I've just booked my New Year's trip to Mt Ste Anne, Quebec. Anyone
know how good is the coverage, especially on the slopes. I know that
at least here in Ontario the resort I use most often (Blue Mountain /
Collingwood) it is pretty much non-existent. Hopefully they have more

I am looking to upgrade my phone from my current Nokia 3390 and was
wondering what types of phones are out there in the $250.00 range.  I've
been with Nokia since I have been a Fido customer and I would like to
change.  I like the looks of the Siemens M55 and SL55 are they good ...

I was looking to buy a a56 cheaply.  Anyone have this phone issued by
Fido?  Do you like it?
Not looking for a review of any advanced features, but the basics,
reception, sound quality, battery life and durability.

Does fido (Vancouver) have firmware for 6310i?  I'm looking for upgrade to
V5.50 or higher.
Thank
Pete

Hi, everytime I download a ringtone, the phone will 'reboot' itself
and the ringtone won't be saved.  Anyone find a way to get around the
problem yet?
Or has a new firmware been released yet?

  I'd like to buy a Nokia 6600 as soon as it comes out.
(I hear it's coming in October).   But the problem is, it
seems like it will only come out in Europe at first.
  So I'm thinking I'll have to buy through the Internet.

I've had the Nokia 7210 and the GPRS package for a couple of months.
The phone is alright and everything seems to work ok.  The internet
access is spotty at best.  I never have a problem getting a connection
but the wap pages never seem to work properly.

I have a nokia with the fido service, If I download some ringtones how do I
install some of them on my cell...I must need a cable right?? and where can
I get one..
thanks to all

This is not Fido, but I am sure some people here will be interested in
my comments, so here are my observations:
- Screen is too tiny (effective usable size is less than 1/2 the area of
my Visor)

Comes with everything in the box, including two extra face plates. Locked to
Fido but comes with an un-activated SIM.
Anyone knows what's a rough price on this?

Has anybody had any success via IR.
I don't want to do a lot of data, but am getting a new Palm PDA and
would like the opportunity to check some websites on the road (ie ferry
conditions, airport information, company email)

I am trying a Sony Clie Peg UX50
Nice machine, excellent keyboard, but I am running into one problem with
     IR. I cannot get it to connect with my Nokia 8390 via IR, which
works fine with my laptop.

let's say i have the unlimited local calling plan, as does a friend who also
lives in my city.  
if that friend travels to another city, and i call them, i know i don't pay
anything.  i know they would pay roaming (10 cents/m, i think).  would the

Anyone here have a spare unactivated fido sim card to get rid of?
Need it to activate an old phone Im giving to someone.
Thanks.
May also be interested on an active prepaid sim card , with or without a

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The cellular industry is questioning its reliance on
the nation's electric grid after last month's massive blackout, which
outlasted the backup power reserves of many cell phone transmission sites.
