Re: Nexus One Purchasing experience (ON, Canada)
Update:
Almost immediately after posting my last post I found i noticed my Nexus One had finished charging so the total initial charge time was about 1.5 hours. After turning on my phone I noticed that I was unable to use the internet. I called Telus and they told me that I had to get a new plan, then 10Pm rolled around and the lady I was talking to pretended that she could no longer hear me and hung up. I guess she was excited to get home, can't blame her but I was pissed. Today I called again and after talking to support and 2 customer service people they told me that I couldn't use my 2 year old Grandfauthered plan with my new phone for data. My plan is an unlimited plan for everything but voice and also has fav 10. The new plan that would cost me the same as the one that I am currentilly on would be 50% worse on most stuff and even worse for others. No unlimited texts any more 500 MB of data instead of unlimited 100 min not 200, 3 Voice Mails not 10 and so on. Now I was really pissed so while calling Fido to see what they had to offer me I looked it up on Google and found the APN settings for telus's network, entered them in and away it went 3G showed up and my internet is WORKING. hahaha F U Telus. Find below the APN settings for when you also switch to the Nexus One. APN: sp.telus.com No username/password MMS APN: sp.telus.com MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc MMS Proxy: 74.49.0.18:80 Tethering APN: isp.telus.com |

Re: Nexus One Purchasing experience (ON, Canada)
Great posts. Funny how the carriers always tell you that something won't work with you plan, then you go on here or other sites and see where people get it to work.
I hope you enjoy your Nexus One as much as I do. Its the best phone I've ever owned.

Re: Nexus One Purchasing experience (ON, Canada)
I must confess that I enjoyed your story - not your suffering. I can relate to it. First off, I also have a Nexus One and I love it, it is a great phone (beats my Hero any day). Unfortunately Sprint provides the best coverage where I live. AT&T barely offers coverage, but they do have a femto cell (aka :MicroCell) that works wonders so now I can enjoy my phone at home. Enjoy it!
Oh yeah, second - I missed the FedEx delivery guy buy a few minutes and had to drive to the FedEx depot (?) at 18:30 to pick up a phone one time so I know how it feels. The wait can be excrutiating. El Mono |

Re: Nexus One Purchasing experience (ON, Canada)
Curious...what did the duties / taxes cost you in total? Also, any updates now you've had it for a few weeks regarding signal quality, issues on Telus, etc?

Re: Nexus One Purchasing experience (ON, Canada)
OP loved your story, excellent story telling skills. I love my nexus one also but I have an EVO as well and sprint does actually give better service here as well.

Re: Nexus One Purchasing experience (ON, Canada)
Sorry for the late reply, The price details are below.
So far with my nexus one I have had no issues with signal quality what so ever. the 3G is excilent and I even got a 3Mbps upload at one time, but it is usually around 1.5Mbps. The only issue that I have had is that when I was visiting Niagra Falls my data connection turned its self off to protect me from roaming charges from the US towers that it was picking up. I did not try to change any settings to prevent it from using the forign towers. Also a treat that I got from google the other day was acess to googles navigation, it was previously only avaliable in the USA(and UK i think) but now it is in Canada, and I will say it is incredible deal for free. It really is a good 3D voice navigation system complete with TTS. I am currentilly running 2.2 with the latest build (FRF72) and everything is working great. However, a tip for anyone on telus planning on updating: You have to set the port to 80 in the APN settings to get the browser to work. One more thing that I will add is that the camera is atcually really good. I was using it on the maid of the mist and the pictures that it took were pretty amazing for a cell phone camera. it seems to take really good outdoor pictures but inside the pictures are grainy. Nexus one: $529.00 USD Shipping: $27.16 USD DHL COD (duties and taxes) $ 78.49 CAD |

Thank you I appreciate that my time spent wrighting this was appreciated. I get very excited about new technology and after I ordered my Nexus One I was searching for an article like mine that I could read. When I found that no such thing existed I vowed to make one of my own so that others could rest easy knowing that it is fast and easy to get a Nexus One, as well as some tips for efficient delivery. Forgive my ignorance but what/who is OP? |
