Later, we got a smaller brick which sold better. Customers could go with Bell Cellular (they wisely changed all those L sounds to Bell Mobility later on) and another provider -- I can't remember which one because we never sold anything for them (Bell's map had better coverage). Wonder how many of those bricks or big box phones are still out there? Ed AC:
