I'm just wondering if it is possible to get the phone for 350$ in Canada. It isn't available off the play store, and every mobile store ('ve found/checked) has it for 599$
Is there anyplace to get it?
nope, canada sucks (this is coming from a canadian) we're still on 4.0.1
you can only buy from the google store if your in the U.S
your best bet would be to try negri or expansys
It's $413.09CAD ($406.14USD) at Handtec (out of stock but should be back soon?)
It's $439.99CAD ($432.59USD) at Expansys
It's $458.20CAD ($450.50USD) at Negri Electronics
Not $350, but definitely not $599 anymore. They haven't been that expensive for a few months now.

Well you can flash your device to yakju and get Google updates. You don't have to stick with the firmware the Canadian carrier-sold phones have.

That's unfortunate. I can see how its a hassle, but you just spend 20min, do it once and it's done. My phone was a CAN model and I flashed it the day I got it, and I'm better off for it.

sorry i dont know how to flash
which is why i bought a nexus because i wouldnt have to root / flash to get the latest update. Turns out its even worse than other phones, atleast phones like the amaze got the 4.0.4 update

Sigh.
It takes 20min total to download Fastboot/ADB, install drivers and flash the images. It is literally the easiest process of any phone available. Saying "I don't know how to flash" is saying "I'm too stupid to read a step by step guide or video".
Then you get updates. Stop complaining, seriously. You have 2 options: either you care enough to know there are new updates and you flash yakju (or custom ROMS), or you are fine with your stock firmware and you wait for the slower Samsung updates. Sure it'd be nice if every phone was yakju, but its about as easy as it can be to make yours one.
Or you can buy an HTC Amaze and know that you'll never get another software update. Your call.

He's exaggerating a bit. Google said that the Play Store would start selling the GNex again w/ 4.1 preloaded "next week".
No he was correct it is for sale NOW!.. I did see an article this morning that said it was temp for just a week or so until the patch is reviewed..
They also wont ship for another 2 -3 weeks

where to buy gNex in canada?
I'm visiting Canada (Toronto) for 12 hours in mid august and I wanted to buy an unlocked Galaxy Nexus there..
I can't get it delivered in that time obviously, so can someone tell me which physical stores should I try? Also can you tell me some location where I'll find these stores close to each other?
Also do you guys think I'll be able to get it for 350$ or a similar price?

just spoke with mike at my local verizon wireless store in dc. i asked if he had any information on the galaxy nexus and he said that they were supposed to be selling them today, that they had them in the store, but that they are unable to do so because of a system issue with verizon. i asked him about this and he said that the phones are not appearing in the verizon internal system but that they are hoping to have this resolved by this afternoon. i asked him if this meant they would possibly be selling the phones this afternoon and he said that was correct. he took my name and number and said he'd call back if they could sell the phone (apparently, they already have a list of people who have called about the phone). if i get a call and the floodgates open i'll be sure to post.

i don't know. i just have a feeling we're close here. not sure why (especially given how much we've all been burned in the past with this device). it would also be tres bizarre to release a phone without an official announcement from the carrier. vz must really hate this device (prob because it isn't a droid).

The better question is why would it? Because a blog said it would? Call 611 and let us know when they say it will drop.
If you want 4.0.4 flash one of the two leaked versions or one of the seventeen ROMs that run on it.

I'm not being rude. No one on XDA or tipping these Android blogs really has any idea of when the update will actually come out.
Its never reasonable to take a Verizon' CS rep's word on an update, they have no idea what's going on. We've seen this same BS over every single update and people need to realize that until you hit "check now" and it starts downloading, the OTA has not pushed out yet.
Chill. Wait. Go outside. The update will come out when it's ready.
It is coming out tonight at 1159 pacific standard time so stay up and wait for it

Your local Verizon store employees know nothing of when updates are supposed to come out. In fact, most of them will tell you just about anything you want to hear to prevent you from giving up the phone and their service, including feeding you a load of bull regarding release dates of patches.
Verizon Wireless does not let their retail store employees know of any upcoming products, patches, and/or fixes.

You don't ask, you sit on your hands until you are told. Again, there are umpteen versions of 4.0.4 here on this forum so flash one or wait. Think of OTAs as being agnostic: nobody knows and nobody can know if they exist, it's just not reasonable to assume one way or the other.

Not true in this case. Google does not support Sprint's version of the Nexus since the drivers are proprietary. Sprint will have Google's build to work from, but its up to the carrier and manufacturer to do the update in this case...

Let me start off with saying sorry if this is the wrong thread/forum to locate this:
I have an upgrade with AT&T that I can use and I am highly interested in the Galaxy S3, however I am more cautious than my last upgrade because I previously upgraded to the Nokia Lumia 900 and just a few weeks later, they released no windows 8 upgrade, etc for it. I am worried that if I plan to get the S3 somehow I will miss out on the next S4. I guess what I am asking is should I wait or go ahead with the upgrade. I am interested in it now, because I can get it for 149.99 and get a free $50 dollar credit to the google play store. Any advice would be great, thanks!
The S3 is a great phone with really good dev support. The S4 hasn't even been announced yet so that means it's going to be over 6 months before the US ever sees it. If I were you I would get the S3 now. At $150 +$50 play store credit that is a pretty decent deal.
We just got 4.1 jellybean and 4.2 (I think) is looking promising, hopefully. I mean, we still have approximately a year left of support from Sammy.

If any kind of SIV is releasing in April, it would be the international version, and even that is highly unlikely.
An announcement of the international version might come in April, but I highly doubt that the U.S variants will be in stores before June at the earliest.

If that's the case, I will most definitely not be purchasing it. I can only imagine the update delays when there are multiple carrier variants floating around. In fact, I think I'm done with carrier-branded phones altogether. As noted by another user, the GS3 is not going to become obsolete any time soon, so I may just hold out until the next Nexus, in hopes that it'll come with LTE. ::fingers crossed::
I think I am going to get it, best chance is now!

Lets hope that we can take other carriers versions and flash them to T-Mobile since they're all the same... Why? Because I'm not paying 640 bucks for a phone. Sprint phones almost always end up on eBay much cheaper than retail.
If you have a GS3 there isn't really much of a point of upgrading to the GS4... I'd wait for the 3Q and 4Q devices to drop. This beast still has plenty of oomph in it...

Agreed at this point I rather get a nexus 4 than a s4.

Why? (asking legitimate question)
I thought the S3 and Nexus 4 were pretty much the same spec wise?
I had an LG phone before and had a terrible experience... And LG doesn't give a crap about customers with problems. In fact they (lg) went out of the way to erase Facebook complaints comments, etc... I seriously doubt I'd buy another LG device.

I'll be waiting to see what the Motorola X and what nexus devices launch. Also rumor or the Sony xperia line coming to Tmobile so I'm gonna check that out as well. No point in upgrading from s3 to s4.
I've seen the s4 in person since I work in a store and the Samsung rep brought it to us and it is a beautiful phone. The screen on it rivals that of my 42" Samsung TV as far as quality of picture. For anyone not already on an s3, it is a wonderful upgrade but I Dont see the point in going from s3 to s4 especially with s3 rooted on 4.2.2

I, too, have heard rumors about the Xperia line coming to T-Mobile and I am quite interested.
As for the Nexus 4, don't do it... The build quality is terrible... Just go play with one at a store... And as was said, LG makes terrible devices. The G2x was the biggest fail of a device I've seen in a long time - which really sucked given its potential. A lot of people really hate the Nexus 4. If you DO get one, make sure you get a super case for it.
I had an LG Optimus 3D. Suffered from Ghost calls and Ghost text. People would call, the line would ring on their side but the phone wouldn't make a peep. Same for text, they would send, but they would never get delivered to the phone. LG swept it under the rug. Erased the Facebook comments complaints. And to my knowledge never acknowledged the flaw or offered a solution. It's well documented in the lg forums right here on XDA.
After that I said I wouldn't buy another LG if I could avoid it. (never say Never... LOL)

Did you use triangle away to set your flash counter back to zero also check your device status so it says normal too, Not sure if you did all this just a heads up. By old phone you mean a different device besides your sg3
Then yes you can use a old phone

You'll have to go back to a normal sim and then back to micro with the new phone if I'm right.. Maybe there's an adapter?

not sure how that is going to work since you just got the S3. i know they are doing new pricing plans, but i just got my daughter the iphone5 but since i was not up for a full upgrade i paid $200 down, but only pay $12 a month for it instead of $99 and $20 like advertised. you may have to lay out a lot of money to get the S4 now. it shows $149 down and $20 a month, but that is usually for new customers or those of us who have a full upgrade available
i could be wrong though
I dont see a point in upgrading from s3 to s4. but from s3 to note 3 that should be worth it. Well who knows the wife just got the new HT C ONE and its a good phone in my opinion but I had bad experience with the Amaze before. I think that if you are interested in roms Samsung is the way to go with. with its unlock bootloader out of the box and easy to dev with. When HTC you have to wait for S-OFF etc
Release for online just got pushed back to April 29th.
Smh!
Might as well wait till May 1st and get it at a store instead of dealing with shipping.
