Haven't seen any rumours about phone deals, but don't care anymore since I'm jumping off the subsidized bandwagon. Any deal out there will almost certainly require you to sign up for an in-market plan, so meh.

I'm in the market too. Likely going to buy one outright because I'm not getting rid of my 6gb superplan from 4 years ago.

I think phones like Honor 8 and Axon 7 might get good discount. I don't know if Samsung will give good discounts through their retail stores. OP3 is no more and OP3T is over priced for Canada so best bet is Honor 8 or Axon 7

Ok so Axon 7 deals will be online?
Lets see.. I do not know what is Honor 8
Blackbarry Dtek60 came to EEP at $550 and a guy who works in blackberry was helping the rfders buy at that price but some idiots posted that link on Crackberry and reditt and that killed that deal.

The end came for me (for light roast coffee) when the tasting notes at a light roast shop in Portland said: "Hints of citrus, star anise & coffee" - Unknown on the internet

Yea you have to buy it through Newegg. I was torn between OP3 and Axon 7 and leaning toward OP3 but they've stop making OP3 and introduced OP3T at a markup. Axon 7 looks good now.

Slight deviation.. what can we expect for plans for Black Friday? I need a new Rogers plan so I can get Wifi calling.
(so it's either this or get an SK plan off kijiji.)

Yes, they are doing a $100 off on the Axon 7 Mini, for Black Friday, so $200 USD before taxes. Pretty good deal. I haven't heard any details on how much the discount will be on the regular sized Axon 7. Would be nice if also $100 USD off.
For comparison, the other phone that might be of interest and sold on Newegg - Honor 8 , the discount in the US for Black Friday is going to be $50 off, but it's the bundle with headphones and gifts.
It looks like ZTE is planing to be more aggressive with discounts.

I've never heard of Axon or Honor. How do they compare to Galaxys?

Jumped on Newegg.ca's Honor 8 deal. Tough to beat their price of $479, plus you also get a silver case, selfie stick, USB type-C cable, power adapter, micro USB to type-C Converter, and some limited edition Coach JBL headphones.

The case will be useless for me, and I'll probably just sell the headphones.

Does Bell normally put out better promotional plans. I'm due for an upgrade.

Joke post? Are you asking for a comparison between $500 and $800 phones?

Honor 8 is about 100$ cheaper than axon 7, and it has a much better camera.

Yes. Don't see the issue with that question. Obviously the Galaxy is better, but if Axon or Honor are still good phones they could be worth the $300 savings. If they are crap compared to the Galaxy then maybe it is worth shelling out the extra dough.
