Samsung Galaxy S III coming to Bell sooner than later

[defender007]

I'm a Bell dealer and the Samsung Galaxy SIII showed up in my ordering system. There is a 16GB version and a 32GB version. Blue and white are the colors. As of now, the prices I see are 599.95$ for the 16GB and 649.95$ for the 32GB version. These are the SRP prices. Dunno the agreement price

This is gonna be Samsung's HUGE release. Can feel it.

Telus is listing the 3 year contract pre-order price as $159.99 for the 16 GB model and $209.99 for the 32 GB model, so I imagine Bell's prices would be the same or very similar.

Super excited about this phone. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Don't even mind the S4 processor in it, as long as battery life is similar to the Exynos (some of the battery test charts out there give it tablet-like battery life with usage!)

Defender007...anything in the system with regards to accessories for it?

Note 2 is just around the corner, s3 is basically a HOX with galaxy nexus screen.

At least they are upping the RAM to 2gb or else it be a complete dud.

Every review I read about the SIII is either positive or very positive, and that goes for both the Exynos European one as well as the S4 North American/LTE one.
Performance is excellent, screen is good, camera is good, battery life is excellent, according to all of them.

Not really happy about the different model, probably won't get a lot of developer support like the LTE galaxy s2 model.

Actually, I think it will do quite well in terms of support, as ALL of the North American cellphone providers are getting the exact same version (rather than the little-to-big differences, for example, that plagued the Galaxy SII, and its support/development). Samsung is taking the same route as Apple this year, and pressuring the Cell providers into brand/product recognizability via one phone/device for all. So there will be a LOT of the same phone out there (possibly even more than the Exynos-equipped international model, depending on which version China gets)

I guess like you said it'll depends on what other markets get, as far as S2 goes most of the leading developers aren't in North America.
