A few months ago Public Mobile signed a distribution deal with Gateway news stands, thus giving them distribution access to 150 plus retail stores across the GTA; so far things are going well. Today a press release went out announcing that Mobilicity has followed the convenience store trend by signing a new distribution deal with [...]

AWS is a tough mistress. The runt of the pack, the 1700Mhz bands is seldom used and often derided as the lesser of the GSM frequencies. Indeed, because the band does not use a low frequency partner to its high counterpart like its competitors (850/900Mhz) it is difficult to gain reception inside buildings or through [...]

I would like to give a hat tip to Mobilicty, sincerely. For a carrier consistently under scrutiny; not only have they maintained composure, firmly, but are doing a bang up job deciding which phones to release. Just yesterday came word that they would be the first Canadian carrier to officially carry Google’s recently defunct Nexus One, [...]

This was a stunner. Weeks after Videotron announced availability of the Nexus One on their Quebec-only network, Mobilicity has announced in a press release that the venerable Google superphone will become available for the young network in the next few weeks. What does this mean for the burgeoning company? WIND Mobile just announced the availability of the [...]

Just days after being spotted in the upcoming device catalog, the AWS version of the Pearl 9100 3G is finally available for sale in Canada through WIND Mobile. It is very reasonably priced at $320 outright with a $20 rebate, bringing it down to $300. For those of you who love the BlackBerry Bold 9700, but [...]

About 5 months ago when the first pictures of a refreshed Pearl were leaked (then known as the “Stratus”) pictures were only of the AWS variety, leading some to speculate that a 3G/HSPA version might not see Canadian soil. Fast forward a few months and what do you know? Rogers, Bell and Telus all (basically [...]

Lately Mobilicity has seen its share of consumer criticism, but like most start-ups going through growing pains they have persevered and lasted in this Canadian cut-throat market. Today, Mobilicity issued a press release on its 100th day live to let the people know how they are doing and their future plans, here are some of the key points shared: [...]

Recently there has been rumors circulating the blogosphere that Mobilicity wasn’t doing well, and in fact had plans to close their doors. Shortly thereafter my Twitter timeline exploded, followers looked to me for answers, asking me what was going on and some even dropping tips to our hotline mentioning “Mobilicity is preparing to announce bankruptcy.” Instead [...]

We spoke yesterday on WIND Mobile surpassing the 100,000 subscriber mark earlier than expected, and with promotions like this it comes as no surprise. On top of the $150 porting credit and 50% off for 6 months, you will now save between $20-$40 off of the handset of your choice. There is no word yet on the [...]

With great leadership comes great results and WIND Mobile is a prime example of this. Despite hiccups leading to a delayed launch, and increasing competition in both the Canadian wireless sector as a whole and the rapidly growing “Unlimited” market, WIND led by Anthony (Tony) Lacavera has commanded a confident stance and has always fought [...]
