Remember that post from a few days ago, mentioning that Best Buy Canada would launch the BlackBerry Bold 9780 on November 9th? Well, the 9th is here, and indeed, it’s looking like the 9780 is on its way off the shelves for Canadian consumers. As expected, Rogers has made the Bold 9780 available, and you…
Today is the big day that Windows Phone 7 is launching here in the US and in Canada. A bevy of handsets will debut on 5 carriers including all three major carriers in Canada (Bell, Telus, and Rogers) and on AT&T and T-Mobile here in the states. The handsets that will be available starting today…
A whole whackload of Rogers info leaked today, including pricing on upcoming devices like the BlackBerry Bold 9780, Nokia N8, Samsung Focus, and Dell Streak, along with some new data sharing plans particularly applicable to the Samsung Galaxy Tab. There are a lot of slides, but here’s the short version: BlackBerry Bold 9780: $149.99 on…
Over the last month or so, we’ve been picking up a lot of release and pricing rumors on the BlackBerry Bold 9780. Everyone from Rogers to T-Mobile to Vodafone seem to have their hands on the 9780 in some capacity, and the list of carriers and retailers offering the device continues to grow. Case in…
I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not much of a Sony Ericsson booster. That said, one of my first real mobile phones was a Sony Ericsson candybar, so I have to give them credit every once and awhile for a new launch. With that in mind, Sony Ericsson has just launched the Vivaz Pro…

Dummies and posters have been coming into Rogers stores all over the place, leading us to think the refreshed Bold will be on sale as soon as next week…
Although Rogers nor Palm have said anything on the record about offering the recently-announced Pre 2 (even in light of some poorly-spelled comment code within a Palm site), some shots of the phone’s retail box and the device itself running on Rogers pretty much seals the deal. Attached with the fresh pictures is a highly-tentative…
After about three months of waiting after the announcement, Rogers has finally started shipping the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate to retail locations. Apparently the delay was due to a shortage of Super AMOLED displays on Samsung’s end, but ain’t that always the story? The Captivate is still available for preorder online for $149.99 (on a…
You know what sucks even more than having to sign a three-year service contract to get a reasonably-priced phone? Waiting two and a half years before you can get another one. A leaked document from Rogers shows that as of today, it takes 30 months of service before you’re eligible for a hardware upgrade, which…
Verizon was the only explicitly-named carrier partner for the launch of the Palm Pre 2 yesterday, but some digging around source code for U.S. and Canadian Palm sites, references to both AT&T and Rogers have been found. Funnily enough, the commented-out code says “The Palm Pre2 phone is available on the Rodger’s network,” so you…
