Virgin Mobile in Canada is a cdma / hspa+ network. so its not GSM if its on Virgin]]>Jun 11th 2010 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/
I used the term GSM to refer to it using SIM cards. Virgin mobile is the sister company of Bell and uses the same CDMA and HSPA network at them.

To keep things simple and not to get technical, it's either GSM (which uses a SIM card) or CDMA... easy.]]>Jun 11th 2010 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/
GSM Implies 2G which its not. Plus saying its GSM would make people think it wont work on Bell or Telus, which in theory it would. I dunno, I just think its better to say what it actually is to avoid confusion.

Saskatchewan & Manitoba do not have HSPA so I'm confident that this is a HSPA/GSM phone. Alberta is got what seems like the second best network coverage outside of southern Ontario and in between is the vast prairie of CDMA only.]]>Jun 11th 2010 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/easy enough ? :)]]>Jun 11th 2010 7:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/Jun 11th 2010 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/

@Ducman69 You can apparently get a new subsidized phone sooner than every three years -- my understanding is from my family up there is that they get a new phone every 2, but they have to re-commit for 3. More or less like Sprint allows Premier users a new phone every year, though it requires signing up for 2 years from that point. ]]>Jun 12th 2010 1:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/Jun 11th 2010 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/Jun 11th 2010 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/Jun 11th 2010 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/Jun 11th 2010 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/
Most carriers in Canada use 3yr contracts, Otherwise you pay almost full price on the phone for a 2yr, say $100 off the full price of the phone. A 1 year contract is worse. We have 5 major carriers nationally and still there is no competition. I swear they have an agreement on costs.]]>Jun 11th 2010 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/GSM Hero in Canada, the good looking one (Got it)

The Canadian telco companies are too complacent. They're happy with what they're getting. And the new competition isn't going to help with the 3 year contracts. ]]>Jun 11th 2010 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/11/htc-legend-debuts-on-virgin-mobile-in-canada-glances-furtively/Haha who cares if we get it first... 3 year contracts are epic fail.

Anyone remember the Winter Olympics? So sorry.

Who scored the winning goal for Chicago? Better yet where are their best players from? Again so sorry.
