It does. But I'm currently using the s2x which doesn't. I always find myself pressing the side button to check for messages and such since I keep notifications on silent.

All the major carriers will probably carry some form of it.

Various Canadian carriers announce plans to release the Samsung Galaxy S III | MobileSyrup.com

Basically every carrier, except for fido/koodo, are getting it. Also for the big 3 it would most likely be a dual core version, not the quad core, because of LTE. Hopefully one of them will get a version that looks like the international version, since the american versions tend to look worse.

It could be the exonys 5 a15 dual core (2ghz) which would be comparable if not better than quadcore.

http://www.gsmarena.com/possible_4g_...-news-4230.php

If so, it'll have the next-gen Mali T604 GPU, 5 times the performance of the mali400 which is already really good imo

I'd take that over the Exynos 4 any day lol

Does anyone know if I could buy this unlocked directly from Best Buy?

I got a gift card a couple months ago and was hoping I could buy it straight up without a plan, since I still have a 2 year contract with Fido.

and any speculation on the cost?

the ones from Bestbuy are most likely carrier locked since they are only selling the big3 stuff... and like most of their phones, are carrier locked

same

but it looks like there's some kind of screen protector on it to diffuse the lights. Probably an anti-glare one
