Further to Ken's post, this week, many of you saw that industry analysts were abuzz with their views on WIND Mobile’s progress. The Power of Conversation is all about listening to all sides and engaging on all fronts. Constructive feedback comes with the territory. Earlier in the week, I discussed some of our challenges and successes on CBC TV. Have a look around the 43 minute mark!

Hey Johnn, I hope you already have your answer, as I've been trying to blog and post over the last couple of days! But the answer is yes, I will of course be continuing to post my thoughts on Canada's wireless world. Thanks for reading! Tony

Wow, lots of great comments in this thread. I was interested to gauge your opinions on the matter, and certainly your opinions are coming through loud and clear! Hopefully if I ask the same question a year from now - your answer will be different. Cheers, Tony

Thanks Nadim, your comments were always an important part of the Soapbox community - so I hope you'll continue to post here too, and thank you for always retreating my Tweets! Cheers, Tony

Thanks, Toronto Wireless. Customer service is based on conversations. Thanks for continuing the convo. Cheers, Tony

Thanks Ken. As I said upon the release of the CWTA’s Code of Conduct, I believe that the content of the code is a great step to bring some transparency and some clarity to what is really a very confusing product purchasing experience and product experience for consumers. For those who are interested, the full text of the Code is available here: http://www.cwta.ca/CWTASite/english/industry_downloads/Code_of_Conduct.pdf As Ken noted above WIND’s goal is to actually exceed the requirements outlined in the Code. To do so, however, we’re going to need your advice and input. So here’s my question – to anyone who has ...

Thanks beniamino! Nice to know how committed you are to wireless competition! Cheers, Tony

Thanks everyone for reading and commenting! Your support over the last week meant a lot to me and the entire Wind team! We'll keep you all posted with our plans as we can. Let's keep up the dialogue in the meantime. Cheers, Tony

Thank you! These comments mean a lot to the entire team. Cheers, Tony

Interesting site Gil. I did a blog about a cellphone cost calculator awhile ago, it has some of my thoughts on the matter: http://www.windmobile.ca/WIND-news/detail/cost-calculator-answer/ Cheers, Tony

tonysingh, Nice to see enthusiasm as always - but remember leaks are NOT official, full details will be available when we launch. Cheers, Tony

Lots of excitement in this thread, check out Chris's post on major milestones we've recently hit. http://www.windmobile.ca/WIND-news/detail/leaked-phones-and-major-milestones/ Best, Tony

Kar88 and cellphoneSTAR, Sorry we did not meet your expectations and thank you Aileen for helping out. I hope we were able to rectify the situation. Best, Tony

Thanks beniamino, Check out Chris's post as Eryn said - we're unable to discuss our plans at this point - but Chris lays out a lot of the things that we're committed to offering in a general basis. Its nice to see your excitement however. Cheers, Tony

Thanks for all of your support everyone. We will keep you up to date on the CRTC hearings as soon as we can. Cheers, Tony

Hey Everyone, I'm not going to comment on what Rogers is or isn't doing... but I'll try and reiterate what WIND is going to do. Our values are: Dialogue. Simplicity. Control. And Value. Our launch will strive to fulfill these goals. Best, Tony

ArtD, Thanks for coming out! Glad you liked the talk. I try and comment on here when I can, and my persona will of course be a big part of WIND. I'm not sure if there's a video, but we should definitely look into it. Best, Tony

Codeman! Nice site buddy. Looks like some of your plans are reasonable! Hope you did well on your presentation and my apologies for the delay in responding. I always love hearing from the community - and its great to see such enthusiasm! Cheers, Tony

mccans, Ha ha! Great sense of humour. Hopefully I won't be using a Rogers phone for very long. Tony

Thanks mccans!

mccans, *blade*, I feel like you both have been with us since the beginning! I've been a bit busy, so haven't had a lot of time to blog and post. I'm trying to catch-up! Thanks for the offer. Cheers, Tony

MIDs are a very cool technology. We're working on some big bang items for our launch, so hopefully they'll excite you too. Cheers, Tony

Thanks everyone :) Keep your comments and support coming!

Great update Chris and thanks to everyone for all your patience and support!

Thanks RimNat. I appreciate the support :)

Thanks for the kudos guys! I've already been hearing that our WIND teams have been spotted out on the street doing good and I'm pumped to hear that they're being so well received. Go team!

Loving all the ideas and support! Thanks guys!

LOL. I love the enthusiasm. Keep it coming!

Thanks to everyone for your comments. I'm really glad to get a direct sense of what you're thinking. We're taking in this feedback and we'll do our best to respond as soon as possible. Wishing you all happy holidays. Tony
