Motorola Q9h, and HTC TyTN II launch on Rogers imminent?
We’ve just received word that Rogers in Canada is gearing up to launch the Motorola Q9h in the very near future. Promo materials have already started being distributed and they are getting ready "for a large marketing campaign pushing Windows Mobile devices." Additionally, it looks like Rogers is going to grab the HTC TyTN II as well, as promo materials have also been spotted for this handset. The rumored drop date for the Motorol Q9h was today, but as our informant says, "their dates are always fluid." Pricing should start at $249.99 with a 3-year agreement for the Motorola Q9h.
I am no techie, but when I spoke with Rogers, they said unlocked phones will not work on their newer and faster higher speed internet service.
Hi Lee. They are full of crap. My phone works on the new HSDPA just fine. Rogers just wants you to buy the phone from them so they can lock you in for three years.
Larry, what kind of plan do you suggest..in terms of data..In the us,unlimited plan is $50 a month, and Rogers best plan is $80 for 500 mg.
Thanks..
Lee, I went with the 1GB for $65 plan. It’s a good deal for Canada! You’ll have to ask for it and the CSR might not know what it is. I had to call back twice before I got someone who knew what I was talking about. Good luck.

Thanks Tyler, Greta and Larry for your help on the unlocked version. Larry has recommended the 1 gig $65 data plan, so what about the voice plan? With respect to data, how much is 1 gig. ie.. say I get 100 email and some surfing..What about skype? Would I go over the 1 gig rate?
IF your an existing customer,
call customer service and ask for “Customer Relations” they may send you direct or to a prompt that asks if your calling to disconnect you phone. say “yes” to disconnect your phone.
You will then be connected to a agent thats job is to make you happy. They can negotiate plans and refunds. Tell them their data plans are too high (which I did) and that Bell offers unlimited phone card plan for 75 bucks. i got 3 months of free unlimited data usage! then they sadi call back to work out a plan and price based on what I use.
I would only talk to Customer Relations as any dealer, or first level customer service just read out of flyer the current promo’s. They have no power to make judgement calls.
Oh And Im on a $40 700 minute free evening and weekend plan. I have a $20 add on that gives me the 10mb data and v\m calll id \text\mms whocalled service name and number caller id yadda yadda
I just spoke with a rep on the phone from Rogers. aperantly all of their Q4 phones are out right now. She said that the soonest we might see a new phone is February.
I would love to know how to get my Tytn II working on the Rogers network.. I have an unlocked one I purchased in Asia and it works amazing over there but nobody at rogers can help with making it work in Canada as it’s not “officially” released here.. can someone point me to some of those forums that can help me fudge this? Thanks
tytn ii comes on april 1, 2008. It is no april fools joke
