Will Bell Canada buyout lead to a GSM conversion? {Engadget Mobile}

Apr 4th 2009 12:50AM Ive been a cell phone rep for fido for five years and I can tell you that Ive heard alot of rumors troughout the years about different scenarios for bell. One thing Ive heard since Ive moved to whistler area (british-colombia where olympic will be held next year) is that bell is planning on lounching the 4G gsm network prior to the olympic coming to us. So we'll see if thats true or not.

Personnally I hope this is true, It sucks for bell user (and telus as well) who need to call or go online and wait 24 hours to get there ISN change just to get a new phone when you can just wake up in the morning and pick the phone that you wanna use for that specific day (remember dont take your expensive blackberry or iphone to go ski or snowboard!). ;-p
