Rogers And CIBC Have Invested Up To $60 Million Into Suretap

NerdoKimbo — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 01:45:20 +0000

Back in November, Rogers and CIBC joined together to launch Suretap, the mobile payment system. They claim to be Canada’s first mobile payment system. Currently, both the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and BlackBerry Z10 are capable of using this technology with more in the future.

But the road to being first in technology cost them a lot of money. A few days ago, an NFC Conference was held in Toronto. A panel at the conference called “NFC in the Canadian Market” went into more detail about suretap and about the cost to launch it.

Todd Roberts who represented CIBC said “The practical reality is we are very pleased with the response. You have to put it into context of it’s a single device that’s clients are actually using… In terms of numbers, we’re talking in the thousands, not in the tens of hundreds of thousands.”

He continued:

“we had to make a huge bet as to whether or not we are even going to bother to enable NFC payments, let alone be the first to market it. So, think $20 to $30 million is what the nature of the bet is. We entered into discussions with Rogers, call it 2-years ago. They had to make a similar bet to decide if they are actually going to deploy that level of technology in their environment. We’re close friends with TELUS as well, like we’re all going to have multiple friends as we go through this. The reality is when you work it back you have to have both sides of the equation prepared to co-invest, without a business case. There is no business case in the short term. All that can be certain is how much it costs.”

Roberts also confirmed that $60 million is what it cost to get suretap launched and ready to go.

Rogers said in a press release about the number of users who use suretap “tens of thousands of suretap SIM cards are in market and hundreds of thousands of suretap mobile payment-ready devices are being used by Canadians.” No definitive numbers yet, would be nice to know exactly how many people are using suretap.

So was it a worthwhile investment? I think that $50 is kind of low but I guess you do have to start somewhere. Some users may not think it’s a secure transaction and may be reluctant to try it out. Not to mention, there are a lot of places that don’t yet accept suretap.

UK Owners Of BlackBerry Bold 9900 Can Get An Upgrade To The BlackBerry Z10 Through EE

NerdoKimbo — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 02:26:39 +0000

If you are already with T-Mobile UK or Orange, you can take advantage of this offer. There is a catch though, you must have signed onto the contract within the last 6 months. This is a good offer because you won’t be charged for changing the contract, no termination fees. The only thing you will have to pay is the phone contract cost.

Initially when you go to the EE website, the Z10 isn’t shown as part of the promotions. But you can find it listed in the terms and conditions:

This offer is available to current T-Mobile and Orange customers only. The offer is available in our retail stores only and will end on 30 April 2013.

The offer allows you to swap your old 3G phone for a new 4G one, and upgrade your plan to a superfast 4GEE phone plan. To redeem this offer, please note that:

i. You need to be on an existing T-Mobile or Orange plan – whether that’s a new plan or an upgrade/renewal from a previous plan and including plans which were taken out from one of our indirect partners such as the Carphone Warehouse; ii. You can upgrade to 4GEE at any time during your contract with Orange or T-Mobile and there are no charges for terminating your current contract (subject to our 14 day returns policy). iii. You will have to enter into a new minimum term on EE; iv. You can only sign up to a new minimum term on EE which is the same length or longer than your current minimum term on T-Mobile or Orange; v. You can only sign up to a consumer plan on EE with a monthly cost (excluding any out of allowances costs for calls, texts or data) that is the same monthly cost or higher than your current plan on T-Mobile or Orange; vi. You will have to pay any applicable upfront handset cost as part of your new plan on EE; and vii. It will take up to one business day to transfer your old number to your new EE phone.

Your current phone and plan can’t have been purchased in the last 14 days of the date you want to swap to EE as part of this offer.

Swapping your current handset You can only swap to 4GEE from consumer plans on T-Mobile or Orange if you have the iPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy SIII, HTC One X or Blackberry 9900. You can swap to eligible 4G phones which can be found on our website. (Please note, as part of the swap to EE, you will be required to pay the upfront handset cost as part of your new plan on EE).
Condition of your current handset You will need to give us back your old T-Mobile or Orange handset. The handset must be in perfect, working condition and be capable of being switched on. We will not accept handsets that do not turn on or are damaged; that have cracked or scratched screens; or that have cracks to the device casing. Our retail staff will decide whether to accept your phone based on its condition and their decision is final. You should back up all contacts and data from your old phone before giving it to us.

4G Coverage  We have limited 4G coverage in the UK. You can only use mobile internet on our 4G network if you’re within a 4G enabled area and in range of a 4G mast. 4G is only available in select cities in the UK. Your 4G phone may not be compatible with other 4G networks outside the UK. If you don’t have 4G coverage, your phone will drop back to our 3G network if you’re in a 3G covered area. You should check your personal 4G coverage before you move to EE at www.ee.co.uk/coverage.

Returns policy regarding your new EE plan Your new plan purchase on EE is subject to our returns policy which you can find at www.ee.co.uk/terms. If you return your phone within 14 days of purchase in accordance with our returns policy, we will give you back a phone that is the same model as your old one and in the same condition.

Powermat Wireless Charging Mod for the BlackBerry Bold 9900

@sleepy2009 — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 02:43:13 +0000

I am addicted to technology and mods to said technology, so we just received this video below I knew we had to post it! The video shows off a custom modification to a Powermat wireless charging battery door for a BlackBerry Curve to a BlackBerry Bold 9900. Now there is not a wireless charging adapter that we have seen the works as well as Powermat. With that said taking a Powermat battery door for the Curve and converting it to be used with the Bold 9900 is GENIUS and NERDY all at the same time. Now we recommend that you use a small gauge shielded wire so you do not get a shock or run the risk of having the two wires come in contact with each other. Hit the break for the video on how to modify the Powermat for the BlackBerry Curve to fit the BlackBerry Bold 9900.
