I am interested in this phone but the unlock charges I see $30 to $50 is exorbitant. I am not sure what this phone looks like, most of the images I see the phones looks like the one OP posted but on the FS link the phone looks like below:

That looks like the S3 or the Note 2. The Ace 2X looks like a shorter stubbier version. It can be called Galaxy S2 Mini in some cases.

I noticed that too... I think they accidentally posted the pic for note2... Check out the picture for the white model for what it's actually supposed to look like. (front facing camera should be on the left side)

Yeah I am not sure too, but I found some pics from google that indicate this phone should look like the pic I posted with the camera to the right and more rectangle. If the phone looks like the white one it is fugly, too much oval shape and feminine. Maybe there are different carrier versions, don't know.

I don't really want a giftcard for FS or BB if there is an alternative
The Mobile Shop at Superstore does pricematch (from the flyer I just received 2 days ago). However, you will lose the referral bonus from BB.

Was going to get this to replace the HTC One V as I thought I read it was a dual core processory somewhere but can't find that now. this and the htc one v are both seeming to be low end phones that run 4.0

Thoughts?

Pretty sure it's the wrong picture... Checked out the bell website since they're on the same network and tend to offer similar phones and they had this:

With the $150 GC and $30 Reward points, it's pretty much free. You just have to figure out what to buy at BB with your GC.

Did you buy one Lypang? I know you bought a couple of S2s. I went to BB today, huge line up so I just left. Going to try again tomorrow. I asked the employee if I could buy more phones even though I have 4 activations on Virgin. He said he didn't know. Oh well. Will try again tomorrow.

I did stopped by today to confirm the $150 GC but they were busy so I didn't get 1 today.

Sometimes you just can't trust what they say, they need to process the contract in order to see how much the Tab is.
I saw a post at the S2X thread saying they got it for $150 Tab but I'll confirm that when I get a phone.
I can confirm the $30 BB reward will not go away, I already used $80 BB reward certificate last week from the phones that I cancelled 2 months ago.

Looks like they might have removed the deal from the website, not showing any GC now.
Could be a Friday special only :(
