I hope that they do not lock the Hardware, like previously indicated in some leaked or maybe fake slides.

THERE ARE ANDROID PHONES THAT WILL WORK ON WIND!

Sorry for the yelling but a lot of people posting have been misinformed about the handsets that will work on WIND.

WIND operates on both the 1700Mhz and 2100Mhz frequencies and any phone that operates on BOTH of the frequencies will work on WIND.

Just a few handsets that will work on WIND are:

Nokia N900
Blackberry 9700
Huawei U8220 (Android)
HTC Dream (Android)
HTC Magic (Android)
Motorola Cliq (Android)
HTC MyTouch (Android)
Samsung Behold 2 (Android)

I’m waiting for WIND to launch in Edmonton and I’ll most likely be picking up an N900 whether they carry it or not.

Oshawa to Stoney Creek? I hope that they can do a roaming deal with Rogers because most newer AWS phones will still have the quad-GSM bands as well. I would like to use a WIND phone in Kingston.

not really, why support old tech? they will upgrade to 4g in time. there are plenty of phones that support the frequency, but i admit the choices are limited compared to the 850Mhz phones.

well if the rumours are true and T-mobile USA get the HD2 from HTC, then Wind will steal sales for sure if they offer it too. its easily the best phone out there. So good that Vodafone UK had to hold back sales so they can fulfill their iphone quota!

wind will only have AWS, there is no other band that they are offering. Therefore no jailbroken iphone will work at all. it must have that AWS band for the phone to work. go see T-Mobile USA for phones (look at the 3g ones only). T-Mobile have edge too, but wind wont which is why the iphone works on t-mobile.

I think everyone is in for a big disappointment. Don’t believe the hype! Congrats to Wind for making it in.
