Oops. Beat me.
I would invest.

But that's just me.

I see big things for these guys since Rogers is complete bullshit whereas these guys will be the way of the future (hopefully).

Looking into euro/asian markets, you never see contracts or ridiculous plan rates and if we're moving towards that, I see mobi doing very well.

I actually wanted to invest with them earlier but they were privately funded and so no stock option.

hm............ actually how do you like your s2x?? cuz I might go that route instead, I played with the phone yesterday and I like the feel of it. I was going to wait for the white version but the stupid T Mobile logo is pissing me off, anyone know if telus will end up with a white version or should I just pick up a black.

well i have a Tmob GS2 one (same phone). the logo i don't even notice. however with the lack of a physical home button it helps to figure out which end is up.

I'll bet with a little jewelers polish, the logo could be buffed right off.

however i really like the white one.


this thing is like sex.

Mobi will be bought out, it's obvious with their aggressive promotions and lack of network expansion. They are trying to gain as many subs as possible, so they can sell the company at a higher price.

I can't decide if I should wait for a white one or just pick up a non branded telus one. My last few phones have been black and I want to switch things up but unbranded white version

Full bars for Rupert and Grandview hwy.

BCIT, I get mostly full bars, maybe missing a bar or two every once in a while.

I think this may be phone related, or not, (Nokia N8), but I'll share an issue I've had for months.
Whenever my phone is in my pocket, after the first ring the call goes straight to voicemail. Whenever I'm driving, after the first ring, same issue. This is a recurring issue, but this doesn't always happen.

Related to dropped calls.... nothing of that sort. I got more dropped calls from Rogers than I do now with Mobi.

Mobi has done a really good job around the Killarney area. I remember last year around Moberly Elementary and Killarney Secondary I'd be in a dead zone. Last week I was at a friend's house (which was a dead zone last year last Christmas) and had full bars.

Which side of QE Park? From Main/33rd to Main/47th the reception is sub-par to non-existent when outdoors. I'll do a walk through of that area again soon to see if the network has improved since my last test there though.

also keep in mind that even tho reception outside of the restaurant is good it may not be good at all inside.

i had to switch my mom away from it because she'd try to call me but would have no reception when shes home.

Caller ID is working for me..

What phone are you using? Have you tried to resetting that as well? By resetting, I mean a factory reset and not rebooting/restarting.
