AT&T Gets 4G Going with the Vivid and Skyrocket

by  • 

Where do they come up with these names? The Skyrocket? Seriously? Who in marketing actually thought that would be a good name for a phone? Anyway, AT&T is getting faster with the rollout of two new 4G phones, one from HTC called the Vivid and one from Samsung Called the Galaxy S II Skyrocket. Both phones have decent specs, with the Skyrocket actually looking a bit more attractive.
