HTC Touch

I finally got my hand on a HTC Touch.  Yes, it's not an iPhone but I the iPhone is not available in Canada yet and I absolutely need to sync from Exchange.

I also switched from Rogers to Bell Mobility because of the outrageous cost of Internet access at Rogers (and most Canadian carriers).  Bell is now offering unlimited Internet access for a mere $7/month!

Yes, Bell is CDMA not GSM and that sucks but from by good friend Barry Gervin recommendation, if I go to Europe, I'll just bring with me an old GSM phone and I'll buy a cheap pay as you go GSM card.

One nice thing about the unit offered by Bell is that the processor runs at 400Mhz instead of 200Mhz.  What's sucks is that it doesn't have WiFi but with unlimited Internet access, who needs WiFi  ;-)

I was also amazed at how easy it is to set Direct Push from Exchange...well, there's nothing to do if you already have OWA configured.  Nice!

Bell was also including for free a set of Altec Lansing T515 BlueTooth speakers/headset and a 2GB microSD card.  Good deal!

  • Agreed, I signed a 2 year only contract. And you're totally right, the plan doesn't include the use of the Internet connection with a laptop. I wonder how can they detect this.
