    I just got word that Bell customers will no longer be able to roam while they're visiting Iran. This is due to the Government of Canada's sanctions regarding Iran. So if you're going to Iran make sure you get a SIM card and forward your number.

    To conform to Government of Canada sanctions regarding Iran [Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA)], network roaming has been shut down in Iran as of August 13, 2012.
    Thanks tipster!

    And here we have it! The official Q2 2012 as released by ORASCOM. It's really some good news!
    Leaked a little early, but they ended Q2 2012 with 456, 886! Looks like for once WIND isn't bloating the numbers through Tony and actually calling it as it is. And that's a good thing, we can now cautiously stop second guessing things.

    ARPU dropped to $27.30 for WIND mobile in Q2 2012. ...

    One of the great things about technology is that most high end features end up filtering down to more affordable price points. Sometimes it happens quicker than you think.

    Just over 18 or so month ago the fastest processor you could find on most Android phones were 2nd gen Qualcomm Snapdragon chips with Scorpion cores running at 1Ghz. Their screen resolutions topped out at 800x480, came with around 512MB of RAM and most of them sported 5 megapixel cameras.

    Things move pretty quickly in the Android space! All that technology has filtered down and now we have the HTC One V.

    Trevor M just finished up our Back to school guide written from his teacher's perspective:

    Every parent’s dream, every student’s nightmare; it’s time to start thinking about going back to school. But let’s forget about pencils, notebooks and Kleenex boxes for a bit and focus on what’s truly important: cell phones! This is your back to school guide...HoFo style.

    Phones


    Can You Hear Me Now?

    If your school is anything like mine, it’s a windowless, cement shrine whose sole purpose (other than to educate the future leaders of the world, duh) is to destroy any amount of cell phone reception attempting to enter the premises. Never before have I seen people go to such lengths in an attempt to send a text message. Students (and teachers) crowd around the few windows we do have, usually on the second floor to boost their already insignificant chance to get a signal, simply so they can do something that the Handbook specifically tells them not to do: use their phone during school hours.

    I actually think the construction of our building is a conspiracy. Let me explain. You see, the places that have the most windows happen to be the entryways to the school. Those areas also just happen to be where we have surveillance cameras installed. Putting two and two together (I am a math teacher after all), the administrators now have a net of sorts to catch all the students attempting to use their phones in close proximity to the windows. Smile, you’re on camera! ...

    This morning I've woke up to a lot of great information with in WIND. First off there is another "resignation"-cough- at WIND that will immensely be beneficial to the Retail Level. It's not a known name around here, but it's a good thing he's gone from the role so the retail teams can be better supported, by a true leader who has industry insight and knowledge. The previous guy's been there since launch and probably responsible for most of the worst hirings.

    Next on to the good stuff, the Q2 update.

    Okay guys, here's the scoop from WIND this morning.

    457,000 Customers
    A net add on of 42,000 added in Q2.
    28,000 Post paid.
    20,000 Galaxy S III's sold from WIND.
    (don't know why this point is impressive but it is, wonder what the other 8000 postpaid devices were )
    461 Points of Distribution (Goal is to have 1000)

    In the last 6 months they added an additional 1200 network sites. (okay..)

    Here’s the Huawei Ascend P1 (U9200). Hua-what you say? Look at the logo. No, WordIRC, it’s not an NBC phone. Cue the NBC chime “Hu-wa-wei”.



    If you’ve never heard of Huawei they’re actually a huge player on the network infrastructure side. However, on the handset side they’re mostly known for making cheap entry level phones. Given Huawei’s size and ambition it’s only natural that they're ready to move up the ladder starting with the $400 Huawei Ascend P1.

    Huawei is splitting their offerings into 4 different lines. Diamond, Platinum, Gold (let’s hope they don’t sponsor the Olympics) and Youth. The P1 represents their platinum line so it’s aimed at the upper end of the market but not the very top. I’m thinking phones like the HTC One S, Motorola RAZR and Sony Xperia S.

    Has anyone the privilege of participating in the beta program? Can you if your YouTube app is now removed too? It appears to no longer be there on my installation on both iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.

    Looks like we're going to have rely on an official app from Google in the near future... which is fine by me, but Apple just started incorporating the share features in iOS 6 that were once missing.

    If you discover any other new features or missing old ones, share them here.
