Some quick Bell news for Canadians this morning. Starting today and running through March 16th, Bell has decided to waive their standard $35 connection charge. To cash-in on the discount you’ll need to activate any Consumer or Small Business rate plan on a 36 month term (yes, that’s 3 years). It’s worth noting however, that…
Not to be out-done by Rogers, Telus and Bell both confirmed this morning that they would be offering data plans for the iPad 2. Their e-mails didn’t say anything about selling the device itself, so I can only assume that Apple is twisting both of their arms and getting users out of three-year contracts just…
The Motorola Atrix has been getting busy down in the U.S., but until today, those of us north of the border were out in the cold. As usual. Bell recently announced the exclusive availability of the Motorola Atrix, and its little dock too. It’ll go for $169.95 on a three-year contract starting March 17. Not…
Rogers is locked in to bring the BlackBerry PlayBook to Canada, Telus has hinted heavily that they’ll be offering it, and now Bell, the last of the big three, has confirmed they’ll be selling RIM’s first tablet by way of an ad at The Source. Bell actually owns the retail outlet, so there’s not much…
The HTC HD7, which has been chilling out on T-Mobile the last couple of months, has crawled its way north of the border into Canada, and found refuge from the elements in Bell Mobility’s retail igloo. Bell is claiming the exclusive on the HTC HD7, and selling it for $99.95 on a three-year contract, or…
It’s Super Bowl time down in Dallas, and quite honestly, I don’t know who to pick. The Packers and the Steelers are two of my favorite NFL teams, so all I’m hoping for is a close game that comes down to the wire (overtime would be nice). With the fanfare and buildup hitting us in…
We’ve heard launch dates for the Motorola Atrix 4G being tossed around a fair bit, ranging from March 1 to as soon as February 13. We now have an even later window, March 17, to add to the pile, and some confirmation that it’s coming to Canada by way of Bell. A later launch date…
I’m by no means a Nokia fan, and quite honestly, I don’t follow the comings and goings of the company very closely. That said, my first mobile device was a Nokia, and the manufacturer does cling to a fond spot in my heart. That’s why, every once and awhile, I like to pop up a…
The Motorola Atrix will probably cost a pretty penny when it comes out on Bell, so any Canadians looking for something a little more affordable will be interested in hearing about the LG Optimus Chic coming our on January 14. The suggested retail price is $249.95, meaning it’ll probably be free once you sign on…
Yesterday AT&T announced the Motorola Atrix 4G, but the Android 2.2 monster will be hitting shores elsewhere too. To the north, Canada’s Bell Mobility scored an exclusive, though they don’t give us any indication of pricing or availability dates. Orange UK on the other hand told us it would be available in Q2. The funny…
