New Nexus One ROM leaks, fixes more radio issues?
Remember that hand-waving trick that got a Nexus One to give up the 3G ghost way, way too easily? Well, we don't want to pop the champagne just yet, but there's a new non-over-the-air firmware update floating around that includes yet another radio bump among its sundry features, suggesting HTC isn't quite done yet tuning this thing to get proper HSPA without freaking out from time to time. Whatever this update is, it may never see the official light of day in its current form -- it includes Google Maps 3.4, for one thing, while Google's already gone ahead and upped the ante to 4.0 for Buzz support -- but at least it seems engineers aren't done trying to make this thing work properly.

Canada’s WIND Mobile making a play for more cash to expand
There's a good deal of excitement about the value that Canada's WIND Mobile is bringing to the table -- that's the luxury of being the scrappy startup with new spectrum in a market dominated by the Old Guard -- but the big problem, of course, is that WIND's native footprint currently covers just Toronto and Calgary. The carrier's backed by Orascom on the strength of a $700 million loan that it says still gives it "ample runway" with upcoming launches in Ottawa, Edmonton, and Vancouver, but to really go big, it's looking to raise some capital from banks right now to grow its network and "develop partnerships" that enable it to reduce or eliminate an estimated $200 to $300 million deficit over the next four years
