Telus - Refurb Galaxy S II X $400 - Team Webstore $340 -no term

will the iphone be locked? The iphone price does not make sense, no term for $449 and 3 year term for $259? Is it a price error?

since when any carrier make sense

I just want to confirm, will the Galaxy SIIX work on Wind or Mobilicity?

On this site, it says that the Telus version has HSDPA 1700 / 2100 / 1900 (which would indicate that it would work on AWS carriers)

Also, does anyone know whether these refurbs carry any warranty?

Just wondering if I buy the iphone 4S with no term, would Telus unlock it for me for free? As there is no contract associate with it and I am paying "full" price for it? The price is pretty good for iphone, but I don't want a Telus locked iphone that there is no way to unlock.

My understanding the phone has to be used on the Telus network for a set period of time, a minimum of 3 months I think. Telus does charge a $50 'unlocking' fee after said period of time.

I've been using this on Wind since December with no issues with the phone. Reception is mostly good unless you go deep inside the buildings on bay or underground. Unlock is $20 online. Wind tech support won't support this, so if you get any problems you're on your own.

Edit: I used this place to unlock https://www.mobileincanada.com/How-To-U ... -Cellphone

Problem is that unlike Rogers and Fido, I believe from what I'v heard, Telus does not have a policy to unlock out of contract iphone for $50, so is that kind of crapshot if I want it unlocked?

Yes the SII X does work on Mobilicity/Wind.

Question to those who know, is it only Telus stores doing this or is FS and BB also honouring this? Lastly one can just walk up and get it right? I.e. non Telus customers? I hope stock is good.

Also, does any one know what is the return/exchange policy buying from Telus online? Also, do you have to pay at least one month of service fees even if you buy it with no terms or can you just get the phone without any service?

According to this howardforum thread, Telus does not unlock their Iphone 4s. However, it may be possible soon.

Is it worth sellling my galaxy nexus for the s2x

Does this S2X work with Rogers after unlock?

BTW, does this phone restricted from updating custom rom since it's a variant from the original s2 line?

Thanks.

The Nexus Prime uses relatively outdated CPU/GPU compared to the S2x (even though the S2x isn't as great as the i9100 S2), has a crappier camera, and uses a Pentile screen.

The biggest benefit the Prime has over any GS2 is the larger 720p screen resolution and that might be more valuable than the faster CPU/better camera/non-pentile screen for some people. It also is optimized perfectly for ICS and Google's OS support is much better than Samsung (even though both are made by Samsung).

I would try out a GS2x to see if you can handle the 800X480 resolution (I personally don't think I could revert from 720p to 800x480; that is my biggest complaint about my GS2).

Does rogers sell similar refreshed iphones?

I'm so tempted right now. Waiting for the iphone 5, but this seems like a really good deal for the 64gb one. Does anyone know if you can add applecare warranty to the phone?

iPhone 4S 16GB for $349 - surely cheaper than anything you'd find on kijiji etc. plus comes with warranty (is AppleCare confirmed or is it considered a Telus refresh?) Is this at least semi-hot?

I don't see why it wouldn't work with Rogers after you unlock it (you can't use the unlock app in the store, you need to buy a code or get it unlocked at those places in the mall). I'm not too sure on what you mean on your 2nd point but if I follow correctly, this variant is similar or the same as the model in use by T-Mobile (t989 "Hercules"). There are active developments on xda forums for all different models of phones and I am sure there are custom roms for this variant too. You just can't use the custom roms intended for other variants of the GS2 (most North American carriers have a different variant in use).

You can add Apple care warranty when you add to cart .
