Rumour has it that Canadian service provider Rogers will be releasing an 8 GB iPhone 3GS. This could provide a nice option for people who want the horsepower of the 3GS, but not necessarily the $199 pricetag. Of course, this leaves us wondering what will happen to the existing 8 GB iPhone 3G; will it…
Bell Shrugs off Rogers’ HSPA+
Rogers is promising 21 Mbps to Toronto at the end of the month, and spreading to the rest of Canada in due time, but internally-released counterpoints bring up some valid facts: Key reasons why Bell is not concerned: 1.

Rogers and Fido Extend iPhone 3GS Promotion Through September 15th
Looks like Rogers and discount subsidiary Fido are extending their iPhone 3GS promo until September… September 15th, to be exact. Perhaps the biggest deal in all of this in my opinion is the 6GB/$30 mth data plan promotion. If you can get on this (I am), do it now… Because Rogers may never, ever offer…
Rogers Announces Modest Q2 Gains, Manitoba Roaming Deal
Rogers has announced their second quarter results, and investors weren’t exactly happy with them. Profits were up a mere 3% compared to last year, totaling $2.891 billion.

Rogers Announces HSPA+, 21 Mbps Coming to Canada in August
Starting in Toronto this August, Rogers will begin rolling out their HSPA+ network, which clocks in at an impressive 21 Mbps. At those speeds, HSPA+ will provide a solid stopgap for Rogers before the big bad LTE train comes trundling into town. The release only mentions an internet stick to be launched alongside the network,…
Rogers Wireless now supports carrier billing in N-Gage
Nokia has managed to get Canada’s Rogers Wireless on board for carrier billing in the N-Gage. As a result, N-Gage users will be able to pay for a game via their monthly phone bill — cost of the game will be added on top of what you already pay for the mobile service. No more…
Rogers Wireless adds Sony Ericsson MD400g USB modem
Canada’s Rogers Wireless has a new USB modem in its offering. It’s the Sony Ericsson MD400g, which aside from boasting an HSDPA, also comes with a GPS receiver and Memory Stick Micro (M2) slot. That said, this is probably one of the best such devices on the market, though I’ll pick microSD cards over Memory…

Canadians can now get their hands on the ‘refreshed’ versions of the iPhone 3G at Fido…for a new low price. Rogers’ discount carrier Fido has dropped the price on their refreshed iPhone 3G lineup today. Some time back they were selling them out at $149 for the 8GB, and $249 for the 16GB. Now, you…
Make a Pitch and Have Rogers Create your Android App
So, maybe you’re one of many Canadians who hopped onto the Android boat after Rogers cut the price on the Dream and Magic to $99 on contract, and didn’t quite find all of the apps in the Android Market you were hoping to find. Well, now is your chance to rectify the situation; Rogers is…
OS 4.6.0.282 Now Available for the Rogers BlackBerry Bold
Happy Monday everyone. It wouldn’t be the start of a new week (for me at least) without reports of a new BlackBerry OS dropping over the weekend. Sure enough, a few days ago Rogers released OS 4.6.0.282 for BlackBerry Bold users. If you’re rockin’ the Bold on Rogers, this is an official update so I…
