Faze was there for a private interview with both Shatner and Rogers' head of marketing. The new Samsung phone will allow users to talk face to face with anyone using the same handset anywhere in Canada (on Rogers only).

Shatner, when asked when the most important advice he could give to our readers, said "I know now that education is the primary instrument of success." (Video/photos coming soon)
