Rogers wireless has just officially launched the Nokia N95 8GB, making them the first North American carrier to official support Nokia’s flagship handset. The phone will be available starting May 6th, which is next Tuesday for all you calendar-challenged folks, for $399 with a 3-year contract. Just shy of $400 isn’t too bad, but we […]

It took them long enough! Rogers has finally announced that it negotiated a deal with Apple to bring the coveted iPhone to Canada. Details are limited at this point but Rogers states that the popular Apple handset will be available to its subscribers "by the end of 2008". Does this mean that our friends north […]

If these reports pan out, we could have a lot of happy Canadians on our hands by the end of the summer. According to two separate reports, both the iPhone and the Nokia N95 could be hitting Canadian soil by summertime. The Toronto Star seems to have it on good authority that the iPhone will […]

Looking for a little HSDPA express card action on Rogers Wireless? Happiness will soon be yours. Novatel Wireless has just announced that they will be making their new Merlin X950D Express Card modem available via the Canadian GSM carrier. The X950D is a tri-band GSM/HSDPA card, and sports HSUPA connectivity for lightening fast upload speeds. […]

First on the block with the Sony Ericsson K850? That would be Canada’s Rogers Wireless. The company has just announced that they will be the first North American service provider to carry a subsidized version of SE’s high-end camera phone. For the record, the K850 is one hell of a handset, sporting an N95-rivaling 5 […]

It looks like we can put another check in the ‘confirmed’ column of the internet rumors tally. As has been passed around for a while now, Rogers and Fido have quietly slipped an option on their site to add a $7 unlimited mobile browsing option to select new plans with 3 year shackles. Ok, ok… […]

Rogers wireless customers can finally breath a sigh of relief and get ready to re-up their contracts. The Canadian carrier announced today that the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 is finally directly available for their network. Anticipation has been building over the past few months as word of the Pearl’s inevitable arrival has been tossed around plenty. […]

We have yet to see a North American carrier pick up Nokia’s flagship N95 camera phone, but if this tip we just got happens to pan out, then it seems we could see a carrier-subsidized version of the beast before too long…that is, of course, if you happen to be a Roger’s wireless customer. An […]

 
While combing through our very special delivery one more time, we noticed something that looked a little out of place. There was a black rectangle box covering up something on the BlackBerry 8xxx slide. When we moved it, guess what was there? Yes, folks. The Rogers branding. While it isn’t the biggest news, this just […]

While they still might have a ways to go with fair-priced data plans, it looks like Rogers is introducing a pretty cool feature to their network this month. It’s a voicemail-to-text conversion service, and it does what you’d expect — convert your voicemail into a text message automatically. While not free (it’s priced at $15/month), […]

Tsk Tsk, Rogers. You’ve been letting the cat out of the bag more times than J. Lo’s pregnancy. We stumbled across this Roger’s eNEWSLETTER preference page on their website, and one of the options to include in your personal eNEWSLETTER is "Upcoming wireless technology (Video messaging, iPhone, etc.)" Now, this could be nothing more than […]

You know what they say…if it seems too good to be true, it probably is! And that seems to be the case with the "leaked" Rogers ad we ran showing the iPhone making its way up north to Rogers on December, 7th. Rogers spokesperson Odette Coleman has issued the following statement: "The ad in Boy […]

If this leaked shot of a Roger’s ad turns out to be legit, we shall see the iPhone hit Canada on December, 7th. It should sell for $499CAD on a 3-year contract, and we’re guessing it will be the 8GB model. We were told that since there is this little trademark dispute over the iPhone […]
