Wind Mobile lands second retail distribution deal, the Apple iPhone 4 is confirmed to come to Canada on July 30th, and Telus is set to launch Android-powered Motorola i1 this autumn.

Value Mobile, which has four retail outlets within the greater Toronto area (GTA) has become the second retailer outlet to sell Wind Mobile phones in Canada.

Wind Mobile's first retail partner was Blockbuster, which has been selling WIND Mobile phones through its stores since the brand launched last December. In addition to these two retail relationships, WIND Mobile phones and plans are sold through the carrier's own branded stores.

Value Mobile's locations and business proposition is to target "newcomers" to Canada, and those who might not have a credit card, or are otherwise not able to sign a contract.
