[ALERT] Bell Listing Galaxy SII - Coming soon!

Hi guys, I posted this in the SGS2 thread as well:
I'm not sure if anyone has posted or noticed this: http://galaxys2.bell.ca/en/
It's finally coming to Canada. (Probably July 14th)...looks like the international version to me!
Their homepage currently does not link to the SGS2 page.

Yay!!! Awesome. But the draw is on 19 July are u sure they are releasing on 14?
If its under 600$, I am so getting one. However I don't wanna give more cuz its stupid to spend that much money for a phone.

Damn~I asked a stuff of BELL about this GS2 last month~he just told me BELL won't bring it in~now it seems a bull****~

5.1. Prizes: There are a total of ten (10) Samsung Galaxy SII 4G smartphones available to be won. Approx retail value $599.95 Cdn each.

So if I won it I don't have to steal, um I mean, buy it.

+1
I have the same problem man. I am thinking how to not make her angry and get the phone. I mentioned it before and said I am gonna give my sgs to u and buy the sgs2 for myself but she doesnt care and doesnt want to have a smart phone. However, I got the phone last year.
I really hope I win or we r gonna have some serious argument.

wouldnt it be spectacular if it was a phishing scam....
not by the OP of course! but by some smart person who just wants your info...

Funny that you mention this as there is a direct link on the Bell site to a contest for a HTC Sensation using the exact same page setup and form as the link from OP.

Just paid almost $700 for the Uk Unbranded GS2...

I must say i did not know that my version was light years thinner and lighter then all the us models untill i played with all 3 models anyways my question is what would you have picked? the real Uk Gs2 or branded GS2 now my uk version gets 4g but on Att only but im on tmobile and i keep my clear wireless on me at all times so im never on edge but witch model do you guys like? The exnoys Cpu is a beast and faster then the S3 i hear but again was my choice a good one i love how thin this device is and the fact its not tied to any network so the Ics update should come with no problems and theres tons of roms and development for the uk gs2

Lmao your pathetic. 700 dollars when you easily could've got one for >500. Ok and no offense but, how dumb could you be! Also the AT&T model is the same as the international model lmao (same thickness except it has 4 capacitive buttons). So you obviously didn't play with AT&T model and you got ripped off. Oh yea and its pathetic that you have to carry a hotspot with you at all times just to get 3G speeds.

My choice, I would have bought the cheapest, and not asked for opinions after buying it in the wrong part of the forums.

i9100 is $560-580 right now.

well also here in ontario i purchased a new device rather then those of "kijiji" or "ebay" b/c of some people bs'in about things and products and with tax of 13% i paid about $700 but with that i got a leather case + a protector and also from a wireless store and got their warranty + 1 more year on top total of 2 yrs. so yeah i looked @ my benefits but now whether it'd be galaxy galatica or note or sgs3 come out im 150% on my device + no contract either .. so till death this device is with me and i know yeah LTE and all this bullcrap but i don't need that sh** nor am i tempted to get htc raider or sgs 2 lte or w/e is out b/c all of them have same specs xcept maybe "screen" which is useless you might as well carry a tablet or a laptop ..and nfc which is no biggie b/c unless ur a doosh and lazy to carry a wallet then u might as well grow up and start carrying a wallet..lol no offence anyone plz don't start a bashing contest cause ill laugh and thats just that and as far as speed you can overclock sgs2 to 1.4 or 1.6 anyways with dual processor. now lets be nice and enjoy what we have and how we have it and so on..

the future of the vibrant

Aperently samsung dose not want to update this phone anymore so what will happen to the vibrant
i believe our phones are in the hands of the developers to make roms like ics passon that will be the closest thing to the ics rom that we will get

Well considering my contract ends in october, im not worried about this phone anymore. Switching to verizon

my contract ended a long time ago we jest havent swiched providers

It's old yes, but it never really got any updates. It got 2.2 but I think it wasn't ever an OTA, it was a kies only update that bricked a lot of phones. Ive only used custom roms, but if I had kept this 500 dollar phone stock and never received any updates/fixes for it, I'd be pretty pissed. I don't know of any other phones that got the shaft THIS bad...I cannot believe samsung/tmo got away with this. It was a flagship phone, not some $199 retail phone they gave away........Hell all the other variants have OFFICIAL 2.3...nexus has the same specs and has official ICS....
Thank god for XDA

Actually I got my vibrants bogof from Tmobile so it was 2 for $149. For that price I'm pretty happy with what I got. I could understand somebody that got it full retail or at launch day at full price feeling like they were shafted though.

I got it last October for my birthday, full price (I don't have tmobile)

I got my 2 phones during the valentines special for free. I love this phone thx to XDA, CM and now ICS Passion. Updates from TMO or Samsung? That ship has sailed... a long time ago.
I don't worry about that anymore, CM7 is running just fine, lets get some bugs out of Passion and we are good to go.

I agree, if it wasn't for team toxic I would have sold this phone a long time ago.

Since im on an old em+ plan that doesnt cover subsidized phones, i paid full price for my vibrant. Barely had that phone for a year and i fully blame tmobile for the piss poor support. Never again. Im much happier now with my galaxy nexus.

Not sure what your issues are, but my phone has pretty good GPS AND I can use 911 just fine, the 911 "issue" has been blown out of proportion

Anyone started working on CM9?

Has anyone started working on getting CM9 running on any of the US versions of the SGS 3 yet?
I have begun working on it, but if someone is already farther along then I, I will let them keep at it, otherwise, I am running headlong into it.
I already have 1 kernel compiled, and prepped for testing, since I just got my phone today, I am not quite ready to start testing this just yet.

Thanks, it appears they are working on the Sprint version at this time.
I think I will begin my efforts on the AT&T version then.
Anyone who wants to help with the AT&T version PM me, and we can work together.

No problem. I'll be following your work closely for CM9 is my favorite.

Any MiUi News

Any one seen any news on Miui roms for S4 Galaxy 3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I don't remember my source unfortunately, but I was last under the impression that private beta went our last Friday to the testers. However, that could easily be false. Regardless, SOMEONE will bring it to our phone. The One X (AT&T) has it, so it isn't a processor issue. We have CM so it isn't really a software issue either. Just need the developer to deliver and maintain it

Did anyone see a post where anybody could take a CM9 Rom and convert it to MIUI?

Guys at MIUIAndroid are working on MIUI for the US version of GS3.

The flash counter is a counter that goes up every time a custom software is flashed to the phone through ODIN (someone correct me if I'm wrong). It can be used by carrier techs to see whether you have rooted your phone and voided your warranty.

Glad to hear MIUI is being worked on! I Cannot wait!!!
