The roms for the Nexus One works for any versions, it doesn't matter if its AWS or UMTS versions.

im using the nokia 5230, and i get very good signal in vancouver/richmond/burnaby..

never had a bad connection, dropped call or anything..

so i assume the N1 would be similar or a bit better for voice, for data, the nokia was a bit slow... so your N1 would rock



So i just changed my plan to the $15 one.. haha half off $7.50 and i get all addons and cancelled my data.. i only used 70mins my first monthand like 100mb of internet.. instead of paying $45 im paying $7.50.. haha 100mins i figure should be enough.. i dont make a lot calls...

tmobile has a lot of android phones. any of those would work


my cousin walked into a store and got the employee there to sign her up on the friends and family deal, 50% off her plan permanently! i think the deal is over now though.

Actually I think the best bet for him may be to get a used 3GS and go with Rogers or Fido. I assume (probably foolishly so) that their PLAN prices are the same regardless of whether you buy a subsidized phone from them.

I'm sure there are tons of fools out there selling their 3GS to pay for their crack.. err new iphone 4.

For those of you that might be interested in Wind, I saw these promos on HOFO and so I thought I'd share:

$150 Porting Credit

50% off data for 1 year!!!

Free unlimited global text add on for 1 year!


The promos are supposedly starting Thurs or Fri.

nice $150 porting credit. Does this work with pay as you go customers? lets say you open fido pay as you go account to get a number. then you port that number over, get $150 credit from wind.

btw how is reception indoors in richmond? specifically in concrete structured condos/apartments.

varies by location, i think you should take advantage of WIND's return policy of 14days and 30min of talk time. try it out, if it works, GREAT, if not then use network builder?

Telus and Bell sucks anyways.

I'm just interested to know if the porting credit applies to pay as you go as well.

My dad is using my old number on Rogers pay/go and ends up filling up on a $10 prepaid card each month. The basic Wind plan would be perfect for him

Please note that porting results in cancelling your existing plan with your current provider.

You cannot cancel then port.

well, that is the idea!


i'll be jumping on this before aug.15th for sure! just gonna wait it out a bit to see if desire comes out before this offer ends.

Quick question about rogers/fido billing, they bill for the month after right? so essentially they're pay before account? So if i get billed on the 1st of the month, i can use my service till the end of the month, port over to wind on the 30th, then i wont get billed again the next month? Do i need to call in to confirm cancellation with fido after wind ports me? or is it auto.
