Rogers launched their LTE (Long Term Evolution) network first, Bell was second and TELUS is now 3rd. Honestly though, does it really matter who claims top spot? From a consumer perspective wouldn’t you prefer the coverage, device selection and rate plans to be decent? That’s the angle TELUS took. 7-months after their competitors put the [...]
Samsung has always taken pride in making the screen the centre point of the device. When the Galaxy S II was released it boasted a vivid 4.3-inch WVGA Super AMOLED Plus display that had a resolution of 480 x 800. Although there’s no specific Canadian numbers, worldwide sales the GSII have racked up well over [...]
RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook has seen it fair share of kicks. Some say the product was rushed to market and missed important features, such as a native email, contacts and calendar app. The price of this tablet has been slashed month after month… but it doesn’t mean that it’s a bad product. We actually think it’s [...]
To-date Nokia has sold 1 million Lumia smartphones and we’ll soon see our Canadian carriers add to the numbers. It’s been a very long trek for Windows Phone 7 handsets in Canada. There hasn’t been a new model since October 2010… but both Rogers and TELUS are on tap to change that. Rogers will be [...]
Well this is very interesting. Must be Galaxy Note day in Canada today. The confirmed carriers to release this Android phone/tablet are TELUS, Bell and Rogers with a “mid-February” availability. First out of the gate with the official release date and pricing is big box retailer Best Buy showing the Note will be available to [...]
TELUS’ LTE network is coming soon, very soon. Employees have just begun training and from an internal doc we’ve received it states that “TELUS’ network evolution to 4G LTE is on track to launch in early 2012″, but most likely it’ll be live within weeks. It’s already known that they’ll be releasing the LTE-capable Samsung [...]
Today was day one for Thorsten Heins as RIM’s new President and CEO. We’re gunning for the Canadian company and congratulate Heins on his new role – not the easiest job to take on and surely he has a tremendous amount of brand building to do. Heins started off the morning by outlining his strategy [...]
Update: This contest is now closed – we are happy to announce that Facebook follower Brad Warkentin has won the Titan! Now that CES 2012 is officially over and I’m slowly catching up on much needed sleep, it’s time to attend to some business and do a giveaway. One of the cool phones I received [...]
It’s been a long time coming, but the BlackBerry Playbook’s long-awaited 2.0 software release is almost here. In February, RIM will make the Playbook usable again, and that is not an understatement. We had a chance to look at Playbook 2.0 with Jeff Gadway who is almost as excited to show off the new and [...]
This is one of the coolest demonstrations that I’ve seen at CES 2012. HzO has created a “cutting-edge technology” called WaterBlock and it does exactly what the name suggests – blocks water from getting into your electronic devices. So this means that there’s potentially no more water damage caused by drops in the pool, sink, [...]
