There has been news coming from Engadget regarding Verizon’s switch to “AT&T style” data pricing. For those of you that have forgotten, that’s 2GB for $25, and 200MB’s for $15. Chalk this up in the ‘rumor’ category, since there are no details short of a possible start date of July 29th. But in my personal opinion, [...]

When it rains, it pours. Back before WIND or Mobilicity ever existed, the major players in the Canadian mobile industry scoffed at the idea of “Unlimited” as a branding model. The big three oligopoly was happy with their high-cost, non-inclusive plans. Now  7 months after WIND’s official launch, and only a few months between Mobilicity [...]

Everyone knows about the Droid Incredible on Verizon and the HTC Evo on Sprint, and how, because they both run on CDMA-spec networks, they are incompatible with any other network.

I’m glad to see that some of TheCellularGuru readers and our in-house writer GuruJustin, took advantage of the Verizon free Bold 9650 upgrade! Keep in mind, all BlackBerry devices have a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty. As long as you don’t have excessive drop or water damage, you can have your device replaced if there is a hardware issue.

Mobile phone service is reaching a whole new level of “convenience” in Canada. We first had WIND Mobile announce they would launch in Blockbuster video retail outlets.

Our friends over at the Berry Reporter secured a copy of a Verizon email showing an online release date of Thursday June 3rd, and an in store release date of Thursday June 10th for the Bold 9650. This makes perfect sense being that Sprint released the 9650 via web orders a week ahead of their [...]

White 9700′s, Pearl 3G’s, Sprint 9650. RIM really hasn’t been playing around lately. They’re truly gearing up for a nice strong summer. It’s nice to see that both GSM and CDMA devices are being favored this time around. As for you Verizon subscribers, our friends at Berry Reporter just confirmed that Verizon will have the 9650 [...]

So, you’re another start-up carrier, launching in an already-saturated cellular market that is the GTA corridor. Offering a mid-range $40 “Unlimited” plan just wont cut it when competing with the incumbents. So what do you do? You undercut the competition and go cheaper. With the launch date finally here Public is offering a new unlimited [...]

Could Bell have a bit too much stock of the Palm Pre? In a final effort to move units the beleaguered phone has been put on the front of the company’s mobile website, priced at an attractive $0. Only the marketing teams knows for sure, but you will notice where once was the Blackberry Bold 9700 is [...]

You can file this as a rumor, but a solid connect has given us a tad bit of insight in regards to the infamous CDMA iPhone hopefully set to hit Big Red. Supposedly, May 1st is the day that Steve Jobs and Verizon meet in the Octagon, and the only REAL setback to closing this [...]
