While Public Mobile has only confirmed a first half 2010 launch, the near completeness of its first stores suggests that we are nearing the launch date. Now, MobileSyrup.com has received a tip that the official launch could take place on May 15th with a soft launch next week on March 15th.
Public Mobile could also offer free Canadian long distance for life (with an account in good standing) to all customers who buy a device and plan prior to the May 15th launch.
To date, Public Mobile has revealed that it will offer a CA$40 per month unlimited talk and text plan and the ZTE C78 candybar feature phone with basic functionality such as a 2-inch display, stereo Bluetooth, and VGA camera. Hopefully more devices will be available at launch.
