TELUS sent a note saying they’ll launch the GS III June 20th “in both marble white and pebble blue colors.” In addition, they said the device has “a 1.5GHz Dual-Core processor” and “will also be available with 16GB of memory or 32 GB of memory for $159.99 and $209.99 on a three year term, respectively.” TELUS has also decided to put a promo together that will see the $35 activation fee waived.
| $160, not bad. $150 for Rogers.
Wonder how much Wind will have it for, and if it'll be the same version as other carriers. If so I am jumping ship to Wind's $40 plan.

If I buy it full price from Rogers, can they unlock it for a fee or something?

^Doubtful. You're better off just waiting until someone on XDA releases an unlock method

LTE on the i747 and LTE disabled on the iT999 | Let me get this straight. Both of these are still going to be 1.5 Ghz dual core phones while asia gets the quad core?

LTE on the i747 and LTE disabled on the iT999 | Damn. Is the lack of LTE a huge deal, though? I don't download or watch video much. Mainly stream audio and podcasts.

But are benchmarks really that important? If one gets a higher score than the other, would you really notice the difference in day to day usage?
Probably not

Probably not | It's possible. There's a noticeable difference in the HTC One X variants.

I say if the phones are considered to be the "Little Brother" of the One X, then obviously there will be a difference in performance. However, when you're competing with one flagship phone and another, I agree with the earlier statement that Benchmark results probably won't be noticed.
ie: HTC One X vs Samsung Galaxy S3
