USA: AT&T announces their first 4G LTE smartphones - Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and the HTC Vivid

AT&T announced their first 4G LTE smartphone today, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket (long names again) and the HTC Vivid. The two new Android smartphone that AT&T will soon be launching will be sold for $199.99 for the HTC Vivid and $249.99 for the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket. The HTC Vivid is AT&T's version of the previously announced HTC Raider in South Korea. The Galaxy II Skyrocket on the other hand has been changed in terms of design. The SGS II Skyrocket you see in the photo above is a bit different from what is on Samsung's USA website. The Skyrocket is a bit curvy on the edges and sports a larger screen. Both devices, by the way, will be available in the US in November 6. Anyway, head over the break for the device's specs.
