The Nokia 2720 should be available on SpeakOut Wireless this month, but for those who’d rather get it from another carrier, Fido is now also offering this Nokia entry level flip phone as well.
The Nokia 2720 is free on monthly plan with a 2-year Fido contract. It will, however, cost $70 if you’re not signing up for a Fido agreement, getting it outright or going on prepaid. Nonetheless, that’s still close to $30 savings as compared to what SpeakOut Wireless will be offering.
As a quick recap, the Nokia 2720 comes with 1.3-megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, Bleutooth, FM radio with RDS, and a 2.5mm jack. You can find out more about the Fido Nokia 2720 by heading on over here.

Glad to see cellphones.ca listing a 2-year price, even if it’s only because Fido didn’t publish a 3-year price. I’d like to see all Canadian wireless-industry blogs make a decision to stop publishing and quoting 3-year prices. Nowhere else in the world are 3-year contracts even allowed. Our neighbour, and closest point of comparison, only allows 2-year contracts. So let’s jointly decide to only publish 2-year contract prices (and of course, cash-purchase prices).
In Canada we have Rogers saying that it sells the iPhone for the same price as in the US. Of course, that’s a crock of cow-dung, since in order to get that ’same price’, you have to sign a contract that is 50% longer than in the US. Your total lifetime price for phone plus service is thus 50% higher than in the US. And by cellphones.ca quoting that 3-year price you are only helping to support the Rogers pricing deceit. Don’t publish 3-year prices!

i’m with you…the 3 year term is indebted servitude. however i don’t think showing a 3 year price necessarily suggests that we are “helping to support the Rogers pricing deceit”. while you and i may not personally agree with 3 year terms, many consumers are willing to sign such a contract in order to pay less for a phone upfront.
as such, our policy will be to try and present readers with all of the options and let them make a decision.
