Samsung Galaxy S2

[jojo1151]

is it possible for us (rogers customers) to buy the phone from bell/virgin, unlock it, and use it with rogers service?

[Arkham]

That's possible.  You could also order it from the UK or somewhere else online if you find a better price.  Many people on the XDA-Developers forum have done that.

would unlocking it kill the warrantee?  would samsung warantee it? or would bell/virgin?

[Arkham]

Unlocking generally voids the warranty, but I don't have any experience with that. You're best off just googling the info. Good luck.

ive decided im just going to wait for Rogers to get the Nexus Prime...booya

[dtsean]

technical aspect: i believe the phone is sold unlocked.  

if rogers says that it will launch S2 later this year, why bother waiting? There will be better phones available in Q3/Q4

The international version has no warranty in north america, but I don't see it being a problem buying it from bell/virgin and brining it to rogers.

Sad news for all

I went today to 2 Rogers Store in downtown Montreal. Spoke with the managers in each store.

They confirm to me that Rogers WON'T get the Samsung Galaxy II. They choose to go with the Samsung Infuse 4G, HTC EVO 3D & LG Optimus 3D instead.
