Yay! No more furtive looks at my device on the bus!

Fun stuff, it has a ridiculous amount of radios:
Quad Band GSM (850/900/1800/1900)
HSDPA/UMTS (850/1900/2100)
GPS
WiFi (802.11 a/b/g)
Bluetooth.

I'm just bitter that my 7520 is far slower than Dialup, for the 92 bucks a month it costs :)

That, and the front bezel broke a few months after I got it, and RIM wouldn't sell me a new one, and Telus was useless too :)

Granted, the 7520 could be run over by a car and it'd still work.. so RIM still wins :)

I believe there's several EVDO capable BBs available? (at least, they exist, whether Bell/Telus have them is unknown to me)

Yeah, but I'm stuck with iDEN.. :)

That, and high speed would be bad, because Telus charges 8 bucks a meg anyways :)

Rock, hard place. :)

I'm done bitching now :)

You're on iDEN?! We have iDEN in Canada?!

800mhz FTW!

Works on Nextel in the US, and Telus in Canada.
