For any interested Canadians..

Well I've been lurking on this site for three weeks reading all I can about the 1520. I've been interested in this phone for some time and have been sorting out all the variants and their specs. This has been one of the most difficult purchases I've made in a while, but I went with Expansys and ordered a B-Stock RM-937 for under $500 Cdn. For the price I thought why not take a chance.

Thank you all for your posts, this forum really helped.

What's B stock? Refurb? New I've seen on Kijiji for $600. Cheapest I've seen recently.

B stock is a return or repackaged from a return. Generally can't tell them from new.

1520 unlocked? I wanna ditch my Samsung on Bell... Just transfer SIM right?

I read somewhere that with the 937 you'll have to forego LTE with bell. For me, since the majority of data will be via WiFi I really didn't care, connection speed isn't a deal breaker. I'll be using the phone on the Fido network myself.

Last time I checked Expanses still had a 937 in yellow b-stock if you're interested.

I also got one, but unfortunately my one is locked to at&t ...i'm stuck ...Anyone know to unlock it ?

I had terrible issues with my AT&T 920. No one had codes and AT&T didn't release the code for about 8 months. No amount of whining or yelling worked.
Good luck.

Lol I remember having that same issue. I had the cyan 900 and waited like 3 months before ditching it because I couldn't unlock it.

Your Samsung probably has a micro sim. The 1520 uses a nano sim. Any Bell store can hook you up. I also went from Ativ S to 1520.

If you get the 938 or 1520.3 then it will work for Bell on LTE including the new 700mhz bands they are turning on now. It will also work on the AWS carriers like Wind. I got mine from Omega Cell in Alberta.
