I do ... i would buy a phone with the appropriate band that supports tmobile 3/4g at nearly the same price.
Then when tmobile gets their version of galaxy s i would then flip the phone on craigslist and up a few dollars more.

Believe me you would be miserable when you are not in a wifi area stuck on edge.
What if you are out with the misses or something and need to pull google maps or some ****.
I almost did the same thing with xperia x1 but decided to switch to att instead of put up with edge on the x1 with tmobile.

Just secure yourself a mother in law that pays the phone bill
nah son, put the galaxy s 4g on craigslist then the money u get drop it on att
It would be pretty mad to get such a phone and live with the dreaded "E" when not around wifi.
That said, a co-worker has a T-Mobile Nexus One on AT&T and he gets by, but as many of you may know, Big Blue's flavor is hard to come by.
I do suspect the stateside SGSII, no matter the carrier, is going to be closer to $500USD instead of the $700+ you'd pay for importing.
I'm going to hold out for a TMOUS version and pay full price.

No, you aren't crazy. I'm on TMOUS, and I've decided that this WILL be my next phone. I've been living with the G1 since it's inception, it's time for me to upgrade.
I'm a little worried about a TMO version, because I don't want them to screw with the S II. Ya know, start omitting features and changing the design and all that, it looks PERFECT. I can't wait until it's officially announced for our carrier. But if it isn't, I might just be like you and live on E with this awesome phone.
I tried out the g2x–or actually two of them–but after some issues Ive decided to grab the sg2s instead. Just knowing its out there somewhere makes me sweat a little. I think I could get by with just edge, but I dont want to take the chance seeing as it will prob be a bit cheaper in the states after the official announcement. Hope the time goes by fast, I dont want to wait forever for this thing. BTW-att is holding some sort of event soon, i was reading about on all the blogs today. Hopefully its for gs2, i guess that would mean the other carriers wouldnt be far behind.
Damn it looks sweet. Never would have thought I would be interested in a galaxy after the updating issues here in the states with the og galaxy, but Im just going to root it anyway. Hopefully there will be some good dev support for this.

Right, the s2 is the best looking phone available. I think when I get paid im pulling the trigger, and if a "3G/4G" version becomes available that will work on tmobile bands and then just flip it on ebay. Living with edge when Im used to hspa+ on the GS4G is gonna suck ROYALLY though.

good. I was thinking of trying the g2x but honestly not having an amoled display would kill me. and the only reason I dont want to switch to at&t is because the prices stink. plus I have a huge deposit with them
I'm in a weird situation. I'm on tmobile right now and I'm very happy with it but I'm moving to bloomington, Indiana and apparently tmobile reception is horrible there. So I might have to switch to AT&T but the problem is I can't afford it! So I don't know if I should get SGS2 now or wait for tmobile version.
If T-Mobile does mess with the US release, I could see using it on EDGE, but I think it's a compromise I'd soon regret.
So TMo has the Samsung Vibrant and the Galaxy S 4G. What would they call the Galaxy S II?
Galaxy II 4G? Vibrant II? GS2?

I doubt there is a warehouse somewhere where AT&T is paying people to yank phones out of samsung boxes and shove them into AT&T boxes. They ship like this.
Hah...I guess I'm not surprised that at&t decided to take out those headphones. And on top of that, they're shipping it in their annoying looking boxes. That's the 1 thing I hate the most about these US carriers....to go along with their carrier branding on phones to "differentiate" themselves....like come on.....
Video posted by OP....that must be either the Telus or Bell version for Canada? I hear Rogers is the only one out of them 3 that brands their phones.
But...will those Canadian Note versions work with at&t LTE though??

Wow, even worse then the infuse! At least the infuse had the hdmi feature, still love that idk if this can do that. Anyway, i was looking forward to replacing my infuse earphones that have been washed twice (and are still fine just have some stuff on them)! Hopefully they can seriously push the ics update quickly, idc if its semi working, our devs will be able to finish it in tenth the time of att and sammy. Att is really cheating out the customers here in almost all ways.
I'm sorry if I sound cynical, but who the hell uses those cheap headphones anyways? Plus, they're the same ones you all received with your last Samsung phone, so why do you need two pairs? Yeah, the nice box would be cool to have, but that's not what you carry around with you.
ATT is probably saving money, being greener with a cheaper box, and probably preventing a lot of headphones from sitting inside a box in an ATT bag tucked in a closet somewhere, just like the ones from my infuse are.
If you really care that much about them, that's kind of sad, because they have to be some of the worst sounding earbuds that I have ever used. And I thought skullcandy made crappy headphones.
I agree, the little extras with something this expensive and nice are awesome, but they're nothing to lose sleep about. Imho, the note is worth much more than the extra 100 bucks it will cost me compared to my infuse, so I'm guessing ATT did it to cut back on their losses that they're taking on the phone subsidization.

The box will be great for when people sell their Samsung galaxy note on ebay in a year when Samsung comes out with a 7 inch "phablet". In no way am I hating on the note because I am getting one. It just seems the phones are getting bigger and bigger -- which I personaly like.

I think people stop calling it a phablet at 7" and just call it a tablet--but I'm sure there will be 5.5" or 6" phablet/tablets at some point too. Also, the Tab 7.7 does have phone software installed, in case you want to hold that thing up to your ear.
i'm sure at&t prob saved $5-$10 per box by not getting the headphones with the note... if you multiply that by lets say 250000 people thats quite a savings as stupid as it is lol.

if it is the same model then it should. depends on the frequency lte bands that it uses. there are different bands in the 700mhz frequency range.
I know the note for at&t supports both of at&t's LTE bands. 700mhz, band 17 I believe, and 1700mhz AWS band which they are going to be using shortly as well in some areas.
If the box is open, the box won't do much of anything for resale costs. And I'm sorry to whoever was looking forward to the headphones, that's an understandable situation. For the most part however, people are nitpicking, when the device is what matters the most, and the other stuff likely wont be a deal breaker at all.

Wow, people are actually complaining about cheap headphones and the box that it comes in.
Here's an idea. If you care that much about that buy a fruit product (cough) Apple. They come with cheap headphones and a nice box.
BTW the current LTE Samsung smartphone that AT&T sells (Skyrocket) Comes with headphones and they are quite nice actually.
Hi guys,
I'm in Canada and using a sim card of Rogers. I love Droid DNA so much and I don't want to wait for the World-Wide Version or the Canadian version to come out. I just want to make sure that can I use Rogers 4G LTE on a Verizon Droid DNA in Canada?
Thanks

Were you able to just walk into a Verizon store and buy it without becoming a Verizon customer? Is it Factory unlocked? The web masses say YES but the Verizon people are probably trained to say No.
I popped in a friend's AT&T SIM and had no issues. It picked up service pretty quick. You should be able to buy the phone outright from Verizon without being a customer. In the past I was just asked for my ID (before I had Verizon).

why are you selling it ?
not as good as its made out to be? im curious.
im in the same boat.; in canada, just returned the samsung s3, didnt like it.
now on the fence between the iphone 5 and the droid dna.(beacuse i like a nice slick build quality and the s3 felt like a cheap vcr remote)
I would love to see the DNA come to Canada, but friend, DON'T GET AN iPhone!!! If build quality is what you're concerned with, i'm sure everyone here will agree with me that Motorola is the way to go, IF you want a device that has amazing build quality that you can feel in the hand. I am a Samsung fanboy, but i've also owned and reviewed (for my youtube channel) many Moto Android devices, and i have to say, they have, hands down, the best build quality of any devices i've held in my hands. Some people may flame me for this, but i think Moto has better build quality than HTC, and i really enjoy HTC devices!
But don't down grade to an iPhone! Coming from Android, you would regret it, i'm positive of that. =)
Cheers,
Jared

i just checked out a couple of motorolas, they are decent but still completely plastic. the iphone 5 is made from glass and aluminum. its pretty hard to top that.
but i dont mind the feel of the htc's.
can anyone tell me the best way to get one for use in canada?
should i just buy one on ebay from the us?
and does the droid dna have a sim card?
a local cell phone store told me if it has a sim card then they will be able to unlock it and it will work.
andybones, why lmfao?
why do you think the dna is so much better than the iphone 5?

Can't say too much on battery life, only had it for about a week, but it generally seems pretty solid, lasts me a good day of usage (browsing, facebook, twitter, calls, the reg, etc) just make sure you close apps that are unnecessarily running in the background as that'll slow the phone a bit (depending on the app) and drain battery. hope you enjoy your DNA

Hi, I just got the DNA in America to use it in the Netherlands.
In a actual Verizon store i could not but a DNa without a kind of plan.
Even saying I want to buy it without a plan, they say you should pay 599 for the phone and x per month as a subscription.
So not doing that we went to a general electronics store that sells verizon products but was not an Verizon original store.
Here is where i could buy the DNA without a plan for 599.
Hope it helps.
I have a problem with the data connection in the netherlands, but i do not know if this works in Canada.
I have a droid DNA here in Canada, I can confirm that it is in fact sim unlocked out of the box. I won mine, so Im not sure about the hassle at a verizon store. I am trying to get it to connect to LTE. I have read several reports of it working no problem for people here, but can't seem to get it myself. I do get it to connect to hspa without an issue by putting in my apn settings and changing them to default.
Hello,
I have been overseas for the last month for my wedding, and I have to wait until monday to get back home to get an S6 edge plus. I have been looking and can't seem to find a 64GB variant for verizon, other than on Samsung's website. (here and here)
I wanted the silver variant, but verizon doesn't offer it. So I will either go gold or black, not sure yet, but I am appalled that not only is there not a 128GB version (how am I supposed to cope with losing my 128GB microsd!) and now I can't even find a 64GB model!
If anyone out there can confirm they have seen the 64GB model, please let me know.
Hell I might even wait for a 128gb model to show up, but I doubt that will be soon. If I can't even get the S6 edge + in 64gb, I will get the Note 5 instead.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
So far, Verizon is only offering the 64GB version of the S6 edge+ in black. The other Verizon S6 edge+ option for people who want any color other than black is to settle for 32GB. Then you can get the gold variety.
Both my Verizon store & Best Buy have the 64GB in stock.
I got mine at Verizon online. Local stores only had 32g in Stock. But vzw online had black and gold 64g version for me. I chose black simply because I figured it wouldn't show dirt/smudges /scuffs as bad.

I have the 64Gb verizon variant in black, bought it online from verizon last week, had it 36 hours after ordering. The black is more blue than black, which is nicer IMO. I agree that it sucks to lose the sd card, but 64gb is probably enough, unless I needed to store all my porn on there.
"only in black"... Grrrr! My girlfriend works at a Cellular plus store and she got me talked into upgrading into a S6 Edge+, even though I would prefer to get something that is NOT Samsung, even though as far as it stacks up, its definitely one of the better phones out. I wasn't to fond of the "black sapphire" and wanted the white, but she tells me that it's only in Black. I responded "That's nonsense , why would a company do that?!?!?!?" Well it turns out that you actually can't get the 64 in white, which is SUPER disappointing for me. So i was forced to get my Note Pro in Black as well so they would match... :crying::crying::crying:
This is just me pretty much throwing a fit I guess, but I mean REALLY Verizon?!

I literally mean all US carriers carry only black or gold. While international people get the good sh** Like my beloved xperia line, I would take the xperia z5 premium over the s6 edge + in a heartbeat, well maybe, because the only thing i like about the edge is the edge because it has the edge in aesthetics >_>
I checked all pre-orders available... No freaking black anywhere in Canada?!? Lilac and grey only??? Did I miss something here?
Who the hell does that Samsung....... :silly:
That's messed up. I personally would of gone grey but black will do for me at least here in the states.
Yup. I wanted the grey one so it turned out perfect but more color options would have been nice. As far as why Samsung? They've always treated Canada like a 3rd world country tbh. It terms of revenue we sort of are. We're more or less Apple country if you look at the numbers. That's why they stopped giving us the Exynos variant after the s7. Why ship different variants to the same continent. We just don't buy enough to matter. Why bother giving us the color that sells the most...
if you want the black colour for s9, you can get it from pdaplaza.ca ...the have it in black but the price is about 100 more, but the internal memory is 128gb, unlike the standard 64g...who knows, maybe samsung will release the black colour after the preorder phase........i know, its so stupid how samsung wont offer standard black colour........
I emailed Samsung about this also. One issue is warranty. If you buy from the USA (they have midnight black), then good luck getting warranty if you are in Canada. I sure hope Samsung makes the black version available to Canada - soon.
Samsung doesn't treat the USA any better... Yes - we get three colors. But where is 128GB or 256GB options for the USA?!?! And no preorder bonus gifts? Come on Sammy! You can do better!

I agree we are a small market by any metric, but wouldn't black make a hell of a lot more sense? It's neutral, common and easy to sell off IMO. That being said, I thought I saw the S9 was going back to Exynos for W8..? Did I goof up? If not then my decision is getting easier.

Thanks I'll look it up but I was hoping to get it on my tab to save some cash this time around. Plus there's the issues that come with getting an international version...

Like I said above, thought I read W8 was going back to Exynos, so US models would have SD. But you're bang on about the warranty; I've had a Duos S6 and it went kaput, never got any kind of support from Sam, which is totally messed up, against most Consumer Protection Acts in the Country and is just horrible business. Look at how easy it is to get Apple to cover their devices...

They know Apple is still too strong I think...
Edit: I guess it is a Snapdragon in Canada according to Rogers anyway. But every other source I've seen lists it as Exynos... weird.

You get $150 off if you trade in any junk phone, its something. The s9 is $810 after trade in, when was the last time a galaxy phone was this cheap?
Yeap I've been pissed off about this since the announcement.. I messaged Samsung Canada on Facebook just *****ing about it and the reply I got about 10 days later (so just a couple days ago) was: "Don't worry. You'll get your black"... So I don't know wtf that means I messaged back saying I hope that doesn't mean in 6 months when they need a sales boost bcuz I'll just wait for the S10 if that's the case and I got no response after that, which I bet that's what they meant bcuz that's the kinda **** Samsung pulls... I've also been tweeting Samsung Canada and Samsung Mobile about this repeatedly. Such BS. Whoever's idea this was should be fired or punched in face, one or the other.
