Cause if so, I wouldn't mind buying straight up from mobilicity since they usually have pretty good deals on phones.
there are different versions of the note 2. the one wind and Mobi are getting is specifically tuned for AWS. I don't believe they are true pentaband.

wow, that's an awesome deal! I would have gotten it if they didn't have problems with reconnecting whenever it goes off the home network! Hopefully Wind will match and I'll update my plan accordingly

$50 off Galaxy Note 2 with pre registration on Mobi site and sign up for auto payments, meaning a Credit card required

Mobilicity — Promotions — Samsung Note II Pre Order

I can't decide between the Grey or a the White version.

Also, does anyone know for sure if the Galaxy Note II for Mobilicity will be penta-band? I would like to be able to use this around the world when I travel.

EDIT: And LTE compatible

Well, as per Craigslist, the International versions people that are selling are going for $750+ (I believe they are non LTE, potentially pentaband)

I would expect that this phone will debut at $699 with a $50 discount at pre-order.

well how long do you plan to say with wind? 3yrs = no tab/wiped clean.

i change phones like 2X a year. so may not be the best for me.

with Mobi its $50 in hand, but you may have to sign on for 2 months or some similar BS.

on that note (heh) Mobi is rolling out the 21 Mbps network by Nov apparently. Stewart Lyons tweeted a pic of his speedtest hitting 7Mbps down.

I think im going to switch my mom over from mobi to wind. She's barely using her phone and with wind, they have the pay as you go for 20c/minute. free incoming calls. She uses the phone only to call out or gets her friend to call her. She doesnt talk long over the cell cause she's afraid of radiation.

Worth it ?

tell her she cant avoid radiation.. its all over... microwaves, TVs/Monitors, etc..

Heck even wireless signal will cause problems.. but thats like 100 years or something.. read it somewhere... tell her to enjoy life

i used to be like that. didn't get my first cell until like 2004
but then i worked in a company for several years in a lab making phones i'm sure i've been bombarded by more waves people encounter in a lifetime

i'm sure coffee or booze will have worse effects on me than the waves

if they actually up their speeds i wouldn't mind getting reduced speeds after 6gb...you gotta be streaming a lot of pr0n to exceed that cap

Lol I think when I mentioned radiation, it was the key things you guys were talking about. But lets just say she doesn't use the phone much in general so overall the pay as you go with wind offers unlimited incoming calls and
20 cents a minute if you keep the "service life" up.. meaning you account topped up.

That's like when Rogers charged an additional fee on top of their existing data plan initally for their LTE release, when Bell and Telus did not. That's didn't very fair well for them.
