Rogers Wireless’ owned Fido is preparing to spice up its portfolio on January 10th with two hot Android smartphones – Motorola RAZR and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The first of the two has been officially confirmed by Motorola Canada (via Twitter), while the second one is still in the “rumor phase.” It is said that the…
Remember the LG Optimus Pro, the Korean company’s low-end Android smartphone with BlackBerry-like form factor? Well it has been launched by Canada’s Fido as LG Gossip Pro. Not sure whether the name change was needed, but what do I know. Specs are the same and include a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen with full QWERTY keyboard beneath,…
It’s time for carriers all around the world to crank out those Valentine’s day promos. One of the first I’ve seen comes to us from Fido. They’ve stepped up to the plate (or in this case, the heart-shaped bed?) to offer their customers free Canadian long distance calls on February 14th. Not bad. With Valentine’s…

Available for free on a 2-year contract, or $90 outright (you can also run a $90 prepaid or month-to-month), the ‘quick messaging device’ packs quite a few features for a lower-end smartphone. Key features include: Full QWERTY keyboard 2.0…
A quickie here for all of the new Canadian iPad owners coast to coast, to coast. If you haven’t activated your data connection with Rogers or Bell just yet, you may want to give Fido a look too… They could very well join the iPad party as well. Check out a shot from Fido’s internal…
From what I can tell, the LG Gossip (GW300FD) is going to be one of the more uglier smartphones I’ve seen in awhile. The Mr. Blurrycam shot above shows off what looks to be a device that combines a BlackBerry-esque QWERTY keyboard with the dash of a ’99 Porsche Boxster. Something like that anyway. The…
