This is the default signature on AT&T’s new Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket. Sorry. Rather, what I meant to say was, this is the default signature on the Samsung Galaxy SS™ II Skyrocket™, an AT&T:P 4Gℌ LTE℞ smartphone℃!!!!!!

That IS a bit much also considering ATT doesn’t have REAL LTE or 4G (LTE) lol. They have HSDPA+ or whatever. Look at their coverage map of 4G if you aren’t sure. I’m in Spokane, WA and the stores all say 4G this, and 4G that, well we truly don’t have 4G. But my iPhone 4S sure does have a nifty icon saying 4G…that’s all it is at this point, an icon.
More stupid…. Stupidest.
yeah, they do have LTE. I have a Nokia Lumia 900 on AT&T and LTE works just fine (as does 4G HSPA+). Anyways, thats a heck of a silly default signature. All mine says is Sent from Drew’s Phone…
AT&T does have LTE on top of their FauxG (HSPA+). Didn’t you hear the iPad announcement? The iPad has LTE on Verizon and AT&T. Both LTE networks are pretty pathetic though.
Brownlee, you do a great job taking a shit on things. True calling? I mean no offense by this either; I mean, this kind of retardedness should be exposed. Doesn’t surprise me that it’s from Samsung either. How many variants of that goddamned Galaxy S do they need anyways?!?
Samsung is a bunch of sellouts. I’m all for Apple products and staying in the Apple ecosystem, but if Apple didn’t exist, I’d go with Samsung. They make the best displays, they, in my opinion, are tied with HTC for making the best phones, and they are trying to establish their own fragmented ecosystem, however, they are hardcore sellouts.
Know what this signature is? It’s Samsung on it’s knees while AT&T gives them a facial. Have some pride about your products and the experience. The same goes for your laptops/desktops. Stop whoring yourself out for money.
Ha! That’s funny. It’s sad that not they’re not only so obsessed with squeezing in as much advertising as possible, but they’re obsessed with making sure that we know that Samsung’s naming scheme for their phone is trademarked. AT&T and Samsung are counting on the customer to not bother to change the signature. This is a stark difference from the way that Apple did theirs. All it says is “Sent from my iPhone”. What would really be nice would be the ability to use HTML signatures without jailbreaking or using an app to add it.
Kinda harsh, but I agree. However, I will NEVER buy a Samsung hard drive again. Their warranty support for hard drives is horrible. I actually never got my drive replaced. I gave up in disgust and bought a new one.
