you guys got it good your termination fee is small compared to us. telus doesnt cap it and remember we have 3 year contracts. If your unsatisfied pay it and leave. I personally refuse to sign contracts so I am not tiedto anybody.

How does service get worse if they are building more towers and not taking down towers? That I dont get but maybe I dont know enuff out telecommunications to understandthat. If you mean customer service then I understand.

My point is still you guys have tons of choices. The features you have compared to what we have you have the good life. You guys get unlimited long distance between the all of your states. we have no such thing at all in canada.

All im saying is a lot of other places have nowhere near the selection or options you guys have. March 14th we will finally be getting number portability. If your not happy just leave.

ok. ok.ok.. so we might not have it as bad as you...
but we have it bad and yes service has gotten worse because the company grew.. and they didn't keep up (boost mobile.. nextel etc)
i think many people will agree that things have gotten worse for us as weird as they might sound

lol Ok Ok I get what your saying there. But Like I said just switch. Is the walkie talkie feature that much of a necessity? At telus the entire staff is on Iden phones and Im going to be honest I barely use it. I love iden phones and regular pcs phones are boring to me. But I mean if my calls were always giving me problems and nothing was working I'd leave. Or maybe just keep the phone and use the DC feature only. And go to another phone company for the phone line feature.

so what about a new blackberry. I have alot of friends asking about a new blackberry coming is that true?

**ISI** · 02-28-2007, 10:51 AM

Too bad the list only goes through April and not May to see if the ic902 is still on track. On another note does anyone know why the Novatel U720 USB Broadband is already coming up on End-Of-Life?

**escapeplan01** · 02-28-2007, 12:08 PM

the release dates are nice to include, but without knowing which markets they will hit at those quoted times, release dates are useless.

All markets, with the exception of the currently restricted PowerSource markets for PowerSource handsets (legacy Partners & Affiliates).

I think that was a temp fix to hold off on express slot cards...

That could be but I though they had the express card version for Verizon at about the same time as the USB so why a temp fix? It also fills a unique nitch market as well i.e. desktop pc just to name one

For those who had express slots...they could purchase the USB one instead. Yes, it does fill that in....idk....maybe they are sneekin around with something new?...
