Rogers and RIM Kick Off CampusChase in Ottawa
I took the morning to check out a contest RIM and Rogers were holding at the University of Ottawa called CampusChase, where teams of two run around town like headless chickens on a scavenger hunt for big prizes. Rogers wasn’t quite ready to show off the Bold 9700 just yet (all of the promos were…
BlackBerry Bold 9700 (Onyx) Now Official

If you’ve been following the latest leaked videos and pictures, you’d already know a fair bit about this device (including that it’s coming to AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Bell, Rogers, telus and maybe even wind) but here’s a spec run-down anyway: 3.2 megapixel camera…

Holy smokes. Only 1 day after the BlackBerry Curve 8520 went all official on Rogers for $99.99 (on a 3-year term)… Future Shop has stepped in with an almost-predictable undercut. The Canadian electronics giant has the 8520 posted on their website for $49.99 on a 3-year term! Naturally, the savings is due to a ‘sale’…

Rogers BlackBerry Curve 8520 Available October 9th?
A quick update on the Rogers BlackBerry Curve 8520 situation. Earlier this month we happened upon some groovy pricing on the 8520 via the good folks at Best Buy.
