Samsung Galaxy Note 3-year pricing now scattered between $199 and $299

By on January 31, 2012 at 1:04pm in Mobile News


Yesterday it was officially revealed that all the Big 3 carriers would be releasing the Samsung Galaxy Note. The launch date is scheduled for February 14th and the only indication of a price was via Best Buy with Bell and TELUS both coming in at $249.99 on a 3-year. Now, one day later, it seems there’s a slight change in the pricing. Of course this could change at any moment, but Best Buy is now saying the Bell will make the Note available for $199.99 on a 3-year, TELUS will have it for $249.99, and Rogers will release it for $299.99. However, other big box retailer Future Shop shows the pricing at $249.99 for all carriers.

    • Seriously, does no one realize how much the 4S is on a 3-year? $269 for 32GB, $369 for 64GB. I don’t get why no one seems to complain about that.

    • @ Max – it is because the 4S is available in many sizes, and at least 85% of users are fine with 16GB. People who actually would utilize the larger sizes are willing to consider the price increase worthwhile.

      But the Note is only that one price — it’s not like you can pay $159/3yr for a smaller capacity Note.

  5. Notice they are saying this is what Best Buy and Future Shop are claiming, not the actual carriers. They just need to put an estimate on paper to begin drumming up pre-orders, none of those numbers are official in any form.

  6. It’s money grabbing at it’s finest! The carriers penalizing the first adopters of technology that almost always has bugs that need to be ironed out. It would be a nice change, if instead of charging a ridiculous price for those that get to be the guinea pigs, they get a discount instead! Penalize the loyal customer… that makes so much sense.

    • Rogers is carrying the LTE version. I believe Bell and Telus are as well, so many another carrier will get the non-LTE at some point.

  10. 199.99 makes more sense. Hell if the phone was 299.99 for a 3 year, you might as well buy the phone outright at that price.

  13. Newbie question and not really relevant to the contents of this article, but I’m new to Canada and don’t know anything about smartphones here and I’m getting conflicting information from various people.

    If I buy this phone outright, could I use it with Wind or another carrier except Bell / Rogers / Telus? I don’t care about LTE speeds – HSPA+ looks fast enough for me – but I want a good data plan without spending a fortune.

    (I believe I could buy an import phone and do this, but I’m worried about warranty issues.)

    Cheers

    • hi there CRL. welcome. unfortunately if you buy the product full price, even then you wont be able to use it with any carrier except for the one you purchased it from. You can have it unlocked and THEN it will work anywhere but it will void any warranty u have. my recommendation anyways is to go with Telus or Bell. they have good customer service in my experience as a client and as a retail employee (Bestbuy) calling their support lines. their networks are far superiour to the new entrants like WIND, Mobilicity and Videotron, despite what some of these fan boys might tell you.

      Koodo and Virgin both have excellent data-flex options, i recommend them for their flex rates and especially Virgin for their customer service.

      hope this helps.

    • Thanks for the clear answer to my question above. Much appreciated.

      So it sounds as if my choices are limited:

      1. Get the phone from one of the big three and pay crazy data prices.
      2. Get an unlocked phone from some source and have no warranty but pay more reasonable monthly rates.

  16. In the end on Rogers, the cancellation fee will still be your savings amount.

  18. Okay, first of all, Canada has the most expensive and outrageous phone & plan prices. We can complain if we want. Obviously this is happening because of the Big 3 and their competition to eat up all the air waves available to them. However, whoever purchases the 700mhz spectrum will be the top dog.

    • Matt R: Have you ever checked how it work in Australia? Sure, they run 2 year contracts there, but you pay a monthly fee for an allotment amount of dollars. Then that allotment gets deducted for data, sms, calls, shesh, there are CONNECTION FEES as well when placing calls.

      We may have excessively long contracts, but our plans are still MUCH better then a lot of how it works around the world. Research it. It’s really interesting.

  19. @mr. Reliable so you take the outlier country… have you ever been to Europe? or Japan, or Korea…. Aside wind and moblicity, and the city centric brands with city virgin, our TCO and contract lengths/restrictions/penalties are draconian comparitively, you just have to look down south to see a 20% decrease in cost and 33% shorter term length.

  20. Not sure if you can trust the “specifications” pages but the bell one looks to be n7000 since its download is 21mbps. the telus specifically states lte and the rogers specs state 100mbps.

    • All 3 carriers will have the same phone – I717, not N7000. HSPA+ speeds are listed because not all areas have LTE coverage. If there is no LTE coverage, you use HSPA+.

  22. to tom@bbm great answer for crl but i have a question for you where did you get the information that simply unlocking a phone would void a warranty ? i have an atrix which i own and can’t find anything to say my warranty is void because i unlocked my phone. rooting yes but not unlocking. thanks

    • So, which carrier do you use, if you don’t mind my asking? I’m getting so confused trying to work out which carriers do what.

      At first I thought it was as simple as

      If LTE then
      Bell + Rogers + Telus
      ElseIf HSPA+ then
      other_carriers
      EndIf

      But it seems that was wrong!
      Thanks
