Mich, A quick Google search for “Amazon Echo on BestBuy.ca” gave me a link to the “Amazon Echo Store” on the canadian Best Buy site<https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/echo-store.aspx?icmp=echo-pdp-bar> where you apparently can also preorder any of the 3 Echo speakers for the introductory price. I would still order from Amazon directly, though, it’s their product and they offer a great return policy so why not get it from them.

From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2017 11:50 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Amazon Echo devices Hi, As Alexa is going to finally make it to Canada on December 5, Amazon.ca now has the Echo Dot, Echo and Echo Plus for sale at a special preorder price. Could some of you from the States or other countries where Alexa has been available explain a bit why I might want to own at least one Echo Plus which it is said has a built-in smart home hub? Or do I even want one of these? How is the sound on the Echo Dot, I understand it is meant to be connected to other speakers or maybe even a receiver, but there is also mention that it has a small built-in speaker, is that pretty OK for say listening to Podcasts or an Audible book? I am still potentially looking at buying a sonos 1 as well, but for some reason I thought the Echo speakers were more expensive so especially the echo Dot at an introductory price of $49.99 Canadian (regularly $69.99 after the introductory special is over) might be a good choice. The regular Echo is on for $99.99 (regular price will be $129.99 and the Echo Plus is on for $169.99 (regular $199.99). I like the fact that all speakers apparently have a 3.5mm output jack and also can send audio to a bluetooth headset. This might totally be the way how I might listen to Audible books, insjtead of having to use my iPhone with headset when I go to bed I could have an Echo Dot or Echo beside the bed and use it either with a wired or bluetooth headset. It also mentions any of the Echo speakers can do “Free audio calls to Canada, the US and Mexico”. Does this mean I can tell it to call a particular number just like I tell SIRI or can it even call a business just by saying call so and so company?
