Some documents detailing Rogers’ pricing changes as of October 1st. have floated up, primarily involving the BlackBerry Bold getting a $100 price cut down to $299.99 on a three-year contract. The BlackBerry Pearl line (both GPS and Wi-Fi models) is getting a $50 cut down to $49.99 on contract, the Samsung Jack is having its price cut in half to $24.99, and the HTC Touch will be getting knocked down from $99.99 to $39.99. Combined with the new BlackBerry plans due to also be launching on October 1st., it sounds like Rogers is bringing their A-game for the holiday season – now we just gotta see how Telus and Bell will respond.
