Rooting/Improvements with White Skyrocket?

[ToastyZack]

I'm potentially getting the White Skyrocket today and I was wondering a few things:

1. Will it still be rootable the same way that the normal Skyrocket is?

2. Are there going to be any improvements (other than aesthetic ones) such as improved sound quality? I've read several complaints about a number of things about the phone and I'm wondering if it's worth getting this or the normal GS2.

3. Does the white SR get "dirtier" than the black? Not a huge issue, but I'm curious.

Thanks for your time, I hope this thread answers some questions for other people as well

2. No again it is the exact same phone

I am surprised that people have problems with sound quality. I have none. I think that sound is excellent. A number of reviewers also thought sound was very good. I think that people are always agitating for something new and shiny which is a stupid proposition because there would be a new super cell phone next month. By next year we will have quad processors, retina screens, 12 mpx cameras, 4 mpx front-facing cameras, super-stereo sound and a kitchen sink. None of which is really essential apart from enticing some gizmo junkies to buy a new phone.

I am biased, as I test quite a few devices. Even compared to our Inspire the sound on the Skyrocket is noticeably louder, but distorted through line out.

When charging, while using line out, all three skyrockets I have used have a distinct "noise/feedback" present in between sounds or song changes. It's pretty annoying.

I posted a video in another thread about it.


Some new converts to the White are claiming the screen is definitely improved. We will see (ordered my white one today)

I also have submitted the screen issue to my friend over at Samsung
