Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Review

Online, November 25, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket is another high end smart phone available on the new AT&T 4G LTE network. It is a large phone at 5.11 by 2.71 by 0.37 inches, which is good because it has a 4.5 inch touch screen. The screen literally takes up the entire front of the phone. The home, menu, back and search buttons are right along the bottom edge of the phone because the screen takes up so much room. The screen is 480x800 pixel resolution on a Super AMOLED Plus display that looks fantastic and is extremely responsive. This is also due to the third generation Qualcomm APQ8060 1.5GHz processor. The Galaxy S II Skyrocket runs apps smoothly, even when you're running multiple apps. Android Gingerbread 2.3.5, soon to be upgraded to Android Ice Cream Sandwich, and Samsung TouchWiz UI give the phone a nice interface that's easy to use and organize.

You can easily organize the 7 home screens by dragging and dropping the large variety of widgets wherever you want. It also adds some motion controls that make it easier to utilize the features like putting the phone in silent mode and zooming in the browser and media gallery. You can also use Vingo-powered Voice Talk to use voice commands, which is especially useful if your hands are full or if you're driving. The Skyrocket includes 3 keyboards - the Samsung standard keyboard, the Android standard keyboard and the SWYPE keyboard. Between the three you're sure to find the easiest one for messaging, emailing, browsing and document editing. A great added feature is the ability to capture screen shots. Press the power and home screen buttons together and take a picture of any screen.

It's important to have a reliable back-up charger, especially if you spend time traveling or outdoors. An external battery pack is a fantastic option, as it allow you to charge your phone literally anywhere. No more running out of power! Ideal for long flights, outdoor activities and serious road trips, the high capacity Naztech n301is a compact lithium polymer power source for charging your Samsung Skyrocket SGH-i727 USB input device. It's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, yet provides 1800 mAH of power - that is power up to 3 times the standard battery! What completes this device is the built-in flashlight to find your way around the dark and a convenient built in battery indicator that lets you know how much battery power is left. The Samsung Skyrocket SGH-i727 n301 battery pack can be recharged from any computer USB port or, when used with the optional Naztech n300, a standard wall power outlet in addition to any standard vehicle adapter. Great for business trips, vacations or long drives. Just simply connect and charge! You'll never be caught powerless again.

Another great accessory is a car mount, especially if you plan on using your phone while driving. A car mount with an integrated signal booster is a great option if you tend to travel in low signal areas or have dead zones. The Samsung Skyrocket SGH-i727 hassle free Naztech Universal Car Dash-Mount is the most convenient way to easily fit your electronics within reach. Adaptable with most applications, this extremely portable product uses high tech anti-skid materials to create a solid mounting base that works with any surfaces, while keeping your device from sliding.

As an added feature, the Suction Mount can also be attached to the windshield. The Naztech Dash-mount can be installed and removed in seconds, making it convenient to move from one car to another, while eliminating any threat of theft. This is a perfect accessory for anyone using a Bluetooth mobile phone, radar detectors, MP3s or GPS Navigation/Tracking application that want to keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the Road.
