Fido Optimus 2X, Xperia Pro and Galaxy Q all launching in August
Yesterday we let you know that Fido was on the verge of releasing 3 new Android devices: LG Optimus 2X, Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro and Samsung Galaxy Q. If this plan-o-gram is correct then those who are itching to get hold of one of these will not have to wait long. The LG Optimus 2X will be launching “early August”, and so will the Samsung Galaxy Q. As for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro, this will be hitting Fido shelves “mid-August”. No word yet on price points but this is certainly a step up for the Fido lineup.
More soon!
(Thanks tipster!)

Honesty Fido is a good company. I am switching to them once they get the iphone 5 ( which i hope they do). It’s just they are slow on getting new phones out. With this i am sure a lot more people might wanna switch over from Rogers to Fido for only $100. ( YES i know Fido is owned by Rogers).

You should really wait for the Nexus Prime then, specs-wise it should trump the iphone 5!

That’s a great selection for Fido! If you are gonna go from Rogers to Fido for $100. Make sure you get your Save HUP or upgrade first from Rogers then jump.

@Tsubasa
You can’t save your upgrade if you wish to switch to Fido. The way the switch works is: 1. You must be at least 1 year into your current Rogers contract. 2. You have to call into Rogers and inform them of your intent. 3. You can’t cancel, you must port over your number to do the cancellation. 4. You pay the first $100 of your cancellation fee and fido pays off the rest.
What I’m getting at is that if you upgrade first the you have a new contract and can’t switch for 1 year.

Thats not true , you can HUP then switch to fido or vice versa . Its call interbrand migration and let me give you all the criterias ,which if u meet nothing else matters :
1- The phone number needs to be active under the same account for at least a year
2- you need to keep the same phone number (only port outs you are right on this)
3- Both new and old account need to be under the same name.
4- It will only work once , so it has to be your first time doing it.
5- You need to take a new agreement wether you`re going to fido or rogers.
6- If u go from fido to rogers and u meet all the criterias all ecf + decf will be credited after 15 days , If you do the opposite all ecf + decf after $100.00 will be credited after 15 days.
I’ve seen many customers do it and i even recommend customers to do it sometimes. If u meet all the criterias do your HUP , wait till the credits post on your invoice then do your one time intrebrand migration certified to work !

@ HK_Forever.
You need yo get a new phone & a new plan with Fido if you will switch from Rogers to Fido. The plan you have with rogers only stays with Rogers. Fido might be able to give you a equal plan you have a Rogers if they want too.

Ok, because Tsubasa said “Make sure you get your Save HUP or upgrade first from Rogers then jump.”
So I move to fido to finish the remaining contract with Rogers right?

Nope. Once you port you’re number over to Fido You will lose everything with Rogers. You become a New costumer of Fido now. Which means you have to sign up with either a 2 year plan or a 3 year plan with Fido in order to pay the $100 fee. He made a mistake since you can not Save you’re HUP. You start fresh once you leave Rogers & you go Fido.

Oh I see, but once I move to fido, my Rogers contract is finished even though there are 2 years left from a 3-year contract? I don’t have to pay extra to cancel beside the $100 fee?

Xperia Pro is single core, think of it as an Xperia Play with a keyboard instead of the gamepad. Same specs as the Arc too (except for the screen).

Thats nothing!! Wiat till you see what WIND has in store!
MORE Huawei phones, some Alka-Seltzer ones too! So do not get fooled into buying a phone with a warranty and manufacturer support! buy a WIND one and get the peace of mind knowing that your phone is not covered by the people that made it!
Jaaabroni!
