Bell Mobility Canada Tab

Repost from the Rogers thread, but the Bell unit deserves its own thread too:
Just got back from my local Bell corporate store, proud new owner of a Bell Galaxy Tab that I can't take home until tomorrow morning (talk about a
sleepless night for a gadget freak).
Device is $649 CAD, as expected, and it's data only, as expected.
There are *no* contract subsidies for this device, retail price is the only price.
They're rolling out a new "Flex Plan" to go with the device, $20/500mb, and if you exceed the 500mb, it goes up to $35 for up to 5Gb. It's a pretty
damned good plan, and especially good considering it's a CANADIAN plan.
If you keep the plan, you get a $50 bill credit after the second month, to further sweeten the pot.
The catch is, you MUST sign up for the no-obligation month-to-month plan to even buy it, and there's the usual (for Canada) $35 "activation fee", same as
any other device sold by a carrier.
The device itself was a pleasant surprise, based on all the literature/leaks, I was expecting the traditional white backed Tab. But this one has the same
textured/patterned (and grippy, btw) black/gray back as found on the AT&T (and Rogers) units, but with absolutely no carrier branding. The sales rep
said they may carry the white-backed model in the future as well, but at least for this first shipment, they're all black.
Model number is GT-PT1000M, so one could expect it to be very similar to International models, sans voice.
Finally, corporate stores have received 2 (count 'em, TWO) units each, and independent dealers may not get any right away, so they will be in short
supply at launch.

im debating wether or not to go into a bell store tomorrow. Im debating between this and a dell streak...not really sure yet. 2 per store sounds like i wont be getting one tomorrow anyways

I'd hold off on the Streak if you really want one, since Dell US will be selling unlocked Streaks with Froyo already installed very shortly, like in time for Black Friday from all reports.

DELL's support sucks ass. Come on, 6 months to get the streak some froyo? We are ad portas of getting gingerbread. I'll keep my tab with all its imperfections.

Just remember that the Galaxy S launched BEFORE the Streak did, and it's just now getting official Froyo in some regions too (none of which are Canada).

yeah I might hold off, i wish i could find a tab and a streak to play with side by side lol

That's why I returned my captivate and kept my nexus one.

I just couldn't give up the 4" SAMOLED. This is my fourth Galaxy S device, Tab I guess makes five.

:O I am definitely visiting the bell store tomorrow and hope they are in stock.

I should also mention they have a $10 Bell Mobile TV plan that doesn't use your data bucket, and the store I was in actually already had accessories:
Two different Roots sleeves (one a nylon zipper job with external pockets for other crap, one a pleather book cover sleeve that you slid the Tab in from the side and secured with a magnetic flap) and a generic pleather folio that used elastic to hold the Tab in place and a leather slide flap to secure it closed.
Plus Futureshop here already has Zagg full body Invisibleshields for them ($39).
This is totally better than the Galaxy S launch up here, where there wasn't **** for accessories for weeks.
What they did NOT have were extra 30-pin cables or car chargers.

So the bell store at Fairview mall refused to sell me one without signing a plan. Even though I'm an exsisting customer.

Really? I just got mine half an hour ago with no plan and no activation fee. It was funny they had to check the release date then just sold me it and said i was the first to own one bought at that store. I find it strange that the stores only recieved two of them, store thought so too. Im sooo happy its finally mine

Lol I was so suprised that it actually had two in stock I thought for sure I'd have to wait a few days or weeks. We actually have three bell stores in our small city, the one I went to was the only one with them. Its the first time I actually like being here.

anyone can tell me if it's locked and if there's the same bell system app that the Galaxy S?

Early upgrade for high value customers...

Fyi, till December 31, in corporate retail stores sprint has a targeted offer to allow upgrades many months in advance for "high value" customers. Basically I've seen customers with bills averaging over 130 getting upgrades available as early as 9 months before true eligibility. Only way to check is to actually go in to a corporate retail store and have them look at your account. Under offers for your line it will say early hup. Manager has to override price but you could hit the upgrade lottery
This will NOT be reflected online, on the phone, or through any other method than physically setting foot in the retail store. Just FYI. Good luck.
Please don't repost this, it's only for my epic brethren.

Yeah I feel the same way.. sure, I can roll the dice and see if I can drop 200$ on an early upgrade E4GT, but it's not THAT much better to burn my upgrade so early.

I got my daughter the epic touch; it is pretty nice. ROMs are still maturing though.
How spoiled are we when custom rom selection effects phone selection

my wife is due for an upgrade in june, but they told her about this in store a few daysw ago. same rep almost sold her an "iphone4g" for 99 bucks saying it was on sale.
im glad i changed the pin number a few weeks ago, or i wouldve had to have stabbed someone.

I just found out about this and walked out with a new Epic touch for the wife and I.
I called sprint to see if I could get around the $36 activation fee. What we ended up doing was the allowed me to buy out my term for $45 each then he credited me $100 on my account and waived the activation fees!
Sweet!
So I went to post it here and found this thread!

No upgrade for me until a decent LTE phone arrives.

That's my plan too. I'm still enjoying my epic, and I don't see any need to upgrade before then

Is there a way to find out if one of those stores are near me?

Yeah, as much as I like new toys to play with (root, rom etc.) there's nothing available that would even tempt me out of my $200.. now if Sprint gets the Galaxy Nexus in the next couple days.. that might be a different story (my buddy keeps sending me pics and updates about which roms he's flashed etc.. he just got the damn nexus today.. lol)

Our account is just over $130/mo with taxes and such... 2x (SeroP + 4G + $8 TEP). Anyways, my wife has been complaining so much about her Evo, and won't let me root/rom it that I want to get her an iPhone just to shut her up...

I managed to pick up an epic touch for cheap without using my upgrade, but I have to say I would hold onto my upgrade if I didn't have other options. Phones in 2012 will be quad core, amoled hd, and lte. But if you are desperate, it is another option for you.

I am happy I didn't jump on the upgrades a few months ago when I could. Now my upgrade comes in July right when the new LTE phones come out. So everything works out if you let it
Thanks OP for the info though.

Yup this is no bull. All of my lines are eligible.

Where to sell cracked Nexus 7 in Miami area?

Hi, unfortunately my Nexus 7 fell out of its case and now the screen is cracked. I'm using it with a mouse and keyboard now, as the touchscreen is the only thing not working.
I'm travelling right now and will be in the States for a few days, Fort Lauderdale and Miami to be exact.
As it'll be my first time in the country, I was wondering if someone could tell me if there are shops where I could sell my cracked Nexus 7 and how much I could expect?
Also, where can I buy a used Galaxy Nexus there?
Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

We don't really have stuff like that here dude. There's shops by Miami international airport but I wouldn't recommend that. Try putting it in craigslist and list it as for parts.
BTW craigslist.com is a classifieds site, not sure if you know that since you're not from the US.

man if you make it here to orlando I might be needing one by the looks of it. Trade you for one with a google screen all nice and pretty, but on a serious note if you are in orlando maybe we can work something out. i would travel down there but It is a drive and I am only out there when heading to the ports Ft.Lauderdale or by South Beach that won't be until March next year.

Hey, yes it'd be cool if we could work something out. I am going to be in Miami between the 18th and 21st of this month. I am not looking for another Nexus 7, as I'm heading down to South America for another month and a Galaxy Nexus would be perfect in terms of portability. Let me know what you think!

If you're going to be in the USA for more than 3-4 days and you know someone here, I would recommend you just buy it through the Play store (or have them buy it and pay them back when you get here). It's 2-3 days shipping as they force you to pay for that and it's about $10 on top of the cost of the phone + tax.
The main reason is that if someone is selling what is more or less a new phone on Craigslist, there is a VERY high probability something is wrong with it. Like a friend of mine who going a Galaxy S III off eBay and now is stuck with a piece of crap that reboots itself randomly 5-6 times a day...or like when I bought a GS2 off Craigslist only to find it randomly powers off whenever it feels like it. So even if it seems fine when you check it out, you might be buying crap.
In other words, you are probably buying someone's problems in the high end phone area. You might also consider buying it new from a place that sells phones off contract. Most retails stores allow that as well. Not worth the $50-75 you might save buying it "used" off Craigslist.

if you want, id be interested in purchasing it from you. just let me know how much you are asking and maybe we can work something out.

Thanks for the info. Do you know how much tax it will be? From what I've read it should be 6% in Florida. Is that right? Buying it brand new is also an option for me, as it is still considerably cheaper than in the UK. From a quick search it seems most retailers don't sell the Galaxy Nexus for $349, as offered in the Play Store. Am I right in believing that?

Looks like 7% in Miami. Yes, $349 is the MSRP, so $373 should be your price when all done. Unless you go Play store, then add about another $9-12 for shipping.

Evo LTE fiasco...
Basically the launch delay due to shipments being held by US Customs (due to Apple infringement claim). As they were gradually let out, Sprint had first pick at them while third-parties (like Wirefly) were way down on the list. Don't know when their customers finally got them (I ended up cancelling). Learned my lesson! Not saying that you'll have the same experience, but since this is limited quantities, know that Wirefly will get the left-overs.

That is why I put "preordered FOR" and not "preordered FROM". Some people may get it from an AT&T store, some Best Buy, Some from HTC but that part isn't all that relevant.(for this poll).
The poll is also open until the 18th. If Tmobile doesn't offer it before that from them than it is not a pre-order .

Keep the votes coming guys! I know more people preordered than this .

I would be more concerned that you ordered the Black one for Sprint. The black version is not in the SKU system for Best Buy and it is not available directly from Sprint for preorder and they do not have the slightest clue when the black one will be released. (Expect end of May or June)

Galaxy note 3 Simfree UK Price?

Hey everyone, anyone got any idea how much the note 3 will be simfree in the UK I've got an s3 at the moment and I bloody hate it need something a lot more powerful with a better screen and screen size. I'd be willing to pay like 500-550 although wouldn't be willing to pay over the odds like 700 for it or what they normally try to charge. So yeah anyone got any idea on how much the note 3 will be simfree only as I really don't want to be stuck in and tied down to a contract.

Had to return 2 consecutive GN1 to them which cost me over 200 bucks because the first one had a bad screen bleed and second with bad dead pixels.

I went black, I've always done black/silver/dark. anything white and I feel like someone might comment on my iphone -_-
I think I waited last time only white was available for the note 2? or something like that, I just held off until the silver was available, think it was the note 2?

what, spigen screen protectors are mid october in your hands? fck need a temp screen protector asap. link me to what you got? curious to see.
I was going to do a hybrid case but I don't like our already large phone, to be larger. that's why I've always got back replacements, never back/sides or even a complete case that covers the back piece.
from what I read, the spigen screen protector I got from amazon is available 20 september, say 10 days to get here. makes 30th, then if the note 3 is released 25th, say 5 days which is what I can remember how long it took last time, might both be bang on? and 10 days for the spigen is stretching it, I reckon it'll be like 5 days or 7 max

Check out clove UK. I've pre-ordered mine there last night... It will probably end up costing me 725 aussie dollars with FedEx shipping

How? Cloves prices without VAT is 495 pounds.. Converting that to aussie dollars gives 838 .

Haha.. Sorry... Oops... I did euro to aussie dollars instead of pounds to aussie... Too much headphone buying from Germany hence the habit of euro to aussie conversion...
