turbanator Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Usually warranties only relate to products that have a hardware or software malfunction through basic use. With water damage sometimes you can get away with it and just play dumb (claim it stopped working and not know why) but in MOST phones there's a little strip on the inside that changes colors when it gets wet. If it gets sent to the manufacturer and they discover it's water damage then you're usually out of luck. Regardless, never hurts to try. As for Virgin, yes it will work on Virgin as long as you upgrade your account to the HSPA network (uses sim cards). I believe Virgin has the old CDMA network in place (no sims), but you can usually swap that over really easily (may have a $10-20 fee though + have to buy the sim card).

RiCHC3 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Thanks alot for the reply. There is a strip on my battery, it just turned pink. Ill try for sure to get a replacement phone or battery at the very least as soon as I go back home. So How would that switch occur? How would I know if the Iphone I buy isn't for the new network? I hope it isn't a difficult switch or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntown01 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Waiting on Wind (WoW) myself, but for different reasons. I hate how they're on a different spectrum for a network, on top of that their network coverage is still pretty weak. Have you seen the maps so far? http://www.coveragemapper.com/map.php?mccmnc=302490 Click "Show Legend" and zoom into the lower mainland. This is all user-uploaded data so it's not complete yet, but it shows quite a few areas of choppy signals. I'm also surprised you don't just snag a T-Mobile unlocked Android device off ebay. Anyways, when you make the swap gives us a heads up on how it is. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbanator Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 There may be an internal strip as well beyond the battery, to a point where you'd have to remove some screws to see it (removing screws = voids warranty). It really all depends on the phone. Switch from CDMA to HSPA? I'd say just drop by a Virgin location, tell them your intentions, they'll charge you for a SIM card and MAY have a fee to transfer between networks. The process should take 10 mins or so, but once you have it done you just plug the sim into a compatible phone and you're set. For future reference, sim cards store all your contacts information in them and are unique to your account. Meaning all the phone numbers are saved to it so when you insert the card into another phone all the contacts get downloaded to the phone + your phone number "moves" to that phone. Long story short, less hassle. As for the iPhone, simply make sure the phone is unlocked. All iPhones are compatible with all networks in Canada except Wind / Public Mobile / Moblicity.

dragon Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Anyone know if it's possible to have two sim cards with the same account? I have a data plan with my phone but I also would like to put the sim card in my wireless modem to use with laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastern Canuck Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I've had the HTC Legend since it came out in Canada and I looooooove it. The solid Aluminium case is great, very fluid and easy to use interface and everything I need is right there as soon as I unlock it. I personally think the Android system is a lot nicer than apple's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 May want to hold out a bit. I heard there's some sort of weird stalls on the device so hang tight for some reviews just in case. I'll admit, I hate android and I hate Samsung, but it's hard to argue those specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
