[Neon]

I stopped by a Blockbuster location, asked home area questions and roaming. That just seems too early for me to join now. Don't want to get dinged just outside their calling zone.
plus the only thing that appeals to me is the 9700. I'm going to see what's up in late January when it's build out more

[SA5195]

Wait so if i want the bold 9700, i have to pay 450 bucks on the spot?

[Kronk86]

That is right....This is how it will be for all their phones. Contracts do save you money in the short term....

Their 'Home Zone' idea is a bit ridiculous....we will have to wait and see.

[nadim]

I think I am the only person who actually likes home zone/away zone as the terminology. They are new and growing so its expected they won't have coverage everywhere. Unless you live in the GTA or Calgary and don't plan on leaving for 4 months or so it would be awesome.

$450 on the spot is better then say $399 on Bell or Rogers who charge you for a 2 year contract.

Nobody is forcing you to sign up with Wind if you want to spend more long term on a 3 year contract for a $199 blackberry by all means sign up with one of the incumbents :)

If you look at their future 'home zones' they are still only in major cities. If you live in Airdrie and work in Calgary, then you will pay LD and additional airtime when your at home...Talk about a scam.

Unless of course you want to add the $20 unlimited LD feature....

[SA5195]

Wait, do you have to pay 450 bucks if you wanna go for postpaid?

[cracked]

yup, for the BB 9700. Plus let;s say you want to upgrade in a year to a new phone you gotta ditch that one and buy a completely new device for another 450. kinda weird

[lovemymobile]

Wait, do you have to pay 450 bucks if you wanna go for postpaid?

It's a bit of a mind job when you think about it. It's for all phones that you have to pay the full price then go on a mothly charge. No contract though :confused:

[cracked]

this rumoured "Tab" might help out with payments? Kinda like Koodo Can't see it though

http://mobilesyrup.com/2009/12/28/rumour-wind-to-bring-on-tab-payment-option/

[SA5195]

If the tab happens, then i'm in for the bold 9700.

Nexus One docs leaked

http://i46.tinypic.com/ioizr4.jpg

$530 Unlocked, $180 With T-Mobile... anyone getting this and putting it on WIND?

[serans1987]

planning on grabbing it and putting it on wind

[greek]

what is so special about it?

[Kronk86]

what is so special about it?

Nothing really....Nothing makes it stand out from other new phones that are out/coming out; Other then it's a 'Google' phone.

[serans1987]

well its considered in my eyes as the most well built android device, that all is after i have touched the device and used it. i just want an android device was going for the hero but thought i jump on this bandwagon instead. its also going to have latest android os upgrade.

[12345]

I can't see myselft switching until they get a bigger reach

[DoubleDouble]

N900 coming to WIND "early 2010". Hope the network is better by then:

Nexus One coming soon? From Twitter:

WIND_Chris

"Wow! Lots of interest in the Nexus. http://bit.ly/5XZQ9e Yep, works on AWS, and we're chatting with them... will let everyone know soon."

[bigtime]

^ das good news!

[SA5195]

are they actually gonna do the tab option?

[pusher]

it's going to be WAYYYYYY to expensive. People are complaining about a BB for $450, imagine what this will go for in Canada. Kinda too much to pay upfront, no?

[Kronk86]

For the Nexus One? I believe it will be around the same price as the Blackberry 9700.

The Nexus One is $525 off contract in the US i believe. The Blackberry 9700 is $500.

Not too much of a price difference.

[greek]

i would actually consider getting this. fast, light and thin, plus comes with 2.1

[pusher]

any updates on the N900 or Nexus?

[12345]

they can't even get the network right, how will they get new devices from manufacturers?

[Kronk86]

any updates on the N900 or Nexus?

If you are thinking about either of those phones, I would suggest just buying them outright.

The Nexus One has a Google imposed TLC of sorts in the first 120 days and the N900 will come down in price once the N920 comes out.

[pencils]

I saw vids of the N900 and it looks wicked, but the downside it's a Nokia. I rather get something like a Berry or test my luck with the Nexus. Not a fan of Nokia, everything feels cheap to me

[mytime]

I think wind will bring on more people, and also better phones as the network grows

[Bro]

is the Nexus One good? Should I order through eBay or wait for WIND?

[lovemymobile]

reports say it's good. Way faster and already dropping 100 bucks on t-mobile. Hopefully WIND gets it soon

[12345]

any news on the N900 or Nexus One? This will be priced so high when/if they launch

[underwhere]

heard that Nexus one will be going to Mobilicity now??

[12345]

^ really - where did you here that?

[bigtime]

has WIND lost the Wind? Anyone still excited about them?

[underwhere]

waiting to see what Mobilicity comes out with now.

[mytime]

will be about 6 weeks I think

[Ivan006]

will be about 6 weeks I think

They [Mobilicity] said in a video that they're going to have a whole line of smartphones. Sounds like Wind's big brother. It's hard for these small companies to get started if they don't have good coverage and selection.

[12345]

I think it will be a battle for the Nexus One between WIND and Mobilicity

[007]

I think Mobilicity will get it first. They have a stronger relationship with TMobile and their devices

[Hog]

Mobilicity has not even launched yet or have customers, WIND will get it first

[lovemymobile]

anything new officially coming to WIND? N900?

[windformer]

I don't think that Mobilocity will be getting the Nexxus one, and if they do? So what? They come unlocked right from Google themselves, in this day and age making phone selection your primary reason for going with a provider is silly.

I do think that they're making a mistake going with these cheap Chinese phones, look for the Gowell G320 ($90) next, should be hitting stores this week or next. Bar phone, 2 MP camera, bluetooth and that's about it.

Super cheap and ultra easy are what WIND needs in their lineup.

PS - good luck finding anything about the G320 out there, I've been looking for days

[12345]

^ when will WIND be getting the Nexus One?

[cracked]

I think they'll be getting the Magic and N900 for their next smartphones. Good lineup changes

the magic is coming - how much, anyone know?


http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/03/03/wind-to-launch-the-android-htc-magic/

[007]

Wonder what they will price this at, blow Rogers away with it. Would be cool if it was around the $150 mark :)

[Brendanmurphy]

You guys will soon be able to get the HD2 as Tmobile is getting it. That is a beast of a phone

[12345]

^ you are right, it is sweet looking phone :)
to bad shipping will be high

[DoubleDouble]

When are these new phones coming out??????????

Android?

[1984]

N900 i heard is "coming soon"

[mytime]

when is this happening?

Is this coming or another Android phone?

[12345]

there are so many rumours going around of what phones they are going to releasde it's crazy. they do need something and fast, before Mobilicity launches

[becks]

I am actually thinking about switching over, but need to get a better phone than what they have. Hopefully something soon will come :)

[lovemymobile]

anyone actually know what and when new phones will come out?

[mytime]

nokia 5230 is on the way.

[12345]

heard it will be around the $150 - $200 mark

[Hog]

Monday release i hear :)

[underwhere]

^ Proof?

[cracked]

http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/04/15/video-wind-mobile-nokia-5230-hardware-review/

i guess it's coming soon!?!

[greek]

180 bucks is a good deal for a touchscreen no contract phone.

[cracked]

anyone get this and is it good for $180?

[pencils]

forget the 5230!!!! Where's an Android????????

[12345]

^ agree, isn't there the Magic apparently coming out?

[pencils]

Heard that the Magic is going to be available in about a month

[cracked]

hearing something is coming next week too - 2 new phones within a month is great progress

[Skippy101]

Some cheap WIND Huawei U1250 is available now. 70 bucks.

http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/04/30/huawei-u1250-now-available-at-wind-for-70/

[demobot]

Like Skippy said, the Huawei U1250 is out at retail as well as the Nokia 5230 touch screen phone. The Nokia has full access to the Ovi app store.

[becks]

for $70 it's even worth that to try WIND out for a couple months

[Skippy101]

where is that Andoid phone that was apparently coming?

[underwhere]

some Magic I remmeber. But you can get the Nexus One for cheap now and put it on wind

[pencils]

Wind needs something good other than promotions. They need better phones

[trusted]

Here is a list of Mobilicty compatible phones for ya all...

Phones Compatible with mobilicty (http://unlockingabc.blogspot.com/2010/05/mobilicity-compatible-phones.html)

[12345]

9100 is coming soon and the Nokia 5230 in black

[Hog]

$300 for the 9100 will sell alot of those for them, undercut the big 3

[Kronk86]

$300 for the 9100 will sell alot of those for them, undercut the big 3

Didn't undercut them by much. TELUS has it for $350 AND it will work in more places then the WIND version.

WIND is a joke.

[12345]

Wind needs new and better phones, not just roping people in with good deals

[466035]

Wind needs new and better phones, not just roping people in with good deals

i agree with u 100% they are just calling people with good plans they need some new phone like are they gonna carry apple iphone 4

[Frankie]

^ It's too bad that they don't have the bands that carry the iPhone. This would help them out huge. Or offer at least an Android phone with the latest OS

[466035]

ya man they need to carry some good selections of phones all they just talk about plans and blackberry bold they need to bring some android devices just having good plans sucks if u don't have a good phone.

[Skippy101]

isn't the Magic or something coming there?

[thesmoth]

some Magic I remmeber. But you can get the Nexus One for cheap now and put it on wind

Where exactly can you find it for cheap?

I just looked yesterday and google still sells it for $530 USD on their website (plus $27 shipping and $80 tax) you're looking at $650-700 for the phone.

On ebay they are the same, or more.

[Bro]

New phones? Anyone know besides the Pearl?
