This is just ridicules. In Canada we have worse mobile service in the world and this is not a joke. Most developing countries have lower price rate for much better quality mobile service. I will vote for anyone on next election who can promise that we will have the mobile service provider that can deliver high quality service with a reasonable price rate. There is no one country in Europe has so high price rate and so poor quality service!!!

I used to have Nokia and Sendo smartphones. But now i have HTC Magician ( http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-magician-en.shtml ) for nearly 2 years now. I am really really happy with it altho it has M$ Winblows and i have to reset it from time to time. But 2 years is the absolute max i can have a cell without the urge to get a new one. I ve been using the Magician to read ebooks and web pages and play games and sometimes even to watch a South Park episode. But on sunday i decided to get a new one and my main criteria was a bigger screen ( well more pixels ) and the the only geeky solution i could find was the HTC Universal ( http://www.pdagold.com/articles/detail.asp?a=257 ). It has 4 times the resolution as the Magician ( it has VGA ) and WLAN + UMTS. Its a VERY big, but i dont care. From what i read it used to suck bigtime with Windows Mobile 5, but now WM6 is out and can be installed and it seems to be very neat. I hope i will get it in two days and might report back with my findings ;) .. ugh past 3am .. /me has to sleep now. Bye bye Hi Cat!
