Would you guys get a 2 or 3 year plan | prolly go with a 2 year plan because the 3 years are a bit long compared to how fast these phones are coming out

I was going to pick up a Samsung Galaxy S 2 today but I decided against it because I was advised that Bell and Rogers was going to receive this phone in the near future. I can't justify spending that much money only to have the phone become deflated in value when it becomes available at a contract price.
That being said, I've decided to go with the HTC Sensation; which apparently has a better screen (qHD).

I think most android users won't care about iphone5 to much. iPhone will never be a deciding factor for me.

Ive always been tempted by the iphone, but I never liked how its so locked down out of the box.
If it was customizable like android THEN it would be a contender. But damn, no bluetooth file transfers? Thats a HUGE negative for me, even basic phones have that feature now lol

I figured qHD would've been better since it's newer technology but apparently not in all aspects.
In my opinion, there is no point in having a beautiful screen if your battery can't handle it. And you can definitely see a color difference between the phones looking at the pictures; Samsung is definitely more vivid.
P.S. - it would make sense to enable a THANKS button in this Sub-Section...

Pro: big screen obvs. Con: some people cant use the screen with just one hand. (luckily i can) Quote:

Someone has to know if and when this is coming to Rogers! I want to use my hardware upgrade option with Rogers but I really don't feel like signing with Bell.

buy it 800$ outright or 3year contract + say 300ish$
if u wanna cancel contract its 500$ if u have +24month + data left
basically the same thing but the benefit of getting the phone cheaper if u continue using the same carrier.

^hard to say i read from ppls comments that is a bell exclusive and will be released later with a different name as the previous galaxy was and others say it will be on the major carriers then later released on the others like wind/koodo/mobilicity
but for now im just looking up on the basics on operating an android so im not a complete newb =]

I don't care much for .2ghz upgrade, I am keeping my fingers crossed for a 32g version and maybe the new OS. Quote:

It’s official. Bell will be releasing the Samsung Galaxy S II in Canada, but calling it the GALAXY S II 4G. In a press release this morning Bell stated that it’ll be available “in the coming weeks” but we can register for updates on their dedicated site (rumours are the launch date is July 14th).
