WIND MOBILE HAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED!!!!!!!! BRINGING REAL VALUE TO THE INDUSTRY.
now there are some things that they have to work out as they grow as a company, but they are truly going to shake shit up. This morning @ 10am they launched all their Toronto stores, as well as their Calgary stores.
Although there network doesn't cover all of Canada yet, hopefully this will be the case by mid-2010 (they won't have coverage though in Quebec). Right now the only "zones" that you won't be roaming in is Toronto or Calgary, so if you don't travel much then this is awesome.
------
Right now here are the phones that they are offering. They also are all bought outright so you don't have a contract that you are bound to.
- Blackberry Bold 9700 $450.00 OUTRIGHT!!!!!
- HTC Maple $300.00 OUTRIGHT!!!!!

so far these plans are way way way way way way way way way better then anything else we have seen in canada so far.
o did i mention they are also the first company to offer a decent deal on mobile internet.
yeah you have to be in the WIND HOME zone but it's fine if you are living in toronto.
the data stick- $150.00
UNLIMITED INTERNET FOR $55.00/MONTH crazy, you know what you get for $55.00/month for internet sticks from the other guys..... shit all compared to this. A no brainer!
So to sum this up a little bit of my opinion. Yeah right now you are going to be roaming anytime you are not in Calgary or Toronto, but that is going to change as they roll the network out nation-wide. I hope this makes that WIND HOME zone disappear and change into a province-wide zone, or even better COUNTRY-WIDE ZONE!!!!!
this is definitely a company to keep your eye on. WATCH OUT ROGERS, BELL, AND TELUS.... THERE IS A NEW KID IN TOWN, AND HE'LL BE KICKING YOUR ASS SOON
