Brother will be picking one up with his contract renewal. Hopefully he will sell it to me for cheap since he has the 4s and just wants to make money.

DailySteals ship to US only so you need to ship to Point Roberts or Blaine and risk getting taxed. I mean if you get taxed it'd be another $78... If you don't mind getting the dual core it'll be cheaper on Craigslist when it is released here.

I'm possibly going to switch to Wind Mobile (from Fido) to get this phone.

Any pros and/or cons for Wind? Haven't done much research yet...

Check to see that reception is good in your area. Not from the coverage maps but by actual users. That's the only thing that prevents me from switching carriers.

i'm thinking of getting the s2 hd lte on bell ($50 on a 3 year contract)
should i dish out $159 instead and get the s3? the specs dont seem that much better and i'm not a fan of the screen size and plastic design. s2 hd lte screen size is already going to take some getting use to

just get the s3, you will not regret it. Try the s3 out, if you don't like it you can always trade it for s2 + cash. Win-win situation. It'll be hard for you to trade the other way around.

get the galaxy note if you are going to pay 50bux for the s2 hd. you can get it for $0 if you are a new activation.

Kinda new to the LTE thing.

So if i have a 6GB data plan with my 3GS right now. Does it mean that i get LTE speed for my SGS3? or I need to sign onto a LTE data plan? If you need a new LTE data plan, is it mandatory to get it if you are going to upgrade/purchase to a SGS3?

Don't think its mandatory, but it will have to be changed if you want LTE

Depends if you are with Rogers or Bell/Telus. Only Rogers requires an LTE plan the rest just requires a new sim card that is LTE enabled. So just make sure your have the newest micro sim.
