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

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.

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?

^ 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.

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.

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.
