News/Reviews: 2010-05-14 04:31:42 UTC: Wind Mobile | A New Canadian Company
A wind is blowing everything in Canadian mobile away and it is called WIND mobile. P.S Wind better not steal my catch phrases. Ok where do I start with this quick review on Wind Mobile? Wind mobile is a new mobile company in Canada that claims to be superior to the other companies. Don’t thank me yet but because I care so much for my people, I have taken the liberty to secret shop Wind Mobile on Wednesday 12, 2010. Ever since these guys broke into the market, the buzz has been pretty high. I myself a**umed that it was all hype but I stand corrected today, which is why I chose to write this totally unbiased review on Wind.
Wind is offering a $45 voice plan that includes unlimited text (US and Canada), Wind to Wind member calling across Canada, unlimited talk time (Canadian long distance included), and voicemail and caller ID. My first reaction was “OH MY GOD, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE ATLEAST IN CANADA”. They also have other plans like the $35 unlimited everything except Canadian long distance and the $15 plan with 100 minutes. If you may know, yes I was impressed .
Wind offers no contracts but all phones will have to be purchased at market value. Wind Mobile runs on a 3G AWS network, which is equivalent to the GSM network that we all know and love. Ok so what if they are running on a network that isn’t common. The representative that I spoke to claimed that it is a totally new network (Uh HuH). They say many wanted it but they were out bid. For crying out loud it is a 3G network and people like Virgin Mobile are running on the HSPA 3GS network (It is faster and better). I asked the employee if the phones used SIM cards and this is where it got interesting. Apparently Wind is made up of smarty bunches. The phones that Wind offers, are hot swappable with multiple networks. All of their phones will work with GSM, HSPA and AWS. This means that you will be able to leave Wind at anytime and take your phone to another company with no problems. Now that’s just very wicked, however the Wind employees do not work on commission so I can see how this will work  .
Let us go on and talk about the catch. In my professional opinion, there isn’t much of a catch. You will always have unlimited access if you are in the Wind home zones. Now before I continue, I would like to mention that this information was directly extracted from a Wind employee. So the Wind home zones are Ottawa, Edmonton, Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto. As long as you live in these areas, you will be covered. If you live in Ottawa, Barrhaven is not covered. So if you call from there, you will be charged 25 to 35 cents per minute when you call. For more details, please call Wind Mobile  .
In conclusion, Wind Mobile is not a bad company at all. Despite their arrogant and annoying approach to the market, it is working. People are going to Wind Mobile everyday and I think other mobile companies in Canada will have to step up their game a little. So now we know what Wind is all about, courtesy of http://www.techhelp.ca . I haven’t investigated their customer service approach but the representative that I spoke to was really nice and hid nothing from me.

Bugs: 2010-05-07 00:56:15 UTC: MiFi 2372 Recall
Manufacturer Recall for the MiFi 2372 is the reason why the 2372 have been taken off the shelf of major companies like Bell, Rogers and Virgin. Apparently the battery on the 2372 is defective. Battery swells up and blows out the system. Not cool guys, and I was all excited. BOO HOO

News/Reviews: 2010-05-03 12:43:07 UTC: Business Listing and MiFi
Hi Guys
If you own a computer repair business, this is the time to submit your business for listing. We will be launching a huge advertising campaign sometime in July or August and would like every company to be listed by then. Remember that the service is still FREE but this will change for each city after 10 listings per city.
On another note, check this out… So Bell Mobility, Virgin and Rogers all had the 3G MiFi and all of a sudden they pull the product off the market. Is this because they are switching to the 4G network like sprint in the USA? Well I am on a mission to find out why this is happening. Stay tuned for an update.

News/Reviews: 2010-04-30 04:39:33 UTC: MiFi - The Intelligent Mobile HotSpot For HSPA and CDMA Networks
The Mi-Fi is a line of compact wireless devices that work to provide Wi-Fi on the go. It was developed by Novatel Wireless and introduced to the USA in May 2009. This device comes in different models and each of them has pretty much the same functionality. The 3 current versions are MiFi 2200, 2352 (for Europe Only) and the 2372 (For North America Only). We will talk about the compatible networks shortly.
If you are still not sure what this device does, then I can explain better. We all know how wireless routers work. A wireless router is able to perform the functions of a router and also provide wireless access points. This enables other computers or devices to pick up internet signals. The MiFi is no different in its function, except for the ability to be fully mobile. Now that we got that out of the way, let’s move on…
MiFi 2200: The MiFi 2200 runs on CDMA 1xEVDO RevA networks. It provides that on the go wireless hotspot that people like me need. This device supports a maximum of 5 users at a time, so you can share your wireless internet with friends and family. As far speed goes, this version pales in comparison to the 2352(For Europe Only) and 2372 (For North America Only). CDMA2000 and wideband CDMA deliver data up to 384 Kbps. So if you were sharing this device with friends, you are looking at a data speed of 14kbps to 76kbps data per single device. I could not find out whether this device provides expandable storage so it is safe to say that it doesn’t. Now let’s move on, shall we.
MiFi 2352 for Europe and MiFi 2372 for North America: All hail the power of the new HSPA technology! HAHAHAHAHA, ok let’s get serious. These versions run on the HSPA networks with amazing speed. Provides a whooping 7.2 Mbps download and 5.76 Mbps upload. Expandable storage is up to 16GB via MicroSD slot. Up to 5 users can be supported at one time. Wow I like this…
