Just turned in stock today. Very tempting if I don't have another year left on Rogers, especially the unstoppable 45 plan.

I BELIEVE that since the UNSTOPPABLE 45 is still available, it's "hidden" equivalent does too.

By calling in and asking for the IRRESISTIBLE 35, you get the exact same features for $10 less.

Wind sells it for $525. Koodo & Telus webstore sells the Nexus S for $425 and I read somewhere that it comes unlocked and will work with Telus/Bell/Rogers. Koodo Nexus S doesn't work on Wind, and vice versa.

You can only get it from Koodo if you buy it on tab or as an upgrade for existing Koodo customers. You can't buy it outright. But the phone won't work on Wind anyways.

Wind offers a $100 port in credit, if you activate with a $45 and up plan. Change you plan to the $35 plan by calling in, and it will become a $25 credit.

You can also get the phone for $375 on WindTab.

Yeah Koodo you need to be existing customer, but just hit up Telus Team Web Store, no contract involved. And I did mention you can't used Koodo/Telus Nexus S on Wind and vice versa.

I think there's already a thread on Wind experience somewhere. Most people are happy with it. $35 for unlimited NA calling and data is sweet.

data is fast. it's faster than rogers when my friend and i had our bold 9700 do a test.

there's a few dead zones deep inside buildings.
there's a lot of dead zones all over UC haha
but i live on wifi anyways
of course i'm not complaining with unlimited data, mms, sms, and NA calling anytime for dirt cheap

also, the reviews for nexus s aren't that impressive...
definitely nowhere near nokia in terms of reception. (i.e in a 'dead zone' on the NS, nokia could pick up one bar)... but then again nobody comes close to nokia

NA calling anytime, data w/ BIS, SMS, MMS, VM, CID
The irresistible 35 is exactly unstoppable 45 at the lower price

it's in preparation of mobilicity launch sometime this year.

hmm, wonder if Fido will match that action. I am paying twice that right now... haha

[Xtrema]

^ I doubt it. For that I think you have to go to Chatr (Rogers/Fido's Wind fighter).

[benyl]

chatr has no data.

Mobilicity is launching soon too and offer similar plans to Wind. They are also AWS like Wind and will carry the Nexus S.

The Irresistable 35 is actually better because it includes unlimited US calling.

Nevermind. Aspen is not in the Wind Zone.
