Regcast training : Hyper-V 3.0, VM high availability and disaster recovery

AT&T has announced that the first two phones for its nascent LTE network – the HTC Vivid and the verbosely monikered Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket – will be available this Sunday, November 6.

In addition, AT&T's LTE service will expand on that date to include Boston, Washington DC, Baltimore, and Athens – the city in Georgia, not the city with the anti-austerity riots – adding to service already up and running in Atlanta, Chicago, and the Texas cities of Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.

Both of the LTE phones run Android 2.3.5, aka Gingerbread, have 4.5-inch displays, shoot 1080p video, and come with 16GB of on-board memory, expandable with microSD cards of up to 32GB.

Those two 4.5-inch displays, however are not the same. The Vivid's display has a resolution of 540-by-960 pixels, while the Skyrocket's SuperAMOLED Plus display has a resolution of 800-by-480.

The Vivid's processor clocks in at 1.2GHz, while the Skyrocket tops that at 1.5GH – both are dual-core. Both have rear-facing 8-megapixel cameras, while the Skyrocket adds a 2-megapixel front-facer.

And, yes, those extra specs make the Skyrocket pricier than the Vivid in AT&T's offerings: the Samsung phone will run you $249.99 with a two-year contract, while you can pick up the HTC phone for $199.99 with the same commitment. ®
