I’ve been wanting to try WIND Mobile for a while now, but my phone (Nexus One) didn’t support the frequency bands used by the new carriers. But recently I replaced it with a Galaxy Nexus, which supports the frequencies of all the Canadian carriers.

The personal website of Clayton Smith. Making the Raspberry Pi a little less British. After a month and a half of obsessively checking for status updates, I finally received my Raspberry Pi.
