They've been around for quite a while, and I've bought a phone from them YEARS ago...so they must have consistent business.
Again, this is years ago, and the salesgirl was helpful; went back the next day and an older guy (owner I assume) wasn't friendly at all...but yeah.

Make sure you test EVERYTHING while you're there.
Camera, screen/pixels, etc.
They say 7 day warranty, but as soon as you're out the door you're going to have a hell of a time. Make sure you agree with their policies as well regarding exchanges/returns, etc.
It's very buyer beware lol

You might as well get the SGH-T889 since at the very least it will support LTE 700 and AWS frequencies.
After all, what will 2600 frequencies do for you if you can barely connect to it? You might as well forget LTE at that point unless all you do is use your phone outside or near a window...
There's a reason why the AWS phone carriers are desperately hoping to win the 700Mhz race.

It's the most efficient frequency, and it's the one that the Big Three will have in common for LTE in 2013 and 2014. Additionally, the new entrants will end up with at least some of the 700mHz band.
It's not really necessary at this point (it's more of a US thing right now) but if you plan to keep your phone for 2+ years, 700 would definitely be worth it if you want LTE.

next year the government is releasing the 700Mhz and 2500Mhz for auction. The government is allowing foreign company to buy provider that has less than 10% marketshare Ottawa moves to increase telecom competition - Business - CBC News | |

There's a reason why the AWS phone carriers are desperately hoping to win the 700Mhz race. | getting t889 vs n7105 will depend on whether you are strictly using the phone in canada or you'll be using the phone in asia too. the T889 doesn't have LTE 700 out the box. it requires you to unlock it. so until that's been done/achieve there won't be LTE. as for the 2600mhz rogers claims that anywhere that gets 2100mhz will also be getting 2600mhz since they are launching the optimus g 2600 afterall that uses 2600mhz so unless you are planning on going to wind and mobilicity in the future. i go back and forth often so for me i rather have the n7105. also there will be faster updates on the 7100 and 7105 anyways including custom roms etc.

For people who are new to the phone and all its variants please check out the 2 links: Samsung Galaxy Note II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia List of LTE networks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't know about you, but when I buy a phone, the biggest concern for me is it must cover most of the radio bands the carrier I am going to end up with. In the case of the N7105; it does indeed cover the 2600 band which Roger's claim to support (Bellus will eventually support this) but the lacks the essential lower end LTE connectivity.
What does this mean for you? The T889 is the overall better choice for connectivity as it is more or less a PENTABAND phone where as the i317m is just tri-band but its LTE coverage can utilize 80% of the LTE spectrum thus faster overall internet speeds on any of the big 3 network.
Choose wisely.

You sound like your out of the country often which makes the n7105 the better choice for you.
The LTE 700 should be unlocked in 2013. And even if its locked now, 3G+ should be sufficient for most peoples needs. Hell the iPhone 4/4s was living with 3G+ speeds for the longest time without people complaining.
However for the argument of quicker updates, give it 3-6 months from now and it won't matter which phone you go with. I wish I had multi-window ATM however.

Ok, I got my note 2 from bell yesterday. Apparently if you don't put in a deposit you won't be able to get the first few shipments. However if you are a bell customer I got mine from Queensborough Landing (the outlet) they have a few white ones in stock. Just a heads up guys. Around $778 including tax.

One more thing, DO NOT BUY the iShieldz screen protector. I brought mine for 25$ and it scratched instantly after 20 while I was cleaning my screen. Plus it isn't smooth either, it's like someone jizzed all over your screen sticky.
