The acclaimed Nokia E71 is now available for $99.99 on a three-year contract from Rogers after rebates, but be sure to hound your sales rep for promo prices – apparently list price is $349.99 on a 3-year plan, $374.99 on a 2-year plan, $524.99 on a 1-year plan and $749.99 with no strings attached. It’s…
BlackBerry 8900 Coming to Rogers Soon?
Not one to let Telus and Bell hog all the fun with new devices for the holidays, rumour has it the new BlackBerry Curve is coming to Rogers soon for $179.99 on a three-year plan, $499.99 on two, and $549.99 for no contract. There were rumours a few days ago confirming the BlackBerry 8900 would…
BlackBerry 8900, Pink Bold coming to Rogers?
So long as we’re talking pink today, rumour has it Rogers will be releasing a pink BlackBerry Bold alongside the new BlackBerry 8900 Curve in January ’09. The Bold hasn’t seen anything in the way of new paint jobs yet, despite a couple of coloured battery doors being in the works, but I think the…
Nokia E71 coming to Rogers
As rumoured, Fido won’t be getting the E71, but bigger brother Rogers will be. The E71 is Nokia’s flagship enterprise device, to much critical acclaim. A 3.2 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, QVGA 320 x 240 screen, a solid backing and a great keyboard make this one more a than ample competitor to BlackBerry. Dusan has…
Rogers BlackBerry Pearl Flip now available for $24.99
Wow, are you guys still paying $150 for this thing in the U.S., because up here in Canada, Future Shop is offering the BlackBerry 8220 for $24.99 on contract, with a $25 gift certificate thrown in just for kicks. Rogers is selling it from their outlets for $50, but as usual, the big box stores…
Rogers BlackBerry 8320 actually going for $50?
Hey, does anyone know Steve in marketing? Because he totally screwed up that front page flash ad for Rogers’ BlackBerry holiday promo. Yeah, the one from yesterday. The price for the Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry 8320 is listed there as $99 and up, but a simple click-through to the online store reveals that it’s actually going for…
Rogers outs BlackBerry 8320 in blue
In addition to the recently-discounted Bold and newly-launched BlackBerry Pearl Flip in pink, Rogers will be releasing the BlackBerry 8320 in time for the holiday season for $99.99 on a three-year contract. Rogers has been taking their sweet time getting Wi-Fi BlackBerrys out there, likely in an effort to maintain a stranglehold on wireless data…
Fido to rebrand as discount carrier
Rogers Wireless’ owned Fido is about to be rebranded into a discount carrier. Not that they are already expensive or something, it seems like a marketing move to convince users to stay away from the likes of Telus’ Koodo, Bell’s Solo Mobile and Virgin Mobile Canada. That being said, Fido is about to slash its…
BlackBerry Pearl Flip gets Official on Rogers
After dummy units of the BlackBerry Pearl Flip started arriving at Rogers outlets last week, it was a bit of a no-brainer that launch was coming. Still, official pricing and a release tomorrow is good to have finalized. Hopefully the $50 price point (on 3-year contract) will help the BlackBerry 8220 sell better than it…
Rogers Wireless Continues to Disappoint Consumers in Q4
My ongoing gripes with Rogers continue. Although they are a huge business and need to of course please the shareholders, it seems that they are the slowest and most expensive carrier out there north of the border. It sure would be nice to have an unlimited data plan to use (like the rest of the…
