How much do you guys think it will cost? Without contract at the Samsung store

double0seven 04-15-2013 11:07 AM

I read somewhere that it should be around 700 bucks

Psykopathik 04-15-2013 07:54 PM

So what are the official Canadian specs for the AWS version (if any?)

vitaminG 04-16-2013 02:10 PM

is there any need to preorder it? i cant see it selling out, i imagine you'll probably be able to walk in and pick it up on launch day

Simplex123 04-16-2013 02:50 PM

if you preorder from Rogers they usually ship it out a week before release and you'll get it before launch day

for GPS on these phones, do you guys buy an app or is it already installed in the phone? how accurate is the GPS? (for the galaxy 3 of course since the S4 isn't out yet)

I'm sick of my 2008 Magellin GPS for always trolling me on directions

R&R 04-19-2013 07:33 AM

Google maps ftw

Google map or Google navigation as stated above and is free! Google navigation never fail me yet and is pretty accurate, even shows traffic for you.

Google Maps. Plus I also bought CoPilot for times when I don't have data like when I'm travelling outside of Canada.

Simplex123 04-19-2013 11:28 AM

^How much did you get CoPilot for?

Bought it during a boxing day promo a couple years back. I think it was around $6 for USA and Canada.

I need something that "speaks" instead of having me to look at the screen, does Google navigation do this?

do you get free map updates too with purchase?

$6 is pretty cheap, how much does it go for regularly?

Google navigation does voice navigation as well. I believe you just have to turn it on and raise the media volume up.

I am just using a blackberry now so i never tried Google Navigation before, does it let you choose "shortest/fastest time" like how those Garmin GPS ?

It was around $20-30 back then. It was a few years ago. So far all my map updates and software updates have been free.

From what I recall...it automatically shows you the fastest way, also there should be settings to avoid highways, tolls, bridges, etc. I don't use it too often because my car has gps built in.
