Mobilicity Confirms March Release for Nexus S, No Tablets or Windows Phone 7 For Now

At a Q&A session tonight in Toronto, Mobilicity CEO Dave Dobbin confirmed rumours that the new entrant AWS wireless provider will be bringing over the currently US-only Nexus S to Canadian soil. He also intimated that Rogers, Bell and Telus would be getting their own variations, but assured listeners that there would be a distinct advantage to getting one through Mobilicity: it will be untouched.
Like the Nexus One, Mobilicity will not lock the Nexus S, allowing it to be used on any AWS-compatible provider (currently Wind, Videotron and soon-to-be Shaw in Canada, and T-Mobile in the US). Dobbins reinforced his company’s dedication to offering the best lineup of phones available to Canadian consumers, going so far to say that Mobilicity’s current lineup “blows Wind out of the water.”
Mobilicity is also betting on Android staying huge, and has shored up their handset lineup with some of the best AWS-compatible Droids, including the aforementioned Nexus One, as well as the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and the value-market Motorola Spice.
If history is any indication, the Nexus S should retail for $549.99CAD, bumping down the Nexus One’s price to $449.99 or so.
Dobbin also indicated that their take on tablets is “wait and see,” and that they currently have no plans to bring Windows Phone 7 to the carrier.
The company also recently launched the BlackBerry Bold 9780 for $499.99.
