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 [...]
The Complete Canadian Windows Phone 7 Device Line-Up
In our earlier post we highlighted the Windows Phone 7 devices that Microsoft talked about from their launch partners, which was just Telus in Canada. But not to worry, all 3 of the major operators here in Canada will have Windows Phone 7 devices, and here’s the run down of who and what they will [...]
Impressions: Bell Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S)
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 [...]
Bell’s Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant in Pictures
Late last week Bell released their Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant smartphone. If you’re not familiar with the Vibrant, it’s very much like Samsungs Captivate offered on AT&T but with a slightly different body. Overall, the Vibrant is a thin and light powerhouse of a device. The AMOLED screen is super bright and crisp to look [...]
Bell Launches Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant
Not to be left behind, Bell Canada has officially made the Galaxy S Vibrant available on their network. The Vibrant is pretty much the same – spec wise, as the AT&T Captivate, but the body of the devices are a little different. The Vibrant offers 16GB of memory that’s expandable to 32GB thanks to MicroSD [...]
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. Until now, if you live in the US or Canada and wanted the Legend, your only choice was the European version but with that version you never get the nice 3G speeds. Now that Virgin and Bell have [...]
HTC Legend Available from Bell and Virgin Mobile
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. Of course, that’s not much of a surprise, as Bell is the parent company of Virgin Mobile. What is odd is the price difference between the two [...]
Mobilicity Gets the Green Light to Launch
Late last week the CRTC gave the green light to Mobilicity to launch their mobile service Canada. Mobilicity is not ready to give out a date of when you will be able to subscribe, but they do say that they are expecting to launch in Toronto before the summer and then in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, [...]
Update on Wireless in Canada
It’s no secret that Canadians have been at the mercy of the “big three” cellphone carriers in Canada with little to no competition for far too long. So, how are we doing now that we have at least one new choice? The honest truth about consumer choice in Canadian cellular is that for a long [...]
Rogers Gets its Hand Slapped
In a mirror image of what is happening in the US, Rogers has been told to stop making claims of being the “most reliable’ network in Canada. Rogers has been making this claim for a long time now but Telus has finally taken them to task on these claims. What I’m really surprised at is [...]
