Should I hold out for the Samsung Galaxy S3?

no one will be able to answer that question until the final specs are revealed just before release. i will say android 4.0 is awesome. if the skyrocket will get (or has gotten) 4.0 you should be fine but if not, that's worth the wait to be current with the latest android OS. they say that all apps are "backwards" compatible but i remember on my droid 1 after it quit getting updates that apps started having more trouble running as the OS kept getting further and further left behind. 4.0 is really awesome and has lots of features both up front and behind the scenes that make it more efficient in just about every way.

A quick Google search just confirmed that the Skyrocket will be getting updated to the new Android OS.

So I guess the only reasons I should wait are hardware related, unless there is something else I am missing.

i would imagine the S3 will probably get a quad core processor. most likely the new tegra3 chip going into tablets now. that might be worth the wait. it's supposed to be massively more power efficient than the current dual cores.
