    Just got a tip that Bell's HSPA is launching in Manitoba August 1st.

    The roll-out will happen in 2 phases: Phase 1 will include Winnipeg, Oakbank, Stonewall, Selkirk, Steinbach and cover 69% of the Manitoba market while phase 2 will include Brandon and Portage La Prairie and increase the coverage to 74%.



    The coverage will be different from what you get on CDMA plus you can't fall back onto CDMA if you're on HSPA so you won't be able to get any calls/data/SMS when you leave the coverage area.

    Thanks tipster!

    Ouch! Seems a British judge has just ordered Apple to run ads on their website saying that Samsung did not copy the iPad for at least six months.

    Judge Birss, who ruled last week that Samsung did not infringe Apple’s designs because its Galaxy Tab tablets were not “as cool” as the U.S. company’s iPad, said Apple should publish a notice on its website and in British newspapers to correct any impression that the South Korean company copied Apple, Bloomberg said.
    Seems the judge just got them by the Apples.

    Just got a Sony Xperia ION so I'll be updating this post. The Sony ION is now available from Rogers for $49.99 on a 3 year. It's got a really bright 500nit 4.6" 1280x720 LCD display, dual core 1.5Ghz processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB built-in storage which can be expanded with MicroSD cards and a 1900mAh non-removable battery.



    The main body of the phone is a metal unibody which feels much more solid than Galaxy S III and One X's plastic bodies. In-person it also looks a lot nicer than the S III's sometimes vulgar looking metal finish. It also comes with 6 months of Sony Entertainment Network. ...

    The HTC One X is now available on TELUS for $129.99 on a 3 yr. I reviewed on a while back and it's a great alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S III. If you pick one up we also have reviews for a One X otterbox case.

    Anyone getting a One X instead of a S3?
