If they are indeed getting a curve, it will be a 8300. No way is Fido getting a 8900 or anything higher end than the 8300

I hope you mean 8320. And I dont see why they wouldnt go up to the 8900. The 83xx series are being slowly phased out. Maybe the 8520? Maybe the pearl flip?

the pearl flip I could see. I could also see the 8520 series since that will be the new entry level price point line

And given that the 5800 was "too upmarket" for Fido, I don't think we'll ever see N- or E-series on their product page

It's Air Access Fee. It's a surcharge to cover the operation and maintenance costs associated with the wear and tear of using air as a medium to carry sound wave.

When I called back in November of '08 to change my plan to the killer plan, I asked the rep if I could get get any phone at the 3 year agreement anytime during my contract. This was when the E71 was supposedly coming to Fido so I was waiting for it.

Anyways, he told me that I would be able to if I pay a $35 admin fee. I haven't used it yet tho. Would it be possible to use it for the 3GS?

No, I meant the 8300. 8320 is way too high end for Fido.

I'm hoping that you're wrong since I would like to get a Blackberry with WiFi and the 8300 doesn't have anything except for a camera. The 8320 at least has WiFi and the camera.
