Gonna need more graphics intense game like infinity blade or frontline
but really I use web like crazy so loading and streaming will be the main function on the go so lte and data isby something to worry about, just how's the phone loading them up with more than 8 tabs

How about the 1 vs 2gb ram? Would there be a huge difference there?

Though i cant say for games side by side
i ahve seen everything but 3D gaming side by side.

Temple Run runs fine in both versions

come visit me and we can test it out side by side!

i'm with fido

need to replace my bold 9900

why would one get a s3 galaxy instead of the iphone 4s? (serious question) been loyal to blackberrys for way too long.

if i get a rogers s3 would it work with fido?

what can an iphone 4s do that a s3 can't do? S3 have a bigger screen, expandable memory, better camera, faster processor, easy to unlock the phone. etc etc.. android can do basically anything ios can do almost..

and as for those that want to buy the phone outright no contract from any of the retailers?? after seeing the numbers of phone stores are getting.. good luck.

Any idea where I can order unlock code on-line if I need to unlock the S3 from Virgin for my Bell network ?

I need to know this too, might be getting one from Bell or Rogers to work on Fido.

terkan 06-23-2012 06:34 PM

you can prolly try that free unlock method on xda for the international version.. prolly will work too on the nam version

Free Bell Galaxy S3 available in Canada with new 3-year contract

Quote:

In just a few days from now, Canadian Android fans will be able to get their hands on Samsung’s 2012 flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S3. The device was supposed to be available from all local carriers on June 20, but stock shortages determined them to postpone the launch to June 27.

Meanwhile, more reports from Canada revealed that Best Buy is taking in-store Galaxy S3 pre-orders again after discontinuing them a few weeks ago, and that Bell has started receiving Galaxy S3 shipments. That was a clear indication that other mobile operators selling the device in the country must have also started to receive their Galaxy S3 units around the same time.

But these aren’t the only good news coming from Canada, as it looks like Galaxy S3 fans may end up getting a free device from one of the main carriers in the region, if they qualify.

Phandroid reports that NCIX.com is offering a free Bell Galaxy S3 to anyone that signs a new 3-year contract with the carrier of at least CAD$50/month. That’s a pretty sweet deal, even though you’d be inking a 3-year prison term with the carrier. In fact, it’s certainly better than getting the same Galaxy S3 from a different carrier/retailer for $159.99 with a 3-year contract.

Where are you buying your Galaxy S3 from, Canadians?

StylinRed 06-25-2012 05:39 AM

3yr contracts :heckno:

3klipze 06-25-2012 11:21 AM

^ don't get whats the biggie with everyone being scared of 3 year contracts? Sure its a 50$ crappy plan but since your getting the phone 0$, isn't it worth it? This is comparing to Wind/Mobolicity where you pay full price for the phone, but a cheaper plan. In the end there isn't a difference in the total amount you paid within the 3 years. (this is unless you get extra charges for over usage of your crappy 3year contract plan)

i don't think so as they run on different frequency and there's a Wind mobile variant of it so prolly not.

danny_d19 06-25-2012 01:47 PM

I went from reserved position #361 this morning to #231 now. Guess they are shipping some out already (or prepping to ship)

This is Rogers btw

Well the phone is 599. 3 year at $50 is more than the phone's value. Don't forget you're stuck with a shitty plan. I rather pay the phone out right or negotiate a good plan if switching to bell.

terkan 06-25-2012 10:35 PM

hmm bell actually have a really good $50 plan tbh for light data users like those that are always in wifi area

200 day time
unlimited inc
unlimited even/weekend 6p-7am
national fab 10
unlimited vid/pic/txt msg
caller id and voicemail
100mb data $10 for extra 200mb

so technically $56 taxed in is really good if u don't need that much data for a *NEW CUSTOMER*

If it came with 1gb of data then it would be a good plan. 100mb is a bloody joke.

terkan 06-26-2012 03:21 PM

67 + tax if u want 1gb and it gives u free 10hr mobile tv that u can't remove
