WIND MOBILE SHARES THE LOVE IN FEBRUARY WITH A SUITE OF NEW SMARTPHONES AND THE BEST PLANS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR FEATURES
Highly-anticipated Galaxy Nexus by Samsung, BlackBerry Bold 9790, and BlackBerry Curve 9360 in white come to WIND
TORONTO, ON – February 1, 2012 – On Friday, February 3rd, three of the most highly-coveted smartphones will be available at WIND Mobile: the Galaxy Nexus, the world’s first smartphone powered by Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich; the BlackBerry Bold 9790, the lightweight, touchscreen + QWERTY addition to the BlackBerry 7 lineup; and the BlackBerry Curve 9360, now available in white as well as in black.
“Our customers are always on the lookout for the newest technology and we’re proud to add these state-of-the-art smartphones to our offering and pair them with plans that allow customers to make the most of all their features,” said Anthony Lacavera, Chairman and CEO of WIND Mobile.
As the first smartphone to feature a 4.65’’ display with a market-leading resolution of 720p, the Galaxy Nexus ensures superior clarity for entertainment capabilities, fast web browsing, and high-definition gaming and video streaming with its 1.2GHz dual core processor. The Ice Cream Sandwich operating system introduces innovations such as Face Unlock which uses facial recognition to unlock the device. Other innovations include NFC technology with Android Beam which allows for the rapid sharing of web pages, apps, and online videos by simply tapping two devices together.
With a super-slim form factor and superior battery life, the BlackBerry Bold 9790 delivers non-stop BlackBerry 7 OS power in a barely-there design. Featuring a 1 GHz processor, 768 MB RAM and 8 GB of onboard memory, this new BlackBerry lets users take care of business faster than ever before.
WIND customers can take full advantage of everything the Galaxy Nexus and the Bold 9790 have to offer with a new Leap Plan featuring unlimited Canada-wide talk, text and data for $40 per month. The Galaxy Nexus will be available for $249 with WINDtab+ or $599 outright while the BlackBerry Bold 9790 is available for $49 with WINDtab+ or $399 outright.
