Samsung Galaxy S II coming to Canada by early Q3
Sammy’s mighty new flagship Android phone is confirmed coming to Canada. It’ll debut in late Q2 (at the earliest), but most likely will be launched in early Q3. So I guess there really is no truth to those Galaxy S II delay rumors after all. The Galaxy S II runs on a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, and comes packed with a 4.3-inch Super AMOLD Plus display, 8-MP AF camera with full 1080p HD recording, and 2-MP front-facing camera all housed in a svelte 8.49mm thin body.

Nokia W7 and W8 will lead the Windows Phone 7 march
It’s still way too early to call this, but if Eldar Murtazin’s info is spot on, the first pair of Nokia Windows Phone devices we’ll see hit the market will be the W7 and W8. The Nokia W7 will reportedly be akin to the X7, and will be the first out the door (ETA: late Q4 or Q1 2012). The Nokia W8 will be following suite in Q2 2012. This one, meanwhile, will be the WP7 counterpart of the N8. See a pattern here? As I said, nothing’s confirmed yet. But if it’s a specific Nokia Windows Phone roadmap you’re after (even if its unofficial), this is as good as it gets at the moment.
