Sometimes the carriers surprise me. Other times, not so much. Recently, Canadian carriers announced that they start to provide an unlocking service for $50.

The Venue Pro from Dell has certainly been one of the most controversial Windows Phone 7 devices since the platform launched. If it isn’t problems with the WiFi radio, it’s availability issues.

Windows Phone 7 Launch Day is a Bit Fuzzy

The day has finally arrived!! Windows Phone 7 has launched in Canada and is available at Bell, TELUS and Rogers. Or is it?? From both email communications and doing some calling it looks like you won’t be able to get your hands on a new Windows Phone 7 unless the stars align just so. The [...]

A very nice phone with all the bells and whistles but just a little bit uninspiring. For the last week I have been using the Samsung Vibrant from Bell and am liking it.  I can’t say I love it, but it really is quite nice. The Samsung Vibrant is part of the Galaxy S line [...]

Unboxing the HTC Legend from Bell and Virgin Mobile

Virgin Mobile and it’s parent company Bell, have launched the HTC Legend with North American 3G frequencies.

Late last week Virgin Mobile was the first to announce availability of the HTC Legend to Canadians. Now Bell has added the Legend to their list of devices.
