Galaxy S III - Canadian Networks

---

Hi All,

I just saw that Rogers & Wind Mobile are pre-registering for Samsung Galaxy S3... Any one knows what is the release date in Canada?

Not at this point in time. I've asked people at a few kiosks (Telus, Rogers, Bell, Sasktel) but no response.

However, if you order through Expansys or Amazon.com, I'm sure it will be sooner than the rest of Canada.

If I'm going to hazard a guess, before the Olympics officially opens up.

Samsung Canada is holding an interactive learning session with Canadian carriers for training towards the Galaxy S III Canadian release. LINK HERE.

There is a good possibility that it will release either right after training, or earlier than that. Rogers is most likely going to be getting the LTE variant (Just look what happened with the HTC One X) however the T-Mobile version passed FCC with an HSPA+ model which could very well be the Quad-Core variant, and normally TELUS gets the same phones. As for bell, depending on what part of Canada you live in, they usually run on the same towers as TELUS - For example, I'm in Kelowna BC and they operate through TELUS' towers.

Because I live outside of the 1700 MHz frequency I wouldn't have need for an LTE Device, and because my current phone is starting to fall apart I've decided to just order the international version online (Ships on May 29th if you order through Negri Electronics).

Hope this helps.

Looks like June 20th!
