All that can be known from looking at this map, Wind's website and Spectrum direct: WIND Mobile Tower Map (2) (http://coveragemapper.com/windmap2.php)

Nice glad to see them expanding out and improving their current areas

Well I hope that they follow through on their promises

I spent 7 months waiting for them to do that in the Greater Vancouver area and they never did.

Another issue is that even if they do expand their coverage, will that fix much when it comes to penetrability of their signal through buildings?
That was a major issue - walk into a building and half the time you drop the call

Still no good handsets :(

That is partially due to the frequency that was auctioned. It's relatively high and therefore has problems getting through certain materials. (Concrete, Metal)

Sometimes a tower could be across the street and you'll still have problems.

Will soon change.
WIND will be getting a slew of the new blackberries, HTC Ruby (knowledge from trusted source), and the Galaxy Nexus. Then they will be replacing their U1250 (as reported here) with the U2801 and adding the Huawei Boulder aswell. Then they've already added the Nokia 500 (still no word if they're looking to bring on a Windows Phone 7 device, but could happen).

That's nine new phones right there.
