Samsung Intensity Video Review

By Ian Hardy ⋅ November 6, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The Samsung Intensity (u450) really surprised me. From looking at the device you’d think it’s just another basic phone, however the slight curves adds a sense of style and the slide-out QWERTY keyboard adds a sense of ease.
The Intensity is available at Koodo Mobile and TELUS. We reviewed the Koodo Mobile version and was impressed. [...]

By Ian Hardy ⋅ October 24, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

When TELUS launches their new HSPA network in November, one of their hottest and most sought after devices will be the LG BL40, otherwise known as the “New Chocolate”.
We got our hands on the unreleased BL40 and when compared to previous “Chocolate” devices this simply blows them all away – there currently is no comparison [...]

What’s the impact if Globalive doesn’t launch?

By Ian Hardy ⋅ September 24, 2009 ⋅ 20 comments

We want Globalive to launch their Wind Mobile brand. We are also excited to see the other new entrants Dave Wireless and Public Mobile enter the market. All these new options ultimately brings us Canadians more choice and will hopefully lower our rates.
All day today Globalive, TELUS, Rogers and Bell are behind closed doors doing [...]

TELUS LG Keybo2 Video Review

By Ian Hardy ⋅ August 17, 2009 ⋅ 9 comments

The LG Keybo2 is another messaging device that was recently launched by TELUS. This is an improvement from the original Keybo in both style and in features.
The overall look of the Keybo2 has a nice candybar style to it and also flips open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. On the outside you’ll notice [...]

Some improvements are the curved design, the 3 megapixel camera (original had 2 megapixels) and the internal display – now is 2.6 inches (originally 2.4 inches). [...]

Motorola Rival A455 Video Review

By Ian Hardy ⋅ August 10, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The Motorola Rival is making a grand entrance into Canada and competes with all the other QWERTY devices out there. This was released by TELUS last week and I can see this eventually ending up at their sub-brand Koodo Mobile one day.
The Rival is a great messaging device. The keyboard is nicely spaced out and [...]

LG Masterpiece Video Review

By Ian Hardy ⋅ August 9, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

With a name like Masterpiece you can expect a phone to be somewhat of a marvel to look at. You know like a Van Gogh or a perfectly bbq’d burger… but when it comes to cell phones, LG released its “Masterpiece” last week with TELUS.
The name is a stretch but fits the device if you’re [...]

HTC Snap Video Review

By Ian Hardy ⋅ August 7, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The HTC Snap is what you can call an affordable smartphone. TELUS has this on a promo now for $0.00 on a 3-year. The Snap runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 and weighs only 120 grams.
At first glance the Snap looks like a regular smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard, and that’s exactly what it is. [...]
