ALso how is CDMA inferior? It is a solid network unlike the the new Bell Telus HSPA network, they still have to work out the kinks in that. RE: CDMA 8530

The 8520 is GSM and not HSPA 3G that’s why they won’t have the ’20. ALso how is CDMA inferior? It is a solid network unlike the the new Bell Telus HSPA network, they still have to work out the kinks in that.

Will they do something to it like putting drugs in a drink. I know they're basically the same company but how can bell live with itself knowing that virgin's rates are much cheaper than bells?

Kind of ridiculous that Bell and Telus are still releasing inferior, more expensive to manufacture CDMA devices. Why release the CDMA 8530 when you can get the 8520?

Next JDPowers survey will once again say that Virgin has the best voice quality and best reception; just like it did last year. Meanwhile Bell's rating will be much lower. It's proof that marketing is very persuasive, to the point of altering facts. This “LaunchN is all a farce since the network has been up for months.

Insane how they can just 'create' other brands in an attempt to 'trick' people into thinking they have more choice. Should be illegal. uhhh, you mean they’re launches devices for Bell’s new network?

However now WIND is experiencing some serious network problems and I am not in the Home Zone for a while, I will certainly consider staying with Virgin (or moving over to DAVE) IF the no contract plans are good. If Virgin just turns out the same basic plans as it's parent company Bell however, I don't really see the point in staying.
