Get Ready for the Galaxy S II 4G!

I’m sure you have heard a lot about the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G, as it has to be this summer’s more sought after phone. ( LINK )

Like most of the greater phones released recently, it’s being released for Bell only currently and coming to Rogers later. Mobile syrup reported that the Toronto Eaton Center would be dishing a couple out a day early. Here is what they had to say:

Toronto Eaton Centre Bell Store (Level 2) will be selling them 1-day early on Wednesday July 20th. Apparently Bell will start unloading them at 5:00pm and go until 9:00pm, realistically they will probably sell out by 5:10pm. In addition, we’ve been informed that there will be a contest of some sorts where 5 of them up for grabs.

 

For once Canadians have the upper hand on this phone. Right now the Americans are doing backflips, due to the fact that they have not received theirs yet. It’s really nice to see Canada get a little bit first for a change.  That being said, could this turn out to be an iPhone-like story where people are lined up to only be turned away due to limited supply?

Only time will tell. I know there has been a lot of buzz surrounding this phone, a lot of excited people I have talked to have resisted buying other phones in hopes to grab one of these babies.

Do you live in the Toronto area and plan on trying to grab one early?

Perhaps you pre-ordered, or you’re going to line up on the 21st to grab one?

Or do you think this phone is all hype and over rated?

What ever the case might be, let us know. We would be pleased to hear the feedback from our readers.

        I wish Rogers will get it. 
        I checked Google and there’s only something from Rogers about Captivate which I own now and am not so happy. 
        Can you provide any link? 
        Thank you.

            not sure bell device will work for rogers, unless u spend 700$ to get it unlocked !  rogers use to get the best phones first when bell customers didnt know what GSM is  , now   bell has best devices and rogers is at the bottom of the list  !!

            Bell devices work on rogers perfectly. I write this comment using an
            unlocked bell HTC sensation on rogers. Full 3G support. Runs perfectly

    Still no Telus release rumours?

    • http://AndroidinCanada.ca Tom Gray

      Heard a rumor, but without a little extra confirmation I’m not sure if I
      want to run wild with it just yet.

        Damn you Telus! (shakes fist)
        Seriously though; Bell’s already got two superphones, and Rogers just announced the EVO 3D. Telus is falling behind.

    I’m sorry for pointing out the correction but both the HTC Sensation and Galaxy S II are released for Virgin Mobile as well as Bell :)
