BlackBerry Curve gets Canadian

Looks like the US isn’t the only ones who will be getting the new Blackberry Curve. Rogers in Canada has announced they will be launching the new Blackberry Curve in June. It’s got all the bells and whistles of the US model. Here’s what John Boynton, Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer of Rogers had to say about the exciting news, "As the leading wireless carrier in Canada, Rogers is committed to bringing innovative products like the BlackBerry Curve to Canadians. Our customers are always looking for smart technology solutions and the new BlackBerry Curve, with its combined power and simplicity, will be attractive to businesses and consumers.” The release dates as currently rumored now show AT&T for May, Rogers for June, and T-Mobile for July. As always, remember these dates are subject to change.

    I was at the T-mobile store today and the rep confirmed that their curve will have wi-fi. They will soon anounce the ability to make unlimited free calls using VOIP when you are connected to a wi-fi network. Great if you have a wi-fi network at home and less than perfect reception cell reception. Guess that’s why the dash has had wi-fi from the beginning…

    Rogers reps never have a clue on new equipment releases. They are robots that are told what to sell only when it actually arrives at their stores. The Rogers call-center reps have even less insight. Did I answer all your questions today sir? Thank you for dealing with Rogers! :)
