Well looky here, what do we have? Shots of a Rogers branded BlackBerry Curve 8520? Yeppers, looks that way. Over the weekend some shots were leaked of the Curve 8520 in Rogers livery, hinting at the fact that the device may show up north of the border sooner rather than later. I should note that…
Rogers Upgrades Download Speeds to 21Mbps
Rogers has been busy upgrading its network lately. They’ve launched its HSPA+ network in the cities of Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary and Montreal. So what does this mean? Well, it means the lucky folks in those great cities can now access download speeds maxing out at around 21Mbps… much better than the typical ~6Mbps Rogers…
Canada’s Rogers Wireless to offer Motorola Android phone next year
Rogers Wireless is no stranger to Android — they already offer HTC’s Dream and Magic — and now, it seems, they plan to add a Motorola’s Android device, as well. According to Financial Post, which quotes Rogers’ president Rob Bruce, the carrier will be adding a Moto-made Android smartphone at some point in 2010. Details…
Rogers Soft Launches 15 GB / $150 Wireless Plan
Although you wouldn’t be able to tell from their website, Rogers has begun rolling out a new data plan for 15 GB at $150/month, hinted at earlier this summer. I gave Rogers a call to see what’s up, and apparently they’re just soft-launching it for now to guage interest, which, as you can imagine, might…
Rogers to Launch New Mobile Portal Soon?
Rumor has it that Rogers is on the cusp of launching a new mobile portal. Honestly, I’ve never even visited the existing portal, so this is news to me that they even have one!? The new portal is slated to have a ton of upgrades, including improved navigation, online shopping options, and access to your…
iPhone 3GS Stock in Canada Drying Up
Rogers is admitting that they’ve got a backlog of iPhone 3GS orders to catch up on, much to the chagrin of those eager to snag Apple’s latest and greatest. This is likely because the U.S. market needs to get taken care of before anything else, although a few units are still trickling in north of…
Future Shop Puts HTC Dream and Magic On Sale for $49.99 Until August 13th
Crikey, just when you thought Rogers’ price of $79.99 was not a bad deal for the HTC Dream and Magic… Future Shop comes along and undercuts them. Yessir, for a limited time (until August 13th) Future Shop has the same HTC Dream and Magic up-for-grabs for a measly $49.99. Ridiculous. Now I’m REALLY wondering if…
Rogers Drops Price of HTC Magic and Dream to $79.99 On-Contract
Chalk this up to poor sales, or thoughtful execs looking to save the consumer a few bucks (I’ll take poor sales)… The HTC Magic and HTC Dream have dropped in price yet again on Rogers. Currently both device will run you $79.99 on a 3-year term. I suppose this could also be a sign that…
8GB iPhone 3GS Appears on Rogers Website
Could it be? Well, it certainly looks like it. Simon reported on this rumor a little while ago, and now some juicy details have leaked out thanks to the good folks at Rogers. An iPhone 3G vs. iPhone 3GS comparison chart on the Rogers Wireless website appears to have spilled the beans as you can…
Canada’s Rogers Wireless to offer the Nokia 6790 Surge, too?
After AT&T, Canada’s Rogers Wireless is getting ready to launch the Nokia 6790 Surge, too. We’re not too excited about the Surge and its fugly form factor, but I guess some Sidekick fans like it (or not). Anyway, the carrier will reportedly sell the device for CA$89.99 on a way-too-long 3-year contract, or for CA$279.99…
