Thanks to Best Buy Canada, we know how much two of the major carriers in the country will ask for the Samsung Galaxy Note II. The electronics retailer is listing the phone with 3-year contracts from Bell and TELUS with a price tag of $149.99. Unfortunately, Rogers Wireless is not on the list, though we assume their price will be in the same range.
As for non-contract pricing, the Galaxy Note II will most likely costs somewhere between $650 and $750, and in that sense we doubt carriers will be able to move a ton of these without contracts.
For those of you living under a rock, the Galaxy Note II supersedes the original Note phablet, rocking a huge 5.5-inch 720p screen, 3G/4G and Wi-Fi connectivity, 8-megapixel camera on the back, 2-megapixel front-facing one, GPS, Bluetooth, and other “standard Android goodies.”
UPDATE: Looks like Rogers will sell the Galaxy Note II for $249.99.
