The original GS2 doesn't have the faster processor. The Skyrocket has a 1.5 GHz Dual Core Processor, while the original only has a 1.2 GHz Dual Core. The Skyrocket, so far, is a wonderful phone. When I went to get mine, the representative at Best Buy said people have been having problems. Mine at first didn't connect to the data network, but a simple reboot did the trick, and so far, no problems. So if you have the money, I say go for the Skyrocket. I live right next to Athens, GA, so I have access to the LTE there and in Atlanta. But definitely go for it, especially since San Francisco will more then likely have LTE by the end of the year.

If you're thinking ahead, getting the LTE version would be better in the long run, even if you're in a non-LTE area. That's my thinking when I got my Skyrocket...I figure my area will eventually get LTE very soon, since the two neighboring cities recently deployed LTE.
