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

WINDspeed Data Stick E1691 - Tested!

WINDspeed Data Stick E1691

Wind mobile had a data stick last year and that was just terrible!  We have many problems with it.  Wind mobile just launched a new one and it is amazing.  The new Huawei E1691 works great even on Windows 7. Windows 7 incompatibility plagued  the Huawei E181.  

Now add the ridiculously inexpensive $25 unlimited data plan to and who needs home internet anymore? 

Data speed tests will be done and posted shortly.

Wind launching a new Huawei?

With a price point below $99, Wind mobile is set to launch the Huawei U9150 or something similar to this cell phone model.  Get ready guys to sell these hot cakes as i feel its going to be a big seller.  It has the an older trackball which became popular on the older BlackBerry's.  The trackball was a huge problem for the BlackBerry's as they use to stick and get dirty.  Thats why BlackBerry went with the trackpad instead.  Besides this, the phone will be in direct competition with Nokia C3 that we sell with Chatr.

Specs:
Screen: 320 x 240 pixels, 2.4 inches
Wifi: NO
Primary Camera: 2 MP, 1600x1200 pixels
Front Camera: Yes, CIF
Bluetooth: Yes
MicroSD
Google Search
Google Maps

Wind Mobile has successfully tested LTE and HD Voice

LTE (or commonly known as 4G) can reach peak download speeds between 100 – 150 Mbps (Megabits per second), which is damn fast and is now fast enough to compete with home internet services via Rogers cable or Bell Simpatico.  Since Wind offers unlimited bandwidth, many customers may opt-out to get the wireless data sticks instead.  This is a big leap for wireless services in Canada.

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
LG Optimus T
Samsung Gravity T

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.
