The fine print is a bit vague.

A couple things, are only phones purchased from Fido "Fido certified"? What does "Fido certified" mean?

And does this mean "non-Fido certified handsets, non-Fido certified Windows Mobile devices and non-Fido certified PC cards are not eligible"
or does it mean "non-Fido certified handsets, any Windows Mobile devices and any PC cards are not eligible" ?

There seems to be a grey area, but not one I would be willing to risk thousands of dollars in bandwidth fees to find out what the real meaning might be. But maybe this is legalese they can pull out to cover their behinds in the event a network upgrade disables a phone, or someone uses a phone to hack wi-fi.
