However, when you're somewhere within the city that is "Wind Away" aka places that have rough cell reception in the first place, Wind can get EXPENSIVE! I had problems getting coverage inside the Saddledome, some malls,rec centre's (Westside Rec Centre) costcos, superstores etc.

What handset did you use? I think a lot of issues with reception have to do with the antenna on the handset.
I agree that outside Calgary it's touch and go for signal. I've had roaming signal only at Cross Iron, but two bars at the Lowe's past CIM.
I work at the Foothills complex, and have signal in places others don't, but my wife gets signal in places I don't.
It's definitely not for everyone, but they are getting better. The website has a network builder where you can tell them about signal problems. Whether they do anything about it is another matter...
