Canada: TELUS and Rogers preparing to start selling iPads
TELUS and Rogers have both announced plans to sell the 4th gen iPad and iPad mini. As expected, they’ll be selling models with both Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, offering them with their tablet plans. No subsidies will be included and you’ll rather pay the full price of Apple’s tablet and then use it with a plan that works for you. The good thing here is that you are free to stop paying whenever you want; the bad thing is – you’ll have to pay the full price of the iPad … Read more

Canada’s Rogers Wireless unveils new roaming package for travel to the U.S. – $7.99 gives you 50MB
Canadian mobile operator Rogers Wireless unveiled a new package for folks frequently travelling to the United States. For just $7.99 they can get 50MB of data, which according to the carrier is “nearly twice the data a Rogers wireless customer would typically use per day while in Canada.” We’re not sure about that, but I guess if you limit your mobile Internet time to email and occasional cyber-schmoozing on Facebook, you’re good to go. In comparison, Rogers’ major rivals offer much worse deals: TELUS gives you 25 or 100 MB … Read more

Rogers’ LTE Max network can sing along two high-frequency bands, offers faster download speeds
Rogers is in the midst of rebranding parts of its high-speed network to LTE Max to highlight the fact that it runs across two high-frequency bands, AWS (1700/2100Mhz) and 2600Mhz. The idea here is to convey the message that Rogers is different from other Canadian carriers and that its network is fastest out there, providing theoretical download speeds of up to 150 Mbps. However, there are just 3 handsets that support LTE on 2600MHz, including the LG Optimus G, Samsung Galaxy S4 and BlackBerry Q10, with Sammy’s baby being the … Read more

Canada’s Rogers offers a $35 Google Play Gift Card with Galaxy S4 pre-orders
To spice-up pre-orders of the Galaxy S4, Canada’s Rogers is offering a $35 Google Play Gift Card to anyone who pre-orders Sammy’s super-phone. The device itself will be available on April 27th, though Rogers stores will get it few days after that, on May 3rd. The legal fine print says that this works for both new and existing customers as long as they activate between April 26th and June 30th. As for the price, Rogers is selling the Galaxy S4 for $199.99 with a way-too-long three-year contract. In comparison, TELUS … Read more

Soon after the US launch, HTC will start selling its how-new HTC One in Canada, with TELUS and Rogers committing to offer what many consider the most desirable smartphone ever made. Both carriers will launch the One on April 19th and I guess pre-orders will start any day now. Rogers Wireless said it will offer HTC’s baby with 32GB of built-in storage for $149.99 on a way-too-long three-year contract and we assume TELUS’ price will be the same. Again, the HTC One packs a 4.7-inch full HD screen, super-fancy camera … Read more
