinking about switching over to Android. I currently have an iPhone 4S that I bought in December. I'm thinking about getting either a Galaxy Nexus from Google or a Galaxy S II Skyrocket.
I like the idea of the unlocked Galaxy Nexus for the following reasons:
With that in mind, here are my reasons for considering a Galaxy S II Skyrocket:
I have read many reviews of each one and just can't make up my mind. If I went with the Galaxy S II Skyrocket, I would either have to pay $500 for a new one from AT&T or buy a used one on Craigslist. I've seen them in my area for $370 or so. However, the phone will have bloatware that I probably won't be able to remove without rooting (which I'm not familiar with, but am technologically savvy, so it's not outside the realm of possibility) and a lesser resolution screen.
Is the screen on the Galaxy Nexus and having ICS from the start worth sacrificing LTE and the camera for?
I like the idea of the unlocked Galaxy Nexus for the following reasons:
- No bloatware
- Beautiful screen
- Pure ICS experience
- Great price for an unlocked phone
With that in mind, here are my reasons for considering a Galaxy S II Skyrocket:
- 4G LTE (I live in an area where it is available)
- Better camera
