Other features include LTE "4G" support, along with the usual array of wireless technologies - 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and GPS.  There's an an 8MP camera with 1080p video capture, a 2MP front-facing camera, and a microSD memory slot supporting 32GB microSDHC and 64GB microSDXC memory cards (unconfirmed).  There's also HDMI-out via an MHL adapter.

AT&T sells the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket for $199 with a two-year contract, but you can find better pricing from the third-party retailers below.
