  1. Nice, that’s 100$ cheaper that it was supposed to be. Bye bye Venue pro, hello sexy HD 7.

    • $599 was stupid since the more powerful Desire HD is $499

    • Major complaint about Bell Can HTC Windows 7 HD device; the screen CANNOT be seen or read outdoors in most light conditions…buyer beware!

  4. They were probably like this: goddamitt Telus, I thought we agreed to make those two phones ridiculously priced…… now we’ll have to lower our prices. I’ll never talk to you again!!!

  5. Way better priced than the Venue Pro, unfortunately since i’m stuck in a contract with Rogers [Retention Plan], if i want this, have to pay full price for it + unlock fee. But consaidering it’s only $499, it’s not a bad deal!

    • You also have to have a plan with Bell to buy the phone off-contract. So since you are stuck with Rogers, add in the cost of the activation fee and one month of service.

    • Bell as a Company does not unlock phones for a fee.

    • Bell actually will unlock any HSPA phone with the obvious exception of the iPhone for a $75 fee given that the phone has to be activated on prepaid or postpaid service for at least 30 days.

    • True, but with Telus, the phone has to be on postpaid service for at least 90 days, which makes is far more expensive to unlock.

  8. if you are looking at getting a WM7 phone i would suggest waiting.

    all signs point to a partnership between Nokia and Microsoft.

    Nokia build quality, Ovi Maps (free offline maping software) and WM7 OS would make for one killer device provided your onboard with WM7

  12. i just tried the link given with this story, but on the Bell site i found the no contract price is $599.95. so what abt this $499?
    moreover, no other price except the three contract one seem to suit with the price on the bell’s site.

  13. I checked the bell website and they claim it is $599.95 without contract. Maybe they changed the plan at the last minute.

  15. Great info,

    I went to all the cellphone shops in Vancouver to get my new BELL HTC HD7 unlocked so I could use it with Rogers none of the shops could do it, but one employee suggested I try ordering a code from

    www. HTCCodeSource.com

    I tried them and they emailed me with the unlock code in 10 minutes

    I entered it in the phone following the instructions they gave me and it worked perfect

    My BELL HD7 is now unlocked and working with my AT&T sim!

    Just wanted to suggest the site to those of you who need to get the unlock code

    HTCCodeSource.com

    it was 24 bucks and well worth it

    Cheers!

    Kevin
