ok this is silly. Why is it that I have to get a contract when I buy this phone? What happened to the days where I can just buy hardware without it being locked down to a cellphone provider.

what about future shop and best buy near metro?

I got mine from the FS at metro and my friend bought his at the bestbuy there. At best buy though, they were only willing to sell it outright as a final sale. No exchanges/returns.

Firstly, stores are given incentives to sell these on contracts. For X amount of phones put on contract, they get X amount of dollars for it. So business sense, they want to sell them on contract only.

It's not right since they're representing Bell and Bell's policy isn't to sell it for new customers or existing customers only....However, it's their business and no one can really stop them.

As for the best buy final sale, they only say that to scare you off from buying it or from returning/exchanging it. The same return policy would apply whether you bought it out right or not...

Yeah. I already ordered the oleophobic ones from SGP too. Now this comes out I may just order Glas anyways and sell the oleophobic ones.

And here's a screenshot of my battery life after only having 2 full charges with 20% left:

I just saw this...if it's true i hope roger confirms it soon. I think it makes sense since Rogers will be only offering 3D phones for their dual-core line up. I hope with slideout keyboard it's still reasonably thin

With a slideout keyboard, this will probably seal the deal for me and switch over to the sgs2 from my beloved BB torch.

I've always hated slider phones. The more moving parts the worse.

For the cfroot kernel? You're supposed to use one with a matching version or as close to it as possible.
