Bell and Virgin rolled out HD Voice to most of Canada last January. This feature gave customers who owned various devices “better quality, clearer voice service experience.” There is no cost to have this feature and makes for an overall better voice experience. There were only couple provinces omitted from the initial launch, Saskatchewan and [...]
Yesterday was a great day for Bell HTC Raider and Sensation users as they received the upgrade to OS 4.0. If you’re holding one of Bell’s other Android devices that has been promised an OS upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich we have an update for you. There seems to be some adjustments to their “Estimated [...]
By the time we reviewed the Samsung Galaxy S II in July 2011, the phone had become the most anticipated Android phone of all time. Its screen, speed and form factor were, and still are, legendary. Today it is by far one of the most popular Android phones ever made. Almost a year later, I [...]
Even though an internal Bell document suggested that the upgrade to OS 4.0 for the Sensation and Raider had an “estimated release” of June 2012, good news for both users of those Androids comes your way today. Bell has declared that Ice Cream Sandwich is now available for the Sensation 4G and Raider 4G LTE - looks like [...]
There is at least one certainty about the Motorola MOTOLUXE: the price. This was released by Bell today and as expected hit a reasonable $299.95 no-term. Pretty decent pricing for an Android – albeit OS 2.3 and no plans to hit 4.0 – that has a 4-inch display (resolution of 480 x 854), 8MP camera [...]
In Bell’s recent quarterly report they noted that “Prepaid gross activations decreased 23.8% in Q1 2012 to 94,574, due primarily to our emphasis on postpaid.” This is a trend in Canadian wireless and not just limited to Bell. Other such as Rogers and TELUS have also both reported a decrease in prepaid subscribers numbers. Today, to potentially [...]
Bell has been working hard on transforming the Muskoka landscape by disguising the standard and hideous looking cellphone towers as beautiful trees. What they haven’t been communicating is that they’ve been actively testing their LTE network in the area. Effective May 17th, Bell will once again expand their HSPA+ and LTE coverage, this time taking care [...]
The HTC One S will be officially available tomorrow from several Canadian carriers. We’ve already seen TELUS’ pricing of this Android OS 4.0 device (ranges from $99.99 to $569.99) and now we can confirm the pricing that Bell will launch with. We happened upon a Source store who was willing to sell us the device a [...]
Just in time for some new device launches (HTC One S), Bell will be coming out with some new plans on Thursday, May 17th. There’s a few of them, such as the $25 Single/Share Voice plan with 50 minutes, but we’ll highlight one called the “85 Fab 10 plan.” This is available to “New and [...]
The Motorola MOTOLUXE will be arriving on Bell’s lineup. We let you know last week that the official launch date is currently scheduled for May 22nd. According to the internal doc we received it should be hitting their Prepaid for $299.95. This is very respectable pricing as it runs Android OS 2.3 (no word on [...]
