Rogers supports EDGE.

mobile windows > symbian os


a true revolution would that mobile carriers use each others' communications towers. And the only way of this happening is if the CRTC regulate this.

1-decrease costs
2-increases coverage
3-better services for users
4-less visual polution.

Fido and Rogers can support this phone since they run on SIM cards and these phone are usually unlocked when you buy them. The best place to buy phones like these is at Pacific Malls. Those Asians are geniuses when it comes to cell phones. If anyone's ever gone there and into the phone stores you'll know what I mean. Cale, a friend of mine has this phone and he's off the Fido network. For more phones go here

I have Rogers service and Nokia 6800 (one of the first) I get service everywhere (including my cottage) and have no complaints. EVERYONE GO ROGERS!!!!

Triband GSM FTW

I'm with City Fido and honestly it's the best plan ever, I never have to worry about "going over my minutes" and shit like that, I just talk whenever, wherever 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. I use to rack up so much extra minutes on my old plans that I'd be paying through my teeth like that, $100-120 a month is alittle much. With this I pay roughly 60 bucks with taxes and everything and peace of mind. Plus the coverage in the city is awesome but yeah go outside and the phones dead but I hardly venture outside of the GTA.

This is the phone I wanna get when it comes out

K600

Ahem, has anyone seen the Nokia 7280... I almost died... and I'm going out to buy one tonight. Goodbye 6800 hello 7280... This thing is uber sexy.

Holy shit.

Ah, I see how it works now. A spin wheel, like iPods. I imagine this one is mechanical like my 1st-gen iPod though?

Who cares, it's the sexiest phone I've ever seen. I'm on a quest to collect the sexiest version of anything I intend to own

So uh pics of girlfriend/wife please, thanks


How much does this phone cost? $500? $600?

Flying solo atm. Broke up with psycho gf. I'm outta shawshank and loving it!!!!!
I worry though as there seems to be another one angling in for approach. But she's sooo much more normal and mega cute half japanese/italian. I wonder if I'm just still bitter from the last one, but oh well! Carpe Diem and all that stuff.

And if the phone costs $600 it's still worth it.

A GSM network with EDGE/GPRS capabilites is often refered to as a 2.5g network. EDGE/GPRS is what basically gives your cell phone internet capabilities e-mail/web browsing etc.

3g refers to the next generation of standards, for GSM networks that means a migration to W-CDMA and for CDMA networks a migration to CDMA2000.

With 3g standards carriers hope to provide users with data rates of up to 2Mbps

Maybe when we get IPv6 all this mobile hardware will be IP devices.

Now that would be swanky!

IPv6 infrastructure is already in place

I know that most apps have been ported to include IPv6 - but not many devices/providers use it.

they don't use it (or maybe they do but you don't know about it) but their routers and other switching equipments are ready.

you see you could be on an ipv6 network without knowing about it because your ipv4 packets are encapsulated in ipv6 packets between switching equipments

now all they need are more affordable data transfer costs for the average end user!

$100 / month for mobile EDGE? Already sounds affordable to me.

GPRS on Fido is 30$ per MEG

I had a Telus cell and Telus landline until recently when the cell contract expired. Telus offered me as a good customer a rather lousy renewal contract, so I cancelled both the Telus cell and landline! And got a $25 Fido contract and Nokia cell, it's been working fine.

I have the unlimited incoming calls package with free evenings/weekends which suits me very well. The Telus cell coverage was a little better in my area but for my daily activities Fido is good, and will be better when Rogers integrates their GSM network with Fido's.

I had the Fido Sony T610 phone with camera, etc, kinda slick but the damn thing locked up on me and I had to remove the battery to fix it - that to me is unacceptable, common problem with that phone apparently, so I switched to the the very basic Nokia 3100 phone which is really better for the standard phone activities.

I'm hoping in a few years VOIP will be really cheap like $5 a month.

So right now I have:
- cell phone for normal communications (Fido GSM)
- cable internet (but no cable TV) (Shaw)
- satellite TV (ExpressVu)

All cool stuff and 30 years ago nobody would have thought we would have these technologies.

BTW Iv'e made good money investing in the companies that create these technologies, Nokia, Qualcomm, Dish Network, Intel, Microsoft, Dell, Apple etc etc. What's going to be the next big thing that can make us rich?
