Release Information:
"Beginning June 20th, the Samsung GALAXY S III will be available through leading Canadian wireless carriers and authorized national retailers." (Source)
It'll be carried by the following carriers: WIND Mobile, Videotron, SaskTel, Virgin Mobile, Bell, Rogers, and TELUS, as well as the following retailers: GLENTEL, Best Buy, and Future Shop. (Source)

Bell also has a sign up page for the GS3. They too are getting the lte version.
I'll wait and see how development is for the bell version. If international roms are compatible, sans radio, I might get it, even though lte coverage here is f*** all, or I might just get the international version regardless.
Can't wait to play with one when they hit Canadian stores.

Knowing how Canadian variants are never compatible/has a tiny dev community, I simply have decided to buy the international version instead.

The Bell/Virgin version for the Galaxy S I & II was the international version though.

As far as I know, unless the Canadian version is the international, it usually coincides with it's American counterpart. Thus, I have a lot of ROMs I can flash to my Rogers Captivate, because the AT&T Captivate has a lot of ROMs as well.
But you can't go wrong with the international version. I personally don't mind getting the S4 chip in lieu of the Exynos, because I'm upgrading from my Cappy, so the increase in performance will be substantial regardless of whether the Exynos outperforms the S4 or not.
Plus I want to experience LTE. I have 6 GBs of LTE data that my non-LTE phone hasn't been able to make use of.

Damn. The HST is killing the price for the S3. I'm in Vancouver. I might have to settle with getting it at mobileDNA in Richmond. Cash, no tax.

June 20th?? First Day of Summer!!!
Samsung did say in time for the summer at their London Event.
Samsung’s Galaxy S III is one of the most anticipated Android devices ever made. It’s coming to Canada on basically every carrier ”this Summer,” TELUS, Bell, WIND, Videotron, SaskTel, Mobilicity, Virgin Mobile and Rogers. We reported last week that Samsung will start a Canadian trek on May 30th to give employees and retail outlets the “Galaxy S III interactive training sessions.”
We’ve been hearing several launch dates, such as the June 20th date that’s listed in the above screenshot. The first day of Summer is June 20th and would ever so smoothly fall in line with what Samsung’s official press release quoted “in time for the summer.” Future Shop and Best Buy also confirmed that they will have the GS III available when it launches and we’re also hearing that pre-orders will go live on May 30th.

Won't let me most post link but there is an ad that has all the major carriers in Canada and the Galaxy S III of course.

Nice find.
Time to call in to Telus to talk about contract renewal.

Blue, because I've already had a white phone before. I also do a lot of browsing in bed with the lights off, so the blue will blend in with the night.
And trust me, this was not an easy decision to make, because the white S3 is a gorgeous device, and it looks better than the blue in pictures. But a lot of people have said the blue looks better in real life than in the pictures.
Hopefully, Rogers will have both colors in stock when it launches. If they only have one, I'll get whichever is available.

I ordered the unlocked blue GS3 online but I'm from Canada, does that count?
I'm done with locked, subsidized phones and contracts. Can't wait till my current contract is finally done.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

I'm getting the unlocked blue one as well. And yes it does count.
The reason I decided to get the international version is because there's a possbility that the North American version will have the four capacitive keys. I want the international version with the one hard key. I love it on the S2. I just love that you have two options to wake up the phone.
Here's the article on the AT&T and T-Mobile version. If AT&T and T-Mobile are getting a different look, you can bet the Canadian carriers will get it as well.
The same happened to the Note.

I ordered from clove.co.uk
$725 CAD with the 2.5% foreign currency charge from td visa + 5% gst. I think the gst will be only applied to the purchase price of $704 at the time of delivery.

Oh, how I dread hardware keys. I'm the opposite of you. I hate them. I much prefer all capacitive. It makes the face of the phone look so much better ... like my current Nexus.

[Q] Will T-Mobile release a 32GB or 64GB version of the S4?

When I bought the 16GB Note II, as maybe with most of you storage nuts, I had buyers remorse....because I actually use and need the space.
Although hard to avoid thinking about the possibility of when the 32GB would release, I kept waiting and waiting....and waiting....and until this day, nada....16GB it is with the Note II....
Will the S4 follow the same path as the Note II in just making available the 16GB variant?
IMO I have a feeling there may be a 32GB (even possibly a 64GB) for T-Mobile just because of how epic the S4 is compared to its siblings....

It all depends on how well the 16GB version sells. Since they are trying to get people to buy devices outright, they may be more careful about storage sizes, especially with expensive devices like the s4
Sent from my SGH-T999

i was told it would be available on the 15th of May. Of course the source of this info was lowly T-mobile call center rep. Has anyone else heard this?

[Q] buying note 2014 in another country

Hi,
I'm considering getting a note 10.1 2014, and may have the chance to pick one up in Hong Kong in the next few months. I've never bought a gadget from another country before though - and wondered if anyone can advise me on the implications of this, whether it affects usability or if there are any other reasons it's not a good idea.
Many thanks,
Andii

I've bought tons of Samsung devices from other countries for use in the U.S. My N10.1-14 is from Latin America. The biggest downside is you'll give up your warranty completely unless you send it back to HK for repair. I've stayed away from Asian imports because Western market devices allow you to interchange s/w whereas some of the Eastern devices don't. Maybe someone from Asia can offer more insight.

You need to make sure what you bought! They also have many "smuggle" from europe, and US. Which most of the US model is "14 days return" item. (I guess europe is the same but I dont know their policy.) Yes smuggle is cheaper.
If you buying HK model, then you dont care this. but if you want to buy the smuggle product, please note that some of them may change the original bettery, or is used item. To ID it, is check the SIM card slot, and USB port. If is new then good to go. For bettery, I don't know how to check is real or fake.

[Q] Tab S 32GB available in Europe

Hi everyone,
Do you know when the Galaxy Tab S 10.5' with 32GB will be available in Europe?
I search for it but I find only the 16GB version and no additional information regarding release date for the device with 32GB.

You won't get any proper info of that here. Only Samsung knows if and when they will ever release one.

Thank you for the information.
Unfortunately they deliver only in Switzerland. I tried to buy it.

I have also WiFi model T800 bought from Finland. And no that shop won't sell outside Finland.

I'm hoping Samsung get their act together and release the 32Gb version asap, or at least in the UK :angel: I month back I asked samsung uk when the 32gb version would be available and got the standard response to keep an eye on their website for updates. May end up getting an ipad if it doesn't become available in the next 6 weeks :fingers-crossed:

Best buy sells 32gb exclusively. I bought mines there.

Hey can anybody tell me where I could get a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 SM-T705 with 32 Gb of storage on board.
Thanks

NGP store USA, has anyone ordered?

So the HTC 10 does have a listing on amazon that comes with a US warranty and is listed as in stock. One of the sellers is NGP store USA. It says get it by May 2-5 with expedited shipping.
On their site they are selling the 10, the GSM bands and everything matches up with HTC.com, but they do offer gold with a white face as one of the color options which isn't an option on HTC site. I tried calling them today but I got a recording saying it was after business hours (even though they're in Seattle and it's 3:30 there). I'm going to ask if it comes with a US warranty and of course if they'll price match HTC.com
Anyway has anybody ordered a HTC 10 from them? Or purchased a past device from them?
For anyone interested,
http://ngpstoreusa.com/product/htc-10-factory-unlocked-gsm

I don't know anything about them but you do lose the $100 discount so the price is higher despite the other color options.

Where are you seeing this?
This is what I am seeing under the HTC 10:
CPU Chipset: Snapdragon 820
Storage: 32GB, Micro SD slot
RAM: 4GB
Network Band:
2G/2.5G – GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz,
3G UMTS, 850/AWS/900/1900/2100 MHz
4G LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 20, 28, 29, 30
Those are the same LTE bands the HTC 10 has on HTC.com
Either way I wouldn't order before I call and confirm it works with at&t.

I was looking at the information regarding the gold/white version:
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-5-2-Inch-Unlocked-International-Warranty/dp/B01EADQ6DC/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1461887566&sr=8-15&keywords=htc+10+phone+unlocked

they are selling for $685, why would anyone buy from them?

Just got an email back from them, it's an Asian model. They assured me it does work with at&t though. It doesn't come with a US warranty and they won't price match HTC with the 100 off discount because they are very aware of the backorder situation HTC is dealing with. They do have it in stock and ships from US though.
I'm passing on it purely because of the warranty situation. For the last year I've owned a phone off warranty that now has hardware failure so I won't be making that mistake again.

I don't trust NGPstoreusa

Bought an unlocked S7 Edge SM-G935FD from NGPstoreusa this week and they sent me a different model SM-G9350 (China; Sanpdragon 820 chipset) while I ordered a Exynnos 8990 chipset. Tried contacting them but their phone always goes to voicemail and their email response takes a day for them to review.
They have such an elaborate automated voice recording but in the end, it will always goes to voicemail. I think they are trying to send me the wrong model thinking I don't know the difference.
I can't trust this online store.
