As of today, phones should be available either online or in store for Rogers, Bell and Telus.<\/p>\n
Online, Rogers lists the Samsung Focus for $200 on a 3 year term ($600 with no term).<\/p>\n
Bell lists the LG Optimus Quantum<\/a> for $100 on a 3 year ($450 with no contract).<\/p>\n Telus lists both the HTC 7 Surround<\/a> and LG Optimus 7<\/a>.\u00a0 Prices are $100\/$450 for the Surround and $100\/$500 for the Optimus.<\/p>\n As usual, Rogers pricing is the worst and Telus has the best selection.\u00a0 I would be temped to upgrade to the LG Optimus Quantum since I prefer a hardware keyboard, but Windows Phone is missing too much of what I need.\u00a0 Most importantly Remote Desktop.\u00a0 Currently, nothing matches Windows Mobile for Remote Desktop support and I can’t see switching to Windows Phone until it does.<\/p>\n ComputerAbuser<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although launched almost a month ago in Europe and Australia, today marks the official launch of Windows Phone 7 in North America.<\/p>\n As of today, phones should be available either online or in store for Rogers, Bell and Telus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[36,30,9,33,34,35,32,31,10],"class_list":["post-839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","tag-bell","tag-cellular","tag-mobile","tag-remote-desktop","tag-rogers","tag-telus","tag-windows-mobile","tag-windows-phone","tag-wireless"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p11UM6-dx","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=839"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/839\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":845,"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/839\/revisions\/845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
