:D Judging by how we have a lot of Huawei phones already... http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/09/02/huawei-launches-affordable-android-2-2-ideos-handset/ It looks like it'll essentially be equivalent to the Magic/Hero, but at an affordable price.

Hi guys, Donno if any one noticed it yet. Since tonight, my phone got full bars at UBC area:clapping:. I usually just 2-3 bars maximum. I guess they must launched some new antennas near UBC. Can any one else see the signal improvement near UBC area?

In short, I'm seriously considering leaving Wind after being with them since inception. Let this serve as a caution to those considering becoming a Wind subscriber. I have been loyal, helping them build their network (while paying for service), enduring hour-long wait times on the phone,...

Wind will be offering very soon any student who can present a valid student ID in person the always shout plan and Infinite laptop for $25 per month for 1 year. Students are also eligible for the $20 rebate on devices. Should be launched very soon. Maybe even tomorrow, who knows.

Hey guys, the wind store in Orleans was supposed to open today (June 9) according to many wind employees, today I heard that that's been pushed back to june 12th. Assuming there are no more delays, does that mean we can expect to finally get Wind Home on June 12th? Would be silly to open a store in...

I've been on Wind almost 6 months now and I go to York almost every day and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed by Wind's coverage at York. It works ok outside buildings but inside buildings the coverage is total *** 1) I can be right beside someone on telus/bell/rogers and they have 4 bars...

So Wind has been out for a bit now in Edmonton, anyone have any experiences with it they want to share? Specifically the south end of the city?

I tested a new Wind BB 9700 and I was able to send an MMS from it to a Rogers phone. However, I am unable to do so with my Nexus One. I added mms.windmobile.ca to the MMS APN - but that didn't make it work. Does anyone have the settings? Thanks.

Anybody excited or getting the Samsung Vibrant? Comes with 720p HD video recording and a 4" screen. For Wind customers there's no iphone 4, no HTC Evo 4G, and no Motorola Droid X. 3 mega top super powerful smartphones. T-Mobile's release of Samsung Vibrant in July saves me.

Has anyone gotten nokia messaging push email to work on the N900 (or even the 5230)? I found this article and people think it has something to do with the sim card: http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/t5/Maemo-Devices/N900-doesnt-show-Nokia-Messaging-option/m-p/658342

My Fido contract is ending this month and I'm thinking of picking up an Android phone. I'm also trying to decide if I should stick with Fido and try to get as good a retention deal as possible or possibly switch to Wind, especially given the current promo. I'd prefer not to sign any contracts as my...

Edit: http://www.coveragemapper.com for the maps and application I've been think about this for a while, and I'd like some input. Would anyone here, who's using an Android 2.1+ device, be willing to install an application that stores signal strengths and locations, and uploads it to a server?...

Help me out: Am I correct in understanding that WIND Mobile cell sites use a microwave "inter-connection" only (rather than copper or fibre)? Would that mean that any sites around the country or city which do not have at least one microwave dish are not WIND Mobile sites? Just wondering . ....

1. For chat plan, incoming calls count towards the 100 minutes, right? 2. For chat plan, left over minutes rollover to the next month right? Let's say I used 50 minutes 1st month, 20 minutes next month. How many minutes will I have third month? I'm thinking: 2nd month I'll have 150 minutes,...

Problem with people calling me - they can't connect with me. My phone rings once and I get a "Missed Call" message on my phone. Anyone else having problems receiving calls?

i wanted to port to WIND and called FIDO to cancel my 2 classic CF plans (for those who do not know these are unlimited talk plans). they asked why and i told them the truth. they put me on hold and gave me CID+VM+2500 sms for $10- instead of $19- and gave me $15- discount on top of it. which...

Picked up the E181 yesterday. For whatever reason, even though I could pull about 2.5Mb/s ... web browsing was painfully slow. I switched the DNS servers from "Automatic" to the OpenDNS servers in the connection manager this morning (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220). Since that change,...

Here is a list I put together of frequently asked questions about using the Google Nexus One on WIND Mobile. Please feel free to ask any questions if you need help. Where can I buy the phone? Google is selling the Nexus directly from its website at google.com/phone There are two...

New BlackBerry Pearl 9100 is coming to Wind on Sep 2, 2010 :clapping: Read details @ http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/09/01/confirmed-wind-mobile-launching-the-blackberry-pearl-9100-tomorrow/

Noticed a new tower this week at the strip Mall around the corner of Pantella Blvd NW and Panatella street NW. Wonder if this is a Wind Tower. Looks similar to the one near the Conventry Hills Superstore Gas Bar.

*Just pay shipping. I live in Ottawa, and for me, shipping was only $2.85. As mentioned, the offer applies to a variety of phones including Samsung Vibrant and iPhone 4. Samsung Vibrant (reg $14.99 + shipping):...

Everyone knows WIND is having network issues, yes I acknowledge there network is new.. but since your not on a contract why are you still staying? For me.. I am staying because of the family plan I have, and even if I didn't I would still pay full price to a company that deserves bringing fresh...

I just received some information from a source. WIND is apparently testing some numbers with 226 area codes (specifically KW) to ensure everything's setup to handle them. This doesn't necessarily give us a date for a launch in KW (or any other 226 area), but it's one step further along the...

As we all know there are some situations like courtrooms or sensitive workplaces where you're not allowed to bring in a camera (or camera phone). So sometimes we need non-camera phones. I went to GSMArena and did a search for phones with UMTS 1700 and "without camera". Results: none. Thus, it...

As posted at http://www.windmobile.ca/community/ideas/detail/30234 , everyone who has a data plan please post the following: - Device - Location - Signal strength (try to test with sufficient signal as we all know that low signal will cause issues) - Ping to 74.115.197.17 which is the first...
