Rogers launched the LG Neon two weeks ago and now Fido has done the same.
The Neon allows you to keep in touch through SMS, MMS, and instant messaging (WLM or Y!M). A 2.0 MP is on the back side of the touch screen, which can only be used for dialing. Bluetooth, a built in MP3 player, and FM radio round out this QWERTY phone.
Fido pricing for the LG Neon:
$50-2 year
$175-no contract
Buy online or at any Fido retail store.

As we report here and here Fido, Rogers’ discount brand, has launched the Samsung F266. The slider features a 2MP camera, MP3 player, FM radio and Bluetooth. The Samsung F266 retails for $25 (2 year term), or $150 (month to month, prepaid, or purchased outright).
Head over to the Fido website or your nearest retail location to get your Samsung f266.

A leaked document post on HowardForums by “Tomo-Pyon” shows four new phones coming to the discount carrier including launch pricing and approximate dates.
Not quite sure how legitimate the document is due to the spelling error at the top “Launchs” not “Launches”. I guess time will tell, maybe Fido just needs to hire some proof-readers.

Fido, a division of Rogers Wireless, has launched BlackBerry plans for personal usage. No BlackBerry 8100 Pearl yet-but should be around the corner. Check out the images below for plan details.

It appears the Samsung t336 is stepping aside to make room for the Samsung f266. Pictured on the Samsung Canada website with Fido branding I think it is safe to say this is not a rumor but a confirmation. Check out the picture below and follow the link to see the f266 on the Samsung website.
The Samsung Canada website says the following about the f266:
Sleek and skinny from the outside—and jam packed on the inside! From music to movie clips, the SAMSUNG f266 lets you do it all. Store up to 8 GB of your fave songs with expandable memory and play it all back on the built-in MP3 player. Take photos and video with the 2.0 megapixel camera and Bluetooth® lets you almost-instantly share clips with friends. You’re always in the loop with the f266.
No word yet on pricing or launch date.

As has been rumored before-the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 is making its way to Rogers’ discount brand Fido. HowardForums member “WorldIRC” has revealed launch date is February 4, 2009! Data training for Fido reps started last week and according to reps in attendance BIS pricing will be similar (if not the same of Rogers) but no BES will be offered. Pricing for the 8100, according to HowardForums member “WorldIRC” is as follows:
month to month-$400
2 year term-$350
3 year term (with data)-$25

The new Fido has discontinued three mobile devices-effective immediately.
Sony Ericsson z310a
Sony Ericsson w300i (white)
Samsung Jack (red)
Guess that explains why the Rogers advertisement I received had the Merlot Samsung Jack listed as an exclusive.
