Anyone know what rogers policy is on upgrading a blackberry to an iPhone? I’ve had a curve for a year – nothing wrong with it but would like to swap out for an iphone.

Guys, this is NOT true.

1) It does not fit Rogers’ tech requirements.

2) The “confirmation” is based on a call to a low level customer service rep who had no clue what she was talking about.

Check BGR’s post. He’s right. Also, he linked to you and not BlackBerry Cool. I think the blogosphere is a little peeved because this “confirmation” is seen as link baiting.

Too bad, cause I want the Storm in Canada like, now.

I herd they “have a contractual agreement with Apple not to support the RIM device with a touch screen.”

Wow, sounds about right, though. It took them ages to get the 8820 out. It’s good that they’re turning a leaf though – they seem alright with the Bold, the Pearl Flip will also have Wi-Fi in it, and the new data plans are bordering on reasonable.

You should know that until recently, Rogers refused to sell any phone that had wifi as it cut into any prospective sale of their expensive air time. In fact rumour has it that Rogers is dissatisfied with the iphone as the data usage is far less then they had anticipated. If other Rogers customers are like me, they are frightened to use the device away from wifi due to fear of getting nailed by Rogers airtime costs. I would almost hazard a guess that Rogers requested the phone not have wifi.
