Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Coming soon to a Value Mobile store near you

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is about to be launched by Wind Mobile and Mobilicity.  I believe that we are about a week away.  Wind may have them sooner.  The Galaxy Nexus is such a beautiful cell phone sporting a: gorgeous 4.65" Super AMOLED touchscreen, a dual core 1.2 MHz processor giving out blazing speeds.  Wind Mobile say soon on their website.  Mobilicity has nothing listed their site.  So it looks like that Mobilicity will get theirs later than Wind Mobile.  One of the best features of this device is the fact this Samsung Galaxy Nexus comes factory unlocked!  Which means that if you are travelling abroad and would like to avoid horrendous roaming rates, you can now buy a SIM card for the local carrier their and use it without any unlocking required.  This is a Google feature as all Google Nexus's came unlocked to the consumer.
What is Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS)?
Ice Cream Sandwich is Google's latest rendition of the Android OS.  This is the latest technology for Android devices.  The precious Nexus, the Google Nexus S is upgrade-able to the new Ice Cream Sandwich.

Google Nexus S to be launched in Canada?!? Wind or Mobilicity or both?

According to Mobile Syrup it seems that Google Nexus S is coming out and coming soon! Yeah! Finally Canada gets some love. I know its coming for Rogers or Belus, but will Wind or Mobilicity get it? Mobilicity does carry the Google Nexus One and I assume they will be getting for sure, but I don't perceive Wind mobile sitting on their hands for the Nexus S. With a slew of enhancements and the New Android Gingerbread 2.3, I'm sure its a hot phone coming to our shores.

Specs
The Google Nexus S has a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor
4-inch touchscreen (resolution of 800 x 480)
512MB RAM
16GB ROM
GPS
NFC (Near-field communications)
5 megapixel camera with Flash and HD video recording
Wifi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth
weighs in at 129 grams.

Mobilicity will be getting locked versions of the Google Nexus One.  As it is, they currently sold out of the unlocked versions.  I hope now the price drops even further, considering they will be locked to Mobilicity.  But, I am waiting on the Google Nexus S for myself as the 2 camera's is a very nice feature i would use weekly.

Using T-Mobile phones on Wind or Mobilicity

There has been a lot of confusion in the market with which phones can and cannot be used with Wind or Mobilicity. Both Wind and Mobilicity run on AWS (Advance wireless service) which is a 3G protocol competing with the HSPA or HSPA+. But its not GSM. This is where i feel the confusion is. T mobile USA (TMobile UK will not work), Wind Mobile and Mobilicity both operate on 1700/2100 MHz AWS. Most phones from these carriers will work with each other. T-Mobile also has GSM, so that's why i wrote most! FYI: Blackberry will make the same model twice.
1. HSPA + GSM - Rogers, Fido, Bell, Telus, Koodo, Chatr(they currently don't have data)
2. AWS - Wind and Mobilcity

Here is the list of phones from T mobile that will work with either Mobilicity or Wind. These are the current phones that T-Mobile sells.

Motorola CLIQ 2™ with MOTOBLUR™
T-Mobile® Comet™
Garmin-Asus Garminfone™
LG Sentio
Samsung Gravity 3
Nokia E73 Mode

Now, its not just as easy as buying one from T-mobile and slapping in your wind Sim and it will work. Realize that every phone usually locked to the carrier their from. in order to use these lovely phones from T-Mobile on Wind or Mobilicity will require unlocking. We at Value Mobile can also help you with unlocking them.
