Amazon Canada is? Where? Or you mean US?
Contracts in the US are usually 2 years, so if it's $99 for a 3 year and $200 for a 2 year for an iPhone that isn't a direct comparison.

Not sure, but I see Telus is selling the S3 for $99 on a 3 year contract. Say what you want, but if someone signs a 3 year contract, they expect to pay less for the phone. Hundred dollar different is a lot.

The price dropped with the iPhone being expected to release, I think.
For what its worth, unlocked prices are pretty similar.

It is $99 for the two year contract. Which is what the Canadian carriers do for the 3 year up here it seems.

That's on sale. iPhone 4S is also on sale for $99. EDIT: Which doesn't reflect the price drop due to the iPhone 5 introduction yet.
When the iPhone 5 has been out for a while it'll go on sale for $99 too.

A lot of people were saying $850 for the unlocked iPhone5. Guess they were wrong.

From what I understand the S3 at $99 is a limited time thing. In the past few weeks the iPhone 4S dropped in price to $99 and the S3 followed suit. I expect we'll see the price jump back up in the near future, though I could be wrong.

I like the weight though, feels more solid. The lighter phones feel like plastic toys. It's not like my arm gets tired with either one.

No, that's exactly what the price will be for the 64 GB one just as it was for the 4S.

Is the lightning connector faster? If not it's clearly a crouch grab to sell more accessories. Being able to plug it in either direction is nice though.

Sounds like it was for saving space- to make the phone both thinner and lighter.
Converter will probably be 10$, based on the Magsafe converter.

Bluetooth on the new Nano will be sweet - bluetooth earphones for working out. Nothing wired.
