The word 'Pentaband' means '5 Bands', from the Greek word 'pente' meaning '5'. For a phone to be pentaband it has to support 5 bands. If the phone has AWS support, it doesn't automatically mean that it is pentaband. The reason Wind and Mobilicity users like pentaband phones is because the reverse is true. We're not the only ones who like pentaband phones though, so please stop referring to phones that work on Wind and Mobilicity as pentaband. It causes unnecessary cofusion.
Why yes, that is a bag phone
Fair enough. It is a solution for people with smartphones (no older phones)
I've got more phones than fingers
Saw the flyer for the $29 plan at a WIND kiosk yesterday. The $40 plan is mentioned but almost looks like a "oh by the way, for $11 more you can have Canada wide calling and free Voicemail+".
All comments are my own opinion and do not reflect the views of my employer or affiliated groups.

To be fair jonavin, most people only need local calling anyways so canada-wide is sort of a nice afterthought. The $40 plan is great if you want everything the bts offers + vm, and if you do more than $3 of LD calls every month... but I know a lot of people don't like vm and don't do LD calling very often.
Does anyone know if you can modify your addons after the bts offer expires? For example let's say 6 months down the road you decide you need voicemail, will wind let you buy the addon and still keep the bts plan?

Buying another add-on won't be a problem, as long as it's a currently offered add-on, and they seem to have stabilised on that. Offering VM+ costs them almost nothing, so they'd be crazy not to accept what's essentially a free $8 extra per month.

With latency and slow data speed Dell Voice just wouldn't work.

The plan states local talk, is it still province wide calling like their $40 plan?
I've climbed a cellphone tower
The $29 is not provincial calling. It's an extended local talk area. See link for the area that applies to you:

The $40 plan is Canada-wide calling, not provincial.

No Local Talk is the zones limited by the defined maps here: East Map | West Map
In each map, as long as you're in the RED Home Zone you can call out to anywhere with in the Yellow Areas. Those are your Local Areas. Anything else beyond that is now Long Distance. Welcome to WIND where Province or Nation Wide calling is a thing of the past. Another innovative feature gone.
EDIT: posted this after @LDN2012, didn't see his reply when I started.
Radiation is good
Welcome to WIND, where nationwide calling most certainly exists at $40/month.
FTFY
On previous generation plans, it was $45, so some would say the price points still remain quite competitive.
Edit: Also note the East and West Maps contain incorrect info...isn't domestic roaming 0.20/min now? And domestic LD is 0.20/min as well...
Come for the savings. Stay for the unlimited.
Has a car phone
Thinking of switching over to $29 BTS plan. Should i do it? I don't really need the canada wide calling, but i think i might miss voicemail due to some of the deadspots. I would really like data, so it 100% that i can add on VM if i need it later right?
Thx
I currently have $20 AITF 2010 plan it includes:
unlimited canada wide calling,
unlimited canada/us text
voicemail
call control features(cid,call conference etc)

Yes, VM can always be added. But at $8, you might as well jump to the $40 plan.
Radiation is good
Free phone line is your friend. Use they're vm service.
