Wow, that is a nice price.

Where does it say it is locked to Bell?

Does the Bell version have the same radios as the Rogers version? It probabyl does but that would be my only concern, otherwise awesome deal, might have to go for this when Rogers cancels the price error purchases.

I got an email from them .. apparently they do have two locations so wouldn't hurt to simply visit and judge for yourself.

Heres the email below.. never dealt them before myself so buyer beware..

More than likely the S2 and this is mislabeled...why would the S3 be in 'clearance' when it just came out?

And +1 on the above comment regarding shady...from what I've read from other threads, these guys just buy old/broken phones, fix them up (they cobble them together with parts from various units) and resell them as new, hence 'buy n cell'...

Exactly, they are selling the international version here. This is the quad-core with NO LTE.
And this is how they are selling for less.

If they're charging $45 to unlock it, that's wayy too much!

You can get it unlocked for at least $10 cheaper (if you want same day unlock; 1-3 hours.. Usually under 15 minutes.).

If it's a Bell or Virgin, the slow unlock (1-3 days) is $20 cheaper.

Rogers & Bell can be unlocked for $30 cheaper than what they're charging.
