BELL MOBILITY - HSPA GSM Coverage 2010
It is probably known knowledge about this with all the Bell reps out there. Bell has been diligently working on their new goal, have HSPA Coverage out via 900/1800 Frequency by 2010 (Olympic Games). TWO reasons:
A: When all the tourists come to Vancouver and Canada for the Olympic games, they will mostly see BELL MOBILITY on their handsets, rather then Rogers.
B: Highly increased speeds on World Edition Handsets (ie BB STORM) for data via the new HSPA.
I found this out not long ago, and was rather estatic. I plan to have a Storm by then from my current Pearl to take advantage of this.
A good way to look at how better speed will be, with Rogers, all their handsets are using their HSPA (3.5G) towers for the Bold, iPhone, Vision phones and then some. All for calls and data. Where Bell Mobility will be using the HSPA exclusively for the Data connection, and using the EV-DO Cdma signal for the voice. Alot less people have World edition phones on Bell then Rogers so less people on the towers, and better connection (In theory...)
But still neato news that Bell is doing this. And not only Bell Mobility Clients will take advantage of this, Telus is also launching with this, probably bunking off Bell's Towers.
