AT&T’s first pair of LTE-capable smartphones — the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and HTC Vivid — are available for purchase today for $249 and $199 $149 and $99 (AT&T apparently lowered the price since the announcement) respectively.
While both phones will function fine on AT&T’s existing HSPA+ network, the cities where you can actually get LTE data are still pretty limited. As of today, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Boston, Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Athens, Ga.
The Skyrocket pairs alongside the Galaxy S II already in AT&T’s stable, but it ups the Super AMOLED Plus display (at 480×800) to 4.5 inches. It’s also got a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, an 8MP rear-facing camer with LED flash, 2MP front-facing camera, 1080p video recording, 16GB of on-board stoarge, and a microSD card slot.
The HTC Vivid has a 4.5-inch qHD display at 540×960 resolution. It’s got a 1.2 GHz processor, 8MP rear camera with 1080p video recording, 16GB of on-board storage and a microSD card slot
