Koodo Mobile? Fat-free Mobility?

Noticed recently there is a new wireless network appeared in many major shopping centers in Canada. The name of the company is called Koodo Mobile. It has a funny name and its brochures look even funnier. They feature models dress in gym suits that make them look like they are in the 80’s.

Are They Going To Exist After A Few Years?

They do have a silly name and funny brochures, but they are serious about their offerings. Their monthly plans don’t require you to sign a contract at all. If you are willing to buy out the phones (only 3 models as of now), you can have their monthly combo deals or make your own combo of features. Their plans start as low as $15. I like their $65 combo, which gives you unlimited incoming calls, 1000 weekday minutes, unlimited evenings and weekends (starts at 7pm). The most amazing thing is they don’t make you pay the system access fee. That is a first in Canada and their plans beat all other major wireless networks. I believe they are going to be in there for a while.

Is It Going To Take Over The Wireless Industry In Canada?

They will cause a storm in the wireless industry. What they are doing now is going to change the wireless service in Canada. Their approach is a first and most consumers are waiting for a flexible service like that. The only downside is that they use CDMA instead of GSM and are piggybacking on the Telus network. If they started by offering their own network with GSM, they would take over the whole industry by storm.

Nokia N95 Internal GPS Works

Personally, I am not a big fan of Nokia cell phones. However, the past few days I was busy playing with a dozen or more Nokia N95s. Why? Because I am able to provide a service everyone wants, and everyone started to approach me for such service. This ties into one of the biggest business concept ever: offer a service or product that is unique and it will generate a buzz by itself. I am not going to talk about business concepts in this post. I am going off-topic and talk about phones.

If you’re a Nokia N95 user, you should know that the integrated navigation system is not the best. It does show you maps and tell you where you are but in order to use its full features like voice turn by turn, you have to pay. It costs around $10 for 7 days of use. If you do the math, why not just buy a standalone GPS?! As a result, many people are looking for alternative GPS solutions for their Nokia N95s.

About 4 days ago, one of my friends asked me to help him out with his N95 GPS. He wants to use the GPS but not willing to pay for subscription. I told him I would try and brought it home. After a few hours of research and downloading, I made it work. I installed a special copy of Route 66 navigation software and able to use the N95’s internal GPS receiver. My friend was very happy and he began to spread the news. The next day, other friends using the Nokia N95 started calling me.

I am not going to post any links or guides here because of legal issues. However, if you want to use your N95 GPS for free and having problems, feel free to discuss with me.

Update On Build A Niche Store (BANS) Project

It was been a week since I’ve written about my Build A Niche Store (BANS) project. Boy! It was a though time getting the script installed. It wasn’t the script’s fault though. After days of solution hunting I’ve got through it and finally got something to show. You can view the project site at CellPhoneJet.com, feel free to add any comment or suggestion.

Main page of CellPhoneJet.com, my Build A Niche Store project featuring the coolest cell phone auctions.

After 2 days of customizing the layout and pages, it now looks like a full functional website. However, it still needs some search engine optimizing and original content creating. My schedule for this week is to finish building the website and by next week I can start driving traffic to it. The funny thing is that I have notice Googlebot had already visit the site and received 4 unique hits even though I had never setup a link to it. I’ve already started to brainstorm my next niche store in order to reach my 5 stores in 3 months goal.

Also, I’ve noticed there is an online course on blogging for profit called Blog Mastermind. Read about it in Chris Bloczynski’s blog. I wonder if there will be a university degree in the future called “Blogging” in the faculty of Business.
