New Superphones before July?

Any insider-info on what Bell might get before July? Samsung Galaxy S3? HTC One X? or some Motorola flagship phone?

The Galaxy S2 LTE HD is coming soon. After that I wouldn't be surprised if we (Bell and probably other Canadian carriers as well) don't see the SGS3 until August. Looking back to the original Galaxy S, it was launched in June internationally but we didn't see it until August. I think the SGS3 will follow a similar schedule.

It's a shame the SGS2 LTE HD is this 'late' (relative to the SGS3) because it should be a very nice phone but it's hard to recommend it at this point in time.

Yah I hope S3 arrives earlier. Isn't S2 LTE just a small upgrade? Yah I wouldn't want to get that. Too bad Bell already got HTC One V, so they probably wouldn't get the higher end X version unfortunately.

Well it has LTE and HD screen, which makes it a much more worthy upgrade for someone like me using the original SGS.

For those who are up on the scene the S3 is worth waiting for, but those who buy the S2 LTE HD shouldn't be disappointed. Seems to me like the only upgrade the S3 is likely to bring over it is a faster processor.

and (presumably) ICS, NFC. Hopefully a less plasticky finish too, and I read a rumor that it'll dual-boot into either stock ICS or the Samsung touchwiz or whatever it's called
