All three major Canadian carriers have confirmed with me that they will be offering the BlackBerry Torch 9800 which was announced today on AT&T. No details on pricing or specific dates, but Rogers says it’ll be here in “the coming weeks”, while Telus will only say it’ll be here sometime this year, and Bell was…
Rev your wallets fanboys, tomorrow the iPhone 4 launches in Canada, and Rogers is ready to take you under its wing for three years. For starters, Rogers has some special hardware upgrade options for those who have been customers since before the June 7 announcement of the iPhone 4; they can get $250 off the…
The Rogers Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 has a new sibling. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini has arrived at Rogers for all to see. The mini, which packs Android 1.6 (for now, a rumored upgrade to 2.1 is supposedly coming in Q4), a 2.6″ QVGA touchscreen display (240×320), WiFi, GPS, 5 megapixel camera with LED…
The BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 (Kepler) is coming to Rogers. I bet you were wondering when news of this was going to hit, right? Before we talk about it, let’s recap recent goings on. Just yesterday, we told you about the 9300 and how it is making the journey to Bell. A leaked leaflet shows…
If you’re looking for an Android device, and live north-of-the-border (yes, Canadians I’m talking to you), Rogers has lowered the price on some very powerful Android-powered handsets… and more.

The BlackBerry 9800, aka BlackBerry Talladega, aka BlackBerry Torch, has been all the buzz on the Berry scene over the past few months. However, I found it odd that I hadn’t heard much about RIM’s first-ever vertical slider as of late. In fact, just the other day I woke up wondering what the latest and…
No doubt some fellow Canadians have been glaring lustily south of the border at AT&T’s iPhone 4, but don’t worry, it’s coming to Canada soon. At the WWDC launch, Steve Jobs promised the Canadian market would be ready in July. Accordingly, this shot shows that Rogers’ internal web training for sales reps now includes options…
We knew it was coming, and here it is. Rogers has just launched the bada OS powered Samsung Wave (S8500) on their network. The Wave is the first smartphone in the country to run bada, Samsung’s very own operating system. While reviews and rumblings on bada have been mediocre at best, I’m looking forward to…
Not surprisingly, the 8GB iPhone 3GS is now available on Rogers. I say ‘not surprisingly’, because the same device launched on Rogers’ discount carrier, Fido, earlier this week. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that Rogers dumped the first batch of 8GB 3GS’ off at Fido for clearance… only to follow things up…
Received a little note from one of our friends at Rogers not so long ago. The note detailed a new deal that Canada’s big red and Canucks Sports and Entertainment had reached.
