...go for the s2 skyrocket? I'm on metropcs and want to upgrade from the lg motion to a gsm phone now that they are supporting gsm phones. I'm on a 300-350$ budget, and I'm torn between the s2 skyrocket and the nexus 4. Obviously the nexus 4 is more current with today's technology being quad-core, but the thing that kills me about it is that it's only got up to 16gb of memory with no expandable memory, and also it does not support 4glte (Probably Metro's main saving grace). The s2 skyrocket supports lte, has expandable memory, but the display is not full hd and it's only dual-core. The display is not that huge a deal breaker for me, but one thing that I REALLY want to be able to do is play the cool games from play store like "modern combat4" or "real racing". Neither of which I can play on my current device. 
(but shadowgun deadzone is holding me down for now-I love that game) So, I guess my main questions are: can this device play the cool games designed for higher-end devices from play store? Also, how does the resolution look when it is transmitted to hdmi via usb (mhl)? I use bluetooth controllers for some of my emulators; how is the bluetooth compatability on this bad boy? Of the s2 models, it seems that the skyrocket gives you the most bang in terms of compatability. Also one last question: is it possible to upgrade from gingerbread to ICS with this device? I've had a hand at JB, but one feature that it's lacking which is one of my favorite features of ICS is flash-player compatability. Absolutely 156% critical for streaming flash videos from some of those free-movie websites. (I won't say any names here, but just do a quick google search and you'll find them pretty easily) That's it, those are my main concerns. Thank you in advance for your help! On a side-note I've noticed that devs have had a nice go at this phone with roms. If I decide to go for the skyrocket, I will definitely be dabbling with those when I wanna spice things up a bit. Although usually once I start flashing things, I tend to go a little crazy with it. 
Cheers!
