As much as I've been a fan of Samsung in past, I'd say either the N4 for it's Cost: value, or the HTC One for its solidity and good times.

I don't need 8 cores...and pentile?

Do it. I just transferred over a month ago, and for $5/month more, everything from voice, coverage to internet speed was an improvement.

If android handsets keep getting bigger and bigger, my next phone might actually be an iphone if they stay usable with one hand.

Wind sale is heating a storm..

Tony Lacavara and Naguib Sawiris wants to buy Wind again.. damn it... they messed up first time.. second go, maybe good, maybe bad...

FairFax, an investor for Blackberry, is also interested... I would think this would be better... If FairFax acquires Wind Canada, I think we would see exclusive BB for Wind only OR first priority over robelus...

There will always be a line of smaller screen phones, as long as you don't mind that it isn't a flagship.

I am one of the few that don't mind bigger phones at all.

I, too, don't hope that Tony Lacavara and its investors purchase WIND again. They don't know to manage the company.

It was a straight up marketing ploy on Fongo's part. They don't have intentions to buy WIND.

I'm in the burnaby deer lake area and have actually noticed a decrease in reception. At my gf's place in coquitlam, I used to get 1 bar, but now it seems to want to always be in roaming.

I actually activated a Bell tablet hotspot for my Nexus4... its a flex data plan...

$5-10mb | $15 - 250mb | $35 - 5GB

So if you go past 10mb, you will be bumped up to the $15 flex rate and so on.. which I think is good.. even at $35, 5GB is a lot...

Im actually using Fongo (provides free local calling and give you a local phone number). There is a slight delay when talking but I can live with that for the increase in speed. I will be testing this out for 1-2months and if I like it, I will be porting over and just doing this.. My talking time usage barely hits 50mins/month so voice network isnt an issues for me... So as I said, the delay in the voice doesnt bother me... LTE speed is amazing.. NOW I can finally surf the net and whatnot with having to wait...

At $35 for 5GB and not tied to a contract is awesome!!

It's because they have no way of tracking exactly where you are in times that you're unable to respond during a 911 call. They are developing new technology now for first responders to locate where you are via. GPS on your mobile devices. It's still in the very early stages. I would not bet my life on that.

I don't think it'll get a lot of people to join wind, but itll help ease the feelings of the people who don't want to leave the iWorld. I mean, how many empty-headed teens do you know who don't want to abandon their iPhones? I know a decent chunk. Having an iPhone will be really helpful for wind's longevity.

Though I don't look forward to the data clogging it'll inevitably bring. Stupid inefficient iPhones.
