    haha, I saw that yesterday,....still rockin the pink RAZR...good times. I remember a few years back when you lost it or something, and I posted some pictures of a pink RAZR in the thread, and you thought I stole it :embarassed:
    You probably stole it. You owe me $400 bucks for buying a new pink RAZR. Plus extended warranty... stupid lady at Bell talked me into it!

    So you are admitting that you stole my phone.

    And wtf when did you become a mod!
  • edited March 2009
    Way to keep up with the TalkSFU current events =P I've been a mod for a few weeks now. There was an announcement made, but I don't think anybody checks the bottom few forums.

    Lemme see if I still have the picture of the pink RAZR that I posted in that thread....



    EDIT: found it

    i'm with fido but i have had problems with their billing before. I mean real big problems. My account got hacked and someone working in fido was giving sim card information away or something and i got hit. Next month my bill comes in the mail and i nearly had a heart attack LOL. My monthly bill that month was over $16,000 for the month. CRAZY... apparantly someone had used my sim card info and was charging internet access, long distance calls, service fees, and others to my account and i got hit. Took a whole 3 weeks to argue with Fido about it and they waived the charges. I immediately took precautions by changing my card and took other security measures. Next month the bill was $27,000... apparantly this was an inside job as i argued with fido again... they admitted that there was an internal security breach and that some individuals was hitting random cards and distributing them out for use while the original account holder would be charged. I'm still stuck with fido but the bills have been ok lately though i wished i had a different plan. Maybe after my contract is up i'll get a better plan and phone at the same time. Did any of you have billing problems as large as mine? Do Tell... :)

    the bads experience i've had with fido are minor.. they've screwed up my bills a couple of times.. billing me for services i don't use.. so i had to call in to clear that up..

    then a couple of months ago my auto payment didn't go through cause the visa company froze my account suspecting potential fraud (which indeed happened) so i call them and told them of my case they promised they'll waive the late payment charge.. the next invoice comes and the big fat late payment charge was sitting there.. =.=" so i had to call in and settle THAT again...

    but yeah.. i just find it funny that fido always pride themselves about great customer service.. =.="

    Sorry for the resurrection, but I figured this would pertain to this thread.

    ^ I'm with Bell (postpaid) and I could not agree more how it deserves to be down there at the bottom.

    This is definitely helpful as I won't have to do so much research on which provider to switch to. Great post!
  • edited April 2009
    Funny how Fido is 4th in line for postpaid while everyone in this thread have practically complained about Fido.

    Bell has it's share of dropped calls and bad reception. I remember when I worked there... our most common line was, "Sir, Bell cannot guarantee reception EVERYWHERE." Also, there were a lot of dropped calls in basements suites--which I've hardly heard of on a Roger's phone.

    I'm with Rogers and I doubt I'd ever switch.

    I started out with Telus originally, back in 2002. Dropped calls, bad reception, and also a LOT of hidden fees/billing mistakes.

    Then I switched over to Rogers in 2005/2006 and I've never had a problem since then--they even let me get out of paying $400 or so in Roaming charges I "didn't know about."

    A couple of things I love about my Roger's phone too are that 1) when I go over to my mom's, the Roger's phone always has full bar while my mom's and brothers' Telus phones are either at 1 or 2 reception bars.. and 2) I had a Rogers and Bell phone for a while when I worked for Bell, I loved putting the two phones beside each other at pretty much anywhere and seeing how Rogers had full bars and Bell had less than 2 or 3 bars.

    I've switched phones several times on Rogers network, some I've purchased on the internet, some from Rogers. I've never had a problem with reception or accessing the network. With Telus or Bell, I've heard alot about how reception depends on the certain phone as well (something about the Guadband, correct me if I'm wrong).

    Anyhow--hard core Roger supporter and doubt I'll ever switch.

    ^I'm thinking of switching to Telus JUST because they've got the Samsung Omnia...

    iPhone > Samsung Omnia

    That is all.

    no way gurl
    iphone is much better
    man i cant wait for the 2 nuviphones to come out
  • edited April 2009
    ^Agree. I think it's UI is so simple and yet so ingenious. I can't believe none of the other phone manufacturers came up with it.
  • edited April 2009
    Too bad the Nuvifone touch screen is resistive. The interface looks aesthetically pleasing enough, but definitely doesn't look as fun to operate as the iPhone. Plus the lack of multi-touch means it won't have intuitive controls like the iPhone.

    Has anyone tried the G1 google phone?

    do you orgasm every time you accept a call on your iphone too? lol

    anyways, my samsung jack broke, called fido, took about 5 min to get her to send me a replacement, good service if you ask me

    also, i heard rumors that the nokia touch screen phone is transitioning to the capacitive screen, take that iphone!

    oh i know
    but at the same time iphones gps features will shit bricks in comparison :P

    also it will be interesting to see what the new iphones (3 new ones coming out) in June will pack

    I'm not sure but I think Apple has some patent on the multitouch UI which is making it hard for everyone else to apply it on their phones.

    The Omnia HD. It's equipped with a freakin 8MP camera and can record HD videos. o_O

    I don't think it's out in canada yet.

    What the fank are you gonna do with an 8mp camera on a cellphone?
    I dont know much about photography, but from what i understand, 5mp is optimal for regular size prints.
