I wonder if Rogers is being a dick and charging more just because they feel like it or if there is actually a difference in hardware. i might buy the note2 from bell and unlock it too use on Rogers instead..

I doubt any difference in hardware. They'll probably adjust their price to match others eventually.

Could be plus the $50 preorder you pay no?
Rogers is usually $50 more expensive, and then they do the $50 rebate.

Or so I thought.

But if it is indeed $149, yay for me!

At this point are we honestly surprised that high-tech devices cost $700?

I'm not surprise that it cost $700 for the rest of the world because the prices changes within the first month and there is actually a drop in prices as it gets "old" but for Canada the price tag stays there until the device gets taken out of production

I look at my 1Ghz dual core netbook and think...what the fuck did i buy this for????

I sometimes have trouble believing I have so much computing power in my pocket.

My first PC experience was a 33 Mhz laptop. Yes, 33. my phone cost more than my whole current PC.

^ same over here, except the screen size and input method, pretty much any device around me can perform the same job. Even my NAS has a 1.6ghz processor!

Everyday I carry 8 cores in my bag (one Tegra3 and one Exynos)

I'm having trouble deciding if I should by from either wind or rogers. I feel like the phone isn't complete without a chunk of data, but data is slow on wind and expensive as hell on rogers...might just stick to pay as you go from Rogers since there's wifi at ubc lol

They might pull a Galaxy S3 by having different models (ie: LTE vs No LTE)
So if you don't plan to use LTE then I would suggest just getting the international version

They're all on exynos 4412 this time around right? Just with different LTE bands. So why would he get an international one? Might as well wait for the price to drop on CL and get a brand new one that people are getting off contract to sell.

Because he said he is going to use wifi at ubc and thinking about wind / pay as you go on rogers.
Price for international version has dropped quite a bit
