Canadian Fido now offers Nokia E62 and Sony Ericsson Z710i

Fido, the other GSM carrier in Canada, just boosted its offering by adding two neat devices.
The first is Nokia E62, a 2.5G WLAN-less version of the popular E61 business smartphone. That should bring some affordable Symbian S60 love in the country.
The other device is the midrange clamshell device - Sony Ericsson Z710i, a fairly decent device, sporting the solid 2 MP camera and Bluetooth.
Finally the pricing. The Nokia E62 will be sold for about $170 (200 CAD), and Sony Ericsson for about $64 (75 CAD). The bad thing is that both devices require a way-too-long 3 year contract. And as Engadget guys said it - thank goodness for early upgrades.

I am a Fido user right now, and I have been using unlocked phones for my last 3 handsets. I currently have the N80 and I would never downgrade to a handset offered by Fido.
P.S.. Canada now has the option to change providers and keep your existing number!! ABOUT FRICKEN TIME~!
