You had the MotoX right?
I can't believe you were still using a Galaxy Nexus. The last time I turned mine on I was shocked by how terrible the screen/battery life/phone in general were and that was like a year ago.
The Canadian contracts are two years now, so if you've got two years into your three year contract you're free to break it. Once I'm ready to buy a new phone I'm bailing on Rogers and heading to Wind. Rogers recently decided that my deal was "too good" and that it "expired", thus doubling my monthly fees.
I wish Wind would expand to more cities. The seem to be the only carrier in Canada that isn't hell bent on fucking its customers in the ass with outrageous data fees. I'm in Kelowna, and would ditch bell for them in a fucking heartbeat.
I went from an original Samsung Galaxy S to a Oneplus One. It was like going from my old Tandy 1000 TX to a brand new computer with an SSD. Feels good man.
Yea, Wind has this whole chicken and the egg issue, where they require a huge amount of capital to compete against the big carriers and expand but it's hard to justify investing in them unless people are flocking to them. If they had lifted the foreign investment rules right as they were starting out I'm sure Wind would be covering most of the country by now, but the government dropped the ball and now no one wants to invest into them despite it being lifted. Everyone I know who has Wind thinks they're solid, and you can't beat the prices.
I travel up in Ontario a good bit and I'm always surprised how bad Rogers fucks customers with home and wireless internet.
I went from a refurb iPhone 3G, not even a 3GS, to an LG G2. Things are better now.
What's the draw of Project Fi? Looks to be substantially more expensive than T-Mobile's $30/month plan. Unless you use less than 1GB of data, I suppose.
