Canada already has an 850Mhz Version and has had for some time on Bell Canada. They may be short of stock but they aren’t short on making an 850Mhz version of the Galaxy S. It’s called a Samsung Galaxy S i9000m

Quite believable, they’re planning the launch within the first few days of September

I just spoke to three over the phone to cancel my current plan. They said the Galaxy will be out with them in the next 1.5 to 2 weeks. Not sure how believable that is though.

Does anyone know if I can apply for a free optus phone upgrade today? I signed a 24 month contract on 19/11/08 as my galaxy s is on hold for me today at store. Or do I still have to wait?

Did any one managed to get the black leather case?

I don’t doubt that at all. Samsung are already having a hard time keeping stock on the shelf for Optus and Virgin. Trying to keep up with a completely separate handset for Telstra would be a really hard thing to do at this point in time.

‘HTC’: yeah, sorry, I meant ‘Samsung’. I had ‘HTC’ on the brain when I wrote that.

And my source? My source is someone deep in Telstra’s mobile division who is working on their Galaxy S rollout. He was surprised when I told him about Optus getting an extra month of exclusivity. He laughed and told me the ‘real story’ which is that Samsung can’t supply Telstra with supplies of the Next G handset.

So take that, doubters.

The new goodies are not ‘free’ from all I can tell. You do have to pay for them…

I ordered my Galaxy from Optus online on Monday and I’m still waiting (impatiently though). I called them on Tuesday to make sure my order had gone through and they said I would receive it in 5 working days, but probably less.

Anyone else ordered around the same time? Or has gotten their mobile this week? Just wondering if how accurate is that ETA since I read their stock is very low atm…

yep i’m just waiting for Virgin to update there other plans and also 2 new HTC phones are about to be released the Desire HD and the Desire Z(version with keyboard) so i’m expecting a price drop very soon and i hate buying stuff when another price drop is imminent.

I’d actually be interested in doing that…If I got a Desire with Telstra, would you be willing to swap for the Samsung Galaxy S?
