    So Sorrry!! $22/mo for the phone servie + I added $3 or$5 for 250 text messages. The data is 500Mb for $25 (if I reacall correctly) but it's pretty close to that.

    About my other question. The Galaxy SII 4G - is this the HD model everyone is talking about? Is the SII - as reviewed every where and referred to with LTE and different stuff - is it all the same phone?

    BTW - price reduction - I get it for $0.00 on a 3yr plan

    First I would suggest negotiating a little more - convince them to throw in unlimited text messaging for free. They were more than willing for me. Also - tell them (nicely... ) that you also want the $30/6GB plan instead of that measly 500MB plan. With a little convincing and "whining" about all your friends having it and that you'll sign right away if you get it... you should be golden.

    I'm still some time away (and $$$) for a HUG, so I haven't looked too seriously at a phone. Bell's version of the SGS II is not an LTE device. Do you really really need LTE? If you can get an SGS2 for $0, that's a score. My only other choice would be the Nexus, but it's $159. External SD slot is really a non-issue unless you want to carry all of your video around on your phone. I had tons of music and a BUNCH of video on my Galaxy S and never broke 10GB at all....

    Good luck!

    Thanks! It is a corporate plan so I think i can tell them someone at work has the 6Gb.
    Have an iPhone 3GS and I have little space left and I don't have all my music (that I want) on it. So...

    And you are right. i don't need LTE but I just want to make sure I am getting the same phone that is so well reviewed.

    Cheers and thanks for the replay.

    IIRC Bell launched the SGS2 first but their version (and they haven't moved a to newer one yet) doesn't have LTE or HD screen. It's still a nice phone but if I was buying or renewing this year I'd want one or both of those features.

    My Iphone has 16 Gb and I am using over 14Gb (and I want to put more).

    Does Bell now carry the Galaxy SII 4G HD? I will call them and see

    THanks
