Even ninjas Need to stay connected Today is Friday, March 12th, 2010
No I am not crazy. Today comes word from TMN’s own KJB_Ninja that Telus & Motorola will be launching a Android handset with a touchscreen for IDEN. I am a former MIKE user and I am sure a lot of people will enjoy this. Unfortunately we do not have any news as [...] Riley Freeman | November 16th, 2009 | Continued Its official. Telus has finally released the hotly anticipated Motorola Milestone on their HSPA network. This is the official North American debut of this device. The Motorola Driod is only available on Verizon’s CDMA network. This is a Telus exclusive and is not expected to be released on any of Canada’s 2 other HSPA networks [...] RIM issued a press release and has updated its website to feature is new BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express. This gives small businesses access to Microsoft exchange or Windows Business Server for free with all the security of regular BES. This also works with any data plan. This means even with you BIS plan you can [...] It has been a long long time coming but Windows Phone 7 Series has finally been unveiled. Engadget has a video and so does MSDN. I have watched both videos and there are a lot of pros and some cons. Riley Freeman | November 16th, 2009 | Continued Not much else to say but Told ya maybe stick out my tongue for good measure? var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, [...] Blackberry yesterday teased the soon to be launched Blackberry 9650 which is replacing the current Blackberry Tour 9630. The Blackberry 9650 is an updated version of the Tour with two key hardware changes. The new Tour will have Wi-Fi and trackpad. A quite little update on their Facebook page that was soon to be never [...] It’s official! The long awaited and highly speculated Apple Tablet has been announced. The name you ask? iPad. Out of all the names floating around the interwebs this was not one of them and totally not as cool! Come on Apple! Like some of the cooler names on the net such as iSlate(Personal favourite) and iTablet. I wonder [...] I have been holding on to this one for a little bit longer than I wanted to but here we go. Telus will be implementing price increases to unlimited data and long distance features. From my understanding clients will be contacted starting the 4th and this will be starting March4th. The price increases are as [...] I just received a tip that a new TAB option has popped up in WIND’s inventory system. If you are familiar with Koodo, then you will understand how the system works. No official confirmation or explanation has been sent out as of yet. This is good news for those that cannot or [...] Riley Freeman | November 16th, 2009 | Continued The information just keeps rolling in. As expected there will be internal caps that WIND will monitor to flag potential network abuse. We all knew data caps would likely happen, but I never thought phone call caps would be in place. I do understand the need for this, so I can’t fault [...] Riley Freeman | November 16th, 2009 | Continued I won’t write much for this because there’s not much to say. Wind is not going anywhere for those of you waiting for them. The target launch day is December 1st for those of you holding out. I am keeping the info I post about Wind to a minimum as I do not want to give the big 3 any advantages. Good Luck Wind. Join the discussion in the forums

Comment by Arshad on 16 November 2009:
Now THAT is news! I really do hope they go through with the December 1st launch and nothing gets in their way. This will surely let Wind to tell Bell and Rogers to take their offers to buy Wind’s spectrum as if they’re doing Wind a favour and shove it where the light don’t shine…

My heart wants to believe you so badly, but my head urges caution.
Of course, I want to know the reliability of your source but I know I shouldn’t ask. I’m on the verge of signing a contract because I want that Bold 9700 but WIND could launch in a mere two weeks. I’m on the breaking point.
What a catch-22.

My source is very reliable. It’s a “target” launch date by no means is it guaranteed.

Whether Winds ends up launching or not (and I’ve come to trust Riley’s intel!) I really think it’s an awful time to even consider locking in for 3 years right now.
New options are coming, and I really think this whole Wind debacle with the CRTC/Industry Canada is going to lead to changes in the wireless industry that may finally see consumers get some real choice from the big internationals.

I know, I even had a whole game plan mapped out to have someone take over my contract while still keeping my phone number.
Just had a near breaking-point yesterday…better today with news that some MPs are siding with Globalive (Marc Garneau).
It’s kinda funny because just over a year ago, I purchased a phone from HK then went to sign a three-year with Rogers…so stupid of me.

Comment by Jeeverz on 16 November 2009:
For the CRTC dropping that bomb… December 1st is a very very reasonable launch date.
Power to the people !

Comment by Habib Q on 16 November 2009:
If this is true, this is excellent news, I pre-ordered the n900, and this means I can have 3G and not have to use Rogers EDGE system.
Oh please be true

Habib Q – YOu know the N900 only works on AWS 3G(tmobile in the USA and currently no network in Canada. This will not work on telus or bell’s new 3G and will only work on roger’s 2G network.

Theoretically you should be able to use 3G on Fido: 850/2100. http://gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_ca.shtml

Woohoo!
Now, only if we knew something about the plans *wink wink*
As far the phones are concerned, i’m surprised there isn’t a wider selection. I believe this is partly because of their AWS band.

Comment by Mikie on 17 November 2009:

Screw Rogers. F**k Telus. Ring the Bell. Time’s up. Even if it isn’t December 1st. It’s surely coming. Great news.

Comment by Wenyen on 25 November 2009:
It’s nice how there’s other companies coming in as competition. However, I see that Wind uses UMTS 1700…which still make phones slightly limited.
I guess for those who care about phones, better think twice before looking into wind. For those who only care about plans, it’s a fantastic news!

Huh? Any phone that works on wind will also work on robbers… just at a lower speed. How is that limiting? It means that your phone will basically be compatible with *EVERY* gsm network *in the world*, with the exception of bell/telus.
