We’ve known that Fido will be launching the entry-level BlackBerry Curve 9360 for about a month now. This will be a solid low cost device for them. The Curve 9360 is the thinnest BlackBerry yet, runs OS 7 and Fido is expected to price this around $350 outright. Certainly not the biggest news in Canadian [...]
It’s expected that Apple will be announcing the next iPhone on October 4th. This is still a rumour just like all the upgraded specs. However, a good sign that brings truth to the rumour, and that Canadians will be getting the new iPhone, is an email to some Fido employees of an upcoming blackout period. [...]
The iPhone 5 is rumoured to officially be unveiled on October 5th, something that Apple fans have been waiting and pining over for the last number of months. Carriers in Canada have slowly reduced the 3-year contract price, TELUS, Bell, Virgin and SaskTel have all cut their pricing of the iPhone 4 16GB to $99 [...]

As expected, Fido has released the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro today. A step up in class from the mini pro that Rogers released earlier today. This is the 4th Android that Fido has released and it’s a solid 2.3 device that comes packed with 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 8.1 megapixel camera that takes HD [...]
The next Android device that Fido has on tap is the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro (Rogers will be releasing the Mini Pro). From the internal doc that surfaced last week it showed this has an “mid-August” release date and will come with OS 2.3. Just like the LG Optimus 2X that recently launched the Xperia [...]
Fido has come to the table and modified their price plans, mainly to compete with Koodo’s new Canada-wide plans (see them all here). The good news is that the new Fido plans all have unlimited text, included 50 more minutes and have been graced with 5:00pm unlimited evenings and weekends. (Thanks tipster!) Tweet
