Here are Wind Mobile’s upcoming Boxing Day specials
Over the next few days all the carriers and retailers will be husting it out and offering up some last minute deals before the year ends. We’ve now been sent WIND Mobile’s upcoming Boxing Day special, which are titled “99 Ways to Love WIND”. The focus is clearly on the $99 number and everything is effective December 26th-31st, 2011. In total there are 3 “lead offers” and a couple “door crashers”… here they are:
- Lead Offer #1: Get one of the season’s hottest smartphones for only $99 on WINDtab+: BlackBerry Bold 9900, BlackBerry Torch 9810 and HTC Amaze 4G. The fine print from the internal doc states that “Customers will be able to purchase one of these phones with on WINDtab+ when they activate on the Oh Canada plan, Holiday Miracle plan, or Genius plan” – this also means that the Holiday Miracle plan will be extended to the end of the month.
- Lead Offer #2: Get a $99 off of a BlackBerry Curve 9360: This basically drops the price of the Curve to $250, but its only for new activations.
- Lead Offer #3: Get one year of data plus a WINDspeed Mobile Internet Stick for only $99: The data stick is the E169 and the data plan is the 12 months of the 1GB/month Mobile Internet plan.
- Door Crasher #1: Get a BlackBerry Playbook 32GB for $99 when you activate any Blackberry: This is only available on December 26th and select locations (listed in the internal doc below), plus you have to purchase a new BlackBerry Bold 9900, BlackBerry Torch 9810, or BlackBerry Curve 9360 on a monthly plan of $25/month or greater. Also, there will only be 5 32GB PlayBooks at each location.
- Door Crasher #2: Get a free gift with the purchase of a Google Nexus S or LG Optimus 2X: Yawn. When you buy either of these devices and sign up on a $25 or higher plan you’ll score a free LG HDMI cable.
(Thanks tipster!)

If you see the first picture carefully, it states on the bottom. Windtab+ eligible on holiday miracle and genius plans.

tab = contract not that good of a deal

Seeing as there’s no cancellation fee, and you’re merely buying out the rest of the phone, I would have to disagree.
The exception is if you live in Quebec of course. Incredible contract laws there. But then you wouldn’t be with wind anyway.

Holy s**t, that HTC Amaze for 99$ with Windtab+, that’s pretty sick. Man, that phone already seemed like a decent option, now its a must get for Wind customers thinking of changing phone.

Not crazy about the whole tab concept, especially when your putting that much money on it. How does it get paid down? Im assuming a percentage of what your bill is goes towards the tab. So lets say 10% of your average bill goes towards the tab.
Lets say you average bill is $50 a month (higher then what most pay). IF your tab is 470, that would take…… 94 mths or 7 years and 8 mths….. Will your smartphone last 3 years let alone 8?
Just buy the phone full price and not be indeted to any company. Stick with them if they provide the service you expect and if not, peace.

And now, your move Mobilicity! Mobilicity, if you don’t come up with your Boxing Week Sale, I’d say that WINDmobile has muted you while negotiations continue!

Mobilicity definitely MUTED while they continue merger talks with WIND. Look at that Samsung Mini sale, a Pre-Boxing Week Sale, yet lasted all of 48 hours. Somebody definitely pulling Mobilicity’s destiny and it isn’t Mobilicity.
Mobilicity will definitely not be having a Boxing Week Sale…maybe a Closing Down Sale? Clearance Sale? Rollback to 2010?

Wind needs more phones on there network, more specifically smartphones. Im a wind customer but now im thinking of switching because seriously, there are so many great phones that i cant just stand there and wait for something that’s going to be compatible for there network. Ya the htc Amaze looks ok but with phones like GSII, Note, GNexus, lumia and many more coming out its hard to wait for them to release them or if its even possible since many dont have AWS. Of course im not going anywhere near the big three so probably with speakout which offer similar prices to wind. But im still a avid wind supporter but its just that they need new phones asap.

Galaxy Nexus is penta band, so… you can use it anywhere actually.
the Telus SG2 has aws, as far as i heard…

Ohh i know about the nexus working on wind but that’s really it… for smartphones (including the sg2 telus version). They also wont carry it for another few months and when they do it will be outdated by beasts with quad cores and who knows what. Wind Needs more phones or they wont be able to take down the big 3 for a long time.

One of the most standout feature of the Galaxy SII, if not most, is the Exynos SOC -the other variations just don’t compete.
WIND needs that 700MHz to stand a real chance at having a somewhat significant effect on the Big3.

With the data stick can we get the 3GB plan instead of 1GB I wonder how much that would cost?

As someone who has owned 4 android phones now, the Galaxy Nexus is the shizzle. I have not been this happy with a phone since the Treo 270 days (which is still in my ‘technology’ drawer and I have to say… Holy Chr*st, that thing is thick!).
Pay the extra money and get it shipped in from wherever and drop your Wind SIM in it. You will not be disappointed.
The Amaze 4G is pretty good as well but if you are a heavy user, be prepared to charge it 2x a day. It drains fairly quickly but it also charges in like 45 minutes. If you use Juice Defender and don’t watch movies on it, it will last a full day. HTC should have fixed that issue.

Kidding? They call this a deal? If they offeted those phones without a windtab+ or playbook w/o phone for $99 i would call it a deal. But now it’s just “1 reason why not to love wind- again”

After 14 years with FIDO switched to Wind. At $40, about half the monthly cost of what FIDO offered after 14 years. I use about 1,500 min a month – should have switched a long time ago
Network is good and fast. No hassles with sales staff – helpful actually. Brother with I4S likes my Nexus S.
Only trouble is if you travel a lot outside of the Wind zone the dollars can add up, but have not compared this part with the other major carriers. Do know that I will not get ripped by FIDO when I travel to the US and end up paying $2 per min for roaming.
Anyone who stays with the three bigs and spends most of their time in the Wind zone is paying way too much.
Even if you are not a Wind customer you are paying less because of Wind and Mobilicity’s competition. Cheers to them both, just seemed Wind worked better for me because their zone is bigger.

I’d be more impressed if they reduced the _price_ of the HTC Amaze by $150, instead of just reducing the down payment. Going into an agreement owing $470 (and paying it off $4/mo on the HMP) pretty much locks you in to using the handset for the full 3yr to get it wiped out.
On the surface the HTC at $99 might be a no-brainer against the Nexus S and Optimus 2X, but realizing it’s just a bigger obligation on leaving/upgrading makes it more of a decision.
