I am hoping Telus/Bell will use the UIM card that KDDI in Japan uses.
For the people who don't know what the UIM card does: http://www.3gnewsroom.com/3g_news/ap...ews_6896.shtml
I don't know what to really think of this. I have never been a fan of GSM technology, I find it slower and it seems Telus/Bell networks never get that "the network is busy please try again" message that my friends get with Rogers.It should be interesting to see what happens in the next week.

Actually Rogers can control that as well.
You know how their ads say "Canada's most reliable network"? That is technically true because they have the fewest dropped calls.
The reasoning behind that is as I am sure you know, towers have a certain capacity for the number of calls going through them. Rogers has chosen to cap that so that every single call on the tower is guaranteed to go through.
Bell and Telus don't have that cap, so their towers will TRY to put every call through, but some may drop. Bell and Telus can continue with that with the new towers as well; depends if they want to get into a pissing contest with Rogers over that claim or not however.
