Seems like Rogers has been busy over the last little while. They’ve just launched the Samsung Galaxy ‘Spica’ powered-by Android 1.5, and late last week they also launched the new Rogers ‘RedBoard’ to help them connect with customers. Now, it looks like a new iPhone navigation app from Canada’s ‘Big Red’ is on the way.…
Rogers Samsung Galaxy Spica Now Available, Shipping with Android 1.5
Well, it’s all official. The Rogers Samsung Galaxy ‘Spica’ is now available, with pricing starting at $79.99 on a 3-year contract. If you had your eye on the Spica and were hoping for Android 2.0 to ship with it… I unfortunately have to burst your bubble this morning. The device will indeed ship with Android,…
Samsung Gravity Coming to Fido March 16th?
Looks like Fido is now advertising the Samsung Gravity as ‘coming soon’. From all accounts I’ve read so far it looks like ‘coming soon’ (when translated) means March 16th. The details? Well, you’re going to be looking at a measly $25 on a 2-year contract. Keep in mind, official launch dates and pricing have not…
Android-Powered Motorola QUENCH Destined for Rogers?
You may recall the announcement from Motorola last week, detailing that the Android-powered BACKFLIP, DEXT and QUENCH would all be in their way to Canada on various carriers (TELUS, Bell and Rogers). Coolness for sure. By the end of the week we heard that the BACKFLIP is destined for TELUS, and the DEXT, well, that…
Rogers Launches ‘RedBoard’ to Connect with Customers
Doing their best to connect with (and perhaps even make peace with some!) customers nationwide, Rogers has launched something they call ‘RedBoard’. The name of course is a metaphor. With whiteboards lining office scenarios all over the world (ok, maybe not-so-much anymore), the Rogers ‘RedBoard’ is a place for Rogers customers and employees to post…
Rogers Galaxy Spica to go for $79.99 on 3-year Contract
Just the other day we found out the Samsung Galaxy ‘Spica’ would be coming to Rogers… an addition like this is quite notable, as it would be the first Android offering on Rogers since the HTC Dream and Magic took hold. While launch date details are still up on the air, I do have some…
Confirmed: Motorola MOTOBLUR Handsets Set to Hit Canada HARD
You may have heard some rumblings that Motorola is going to hit the Canadian mobile scene hard with MOTOBLUR-enabled devices. While this tickled my interest-bone a bit, there wasn’t really much more to it than rumor… That is, until now. We’ve just received a short statement from a Rogers connection, stating that Rogers will indeed…
Rogers to Get Android-Powered Samsung Galaxy ‘Spica’
Heard a few rumblings the other day that Rogers may be picking up the Samsung Galaxy in the near future. While rumblings are always good, I was a little hesitant to post anything until I knew the whole story… or at least had some confirmation. Now I do. Word has it via an in-store Rogers…
Rogers Planning ‘Mid-Year’ Upgrade to Android 2.1 on the HTC Magic+
After posting news that Rogers has rebranded the HTC Magic as the Magic+, I was promptly contacted by a rep at Rogers giving me a little insight on their plans with the ‘new’ device. Turns out they are planning an upgrade to version 2.1 of Android by ‘mid-year’. After some brief prodding I was unable…
Bell, Rogers, and TELUS Complete Two-Way Video Call Trials
The big three Canadian carriers have just completed interoperability tests for two-way video calling, which had previously been limited to only those who were on the same network. The standardization will also allow Canadians to make video calls outside the country. Bell and TELUS first began offering video calling when they announced the launch of…
