Funny how Telus can state a release date for their variant of the SGS, but Rogers is so bloody tight lipped with it. | LOL. My last 2 smartphones were from Telus too. And I'm a Rogers customer.
BTW. The Telus Samsung Galaxy Apollo is not an S variant.

what do you guys suggest? | Assuming you're on Rogers/Fido, why would you want a Vibrant? 3G doesn't work on their network, so the obvious choice would be Captivate from Rogers or AT&T, since they are both the same phone.

What?
T-mobile and AT&T run on different networks. Your only choice right now is to get it from AT&T.

Bell Vibrant
Rogers Captivate

the only difference between the bell version and the at&t version is the extra button right?
i guess i should try and get a bell one for easier warranty purposes
was just making sure it would work for 3G

1. Get a friend who is with bell to buy the phone
2. Unlock it and use at your provider
3. ???
4. Relock the phone
5. Get your friend to redeem the profit
...although I havent looked into how to relock a phone.

I installed juice defender and it seems to be working decently. when i dont use the phone and leave it on standby, i get through 8 hour days with 75% left. if i use it at all ie browse web, maps, etc it drains like a mofo, even with screen on 30% fixed. could it be a bad battery? i bought it 'new' from craigslist here, it was brand new, the onlyi thing i can imagine the guy did was swap out his weak battery before he sold it to me, but then again the phone hasnt been out long enough to have the 1st battery be killed already. Is there a way to check battery health?
and like you guys said, task killer bugged out. This is the 2nd one i installed. First one was from a different developer and ran perfectly fine under a few days later when it kept crashing the phone, so i uninstalled and installed this one, pretty much same program just different developer. That ran perfectly fine too until today, 3 days later, it kept crashing my gps and phone.... so weird. Something about that 3 day period....

Walked into the bell at brentwood the other day and the guy asked if i wanted to sign contract or buy the phone outright. guess no ones wants to sign with them lol

I really see no point in getting a phone with a Front camera in Canada... Data rates here are just so high, and those stupid "video calling" plans are retardedly marketed too, so nobody has them

A front facing camera might be the norm one day, but right now I wouldn't say it's a must have feature. Posted via RS Mobile | |
