Here's another (new) Canadian!

I just switched from Fido to Rogers, the US roaming rates were just retarded & the "customer service" doesn't deserve the name.

The Sony shop in Polo park just got in a new shipment of fones, some K550, K790 & the 1st five or something W610's, still in the box on the counter. Well, the 1st black 610 was sold instantly, they had higher prices in their system than on the sony style website, but matched the online prices, 349.99 + tax.

If anybody's interested in that fone, give me a shout once Z750 is out

Unlocking seems to be a problem here, nobody has really caught on to the idea of "free" fonez, not even customers, they think the shops of network providers were fone shops, I'm still searching for some1 in 'peg to unlock my x-Fido Z520.
Maybe it will make sense to buy the SW & perform unlocks as a side job...

Greetz, Ben

will the P900i work perfectly in canada? im migrating soon and was wondering...any thoughts would be highly appreciated

Posted by Prom1
yes will work but if your in the sticks - country land - away from city - minimal coverage so you GET no signal you don't have the stronger 850mhz band. You're better off with P910i device.

Hi, I recently purchased the K800i and am having a heck of a time setting up the mms. I'm on fido and I've been sent the settings but alas after manually entering them I'm still without mms functionality. I've tried the SE website, but despite numerous attempts at using their configurator page, I haven't been sent the settings and it frustrates me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am Canadian & just stumbled upon this thread here.
I am a SE-K700 user thinking of buying a SE-K810i the latest in the series.
Just found a few sources to buy in Canada & the links with prices are as follows:

Please let us know if any one has actually bought from these sources & Happy with them.

The cheapest is from Hi-Mobile – US $ 362.00
http://www.hi-mobile.net/Sony[....]Ericsson-K810i-Fully-Unlocked/

Then from Markways - CAN$ 499.99
http://www.markways.com/detail/653/Sony_Ericsson_K810i/

I can CONFIRM that Hi-Mobile.net is a TRUSTED source! I've purchased from them before and will again shortly when the W580 Black & z760 comes in stock.

Do a WHO IS search on the company name and you'll SEE they're LEGIT!

Hey fellow Canadians
Does anyone know of another forum/post (or any website for that matter) that explains in detail how to use the GPRS of the phone on a laptop, either through the service cable or blue tooth. I guess I should mention I use the W810i and Rogers is my carrier

Thanks for any info

Hey Punks!

A Waterloo, Ontario born Vancouverite here.

I just switched to Rogers Wireless here in Van-City, and purchased a shiny new unlocked SE-K810i. Trouble is, since it's unlocked, none of the MMS settings are inputted into the phone.

The SE website has a MMS setup wizard, but it's not working and I'm not receiving the text message installer from them. Text messages work fine on my phone, so I think it's their server.

Anyhow, I've called Rogers Wireless AND SE to ask how to set it up, either of which really didn't help (to an extent).

Rogers sent me text messages of the settings, but I'm not sure how I go abouts putting them into my phone, as I have to create profiles everywhere and link the profiles and whatnot.

So any fellow K810 users know how to setup the MMS through the menus?

Here are the settings that Rogers sent me:

SMS#1

IP: 172.025.000.107

Ignore & delete what Rogers sent you. First is the K810 an 850Mhz capable device? If not you just lost out on EDGE as EDGE on Rogers is restricted to 850Mhz (very VERY few towers across the country use 1900Mhz for EDGE), sorry.

Hi,

I just started using my iPhone on Fido (unlimited plan). Love it.

Hey! I recently unlocked and debranded my SE k850i. I'm currently running on the 037 firmware, which is running well thus far. I purchased and the phone from Rogers - now that I've debranded, all of Rogers applications are gone. No vision or rogers browser. Is there anyway to get these features back?

Can anyone provide assistance with setting up WAP and MMS on my SE k850i?

I've read the posts above, but I don't quite understand what to do...

Canadian spectrum auction!

http://network.nationalpost.c[....]-nigh-for-jaguar-wireless.aspx

[quote=Financial Post]SpectrumWatch: Round 21 results - The end is nigh for Jaguar Wireless
Posted: June 04, 2008, 11:11 AM by David George-Cosh
Telecom, SpectrumWatch

With no bidding in the last five rounds or so and the expiration of its last waiver, Jaguar Wireless Holding Corp. appears to be on its last legs.

The company, led by former CanTel boss David Parkes and funded by a variety of Saudi Arabian firms, today may be the end for Jaguar Wireless. Mr. Parkes and his associates have remained very quiet throughout the auction process and only bid on Toronto spectrum licences, topping its bidding at $213-million.

Regardless, at the end of round 21, bidding continues to climb with revenues reaching $2.62-billion. If the auction were to end today, the three incumbent players – Telus Corp., BCE Inc. and Rogers Communications Inc. – would control the

New entrants Quebecor Inc. Globalive Communications Corp. and Data & Audio-Visual Enterprises Wireless Inc., who are each vying for national bids are still contesting several licences such as southern Ontario, Toronto and B.C. Shaw Communications Inc. has scaled back its bidding but still remains in the running for spectrum in B.C., Nova Scotia, northern Ontario and Winnipeg. Upstart Novus Wireless Inc. may represent the last of the regional players with $43.4-million devoted to licences throughout metropolitan areas in B.C. and Edmonton.

Will bidding reach $3-billion? With three more rounds today, it certainly might.

UPDATE Fellow Canadians!!!

Rogers customers gain access to Nokia's innovative mobile services on Canada's fastest mobile network

as First posted by Apoc on his site (http://www.a site.com/news/008/09/groundbreaking_gage_and_maps_services_on_rogers.htm) and also

Rogers source: http://your.rogers.com/investorrelations/news_wireless.asp
You need to specifically click on the heading " Nokia launches groundbreaking N-Gage and Nokia Maps services on Rogers Wireless' High-Speed Network" for September 10th in the above site as it renders within a Java window

Nokia source: http://www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1250249

[quote=Rogers Wireless & Nokia] Toronto, Canada and San Francisco, CA, USA - Rogers Wireless and Nokia today announced the Canadian availability of exciting new wireless services that allow Rogers consumers to experience the latest in mobile gaming and navigation on Nokia devices. This services agreement between Nokia and Rogers is the first such agreement with a wireless carrier in North America, further establishing Rogers Wireless' leadership in delivering Canadian consumers leading-edge wireless data experiences.

Nokia Maps, with GPS functionality and featuring Location Based Services, enables users to expertly navigate, whether searching for an unfamiliar address in their home city or exploring a vacation destination. Consumers can see the world in a new way, with on-screen maps for more than 160 countries and millions of points of interest. Making finding your way easier than ever before, users can now plan their route street to street, city to city, or country to country. They can view different perspectives, including satellite images, street maps, or combinations of the two.

Using Nokia Maps, users can enjoy world-class car navigation with turn-by-turn visual and voice guidance in 46 languages, and dynamic re-routing to avoid trouble spots. For those needing the last mile assistance or pedestrian guidance in town, consumers can get turn-by-turn navigation instructions on their Nokia device.

With Nokia N-Gage, consumers can easily find, try and buy the best in mobile games with a range of innovative, made-for-mobile titles from Nokia, such as Reset Generation and Dirk Dagger and The Fallen Idol, as well as popular brands from leading 3rd party publishers. Consumers are able to take their mobile gaming experience to new heights as they connect with other users through the N-Gage Arena community. Through this thriving community, consumers can meet friends, find others to challenge, communicate with each other via message boards, live chat, tournaments and other interactive exchanges that bring the mobile gaming experience to life.

THIS is how contracts & business relationships should be done! I hope SE can pick up their game in handset functionality & design and negotiate deals.
