First it was the BACKFLIP on Telus; then the DEXT from Bell; now, Rogers has released its Social View phone, the QUENCH. The phone, which we tried at the launch party for MOTOBLUR last month, was well received amongst journalists and fans, but in my opinion, was the least exciting of the three MOTOBLUR phones. [...]

Let’s get this straight: for the past few days there have been some conflicting stories regarding the wide availability of the white version of the Rogers BlackBerry 9700. I can confirm that Rogers stores are starting to stock the device and the Eaton Centre location has it for purchase today, at $149.99 on a 3-year [...]

We’ve received word that the Bold 9000 and Curve 8900 will be dropping in price at Rogers as of Tuesday, May 18th, 2010. Price drops as follows: Current 3-Year Promo Term $99.99 New 3-Year Promo Term effective May 18 $49.99 Current 3-Year Promo Term $49.99 New 3-Year Promo Term effective May 18 $24.99

One of our loyal tipsters sent this screen shot of the White Blackberry Bold 9700 showing up in Rogers upgrade system, though the phone’s existence has still yet to be officially acknowledged by Rogers, we are sure that is just around the corner. The pricing at $449.99 is without data-added on, but we are told [...]

Finally, the Rogers lineup of Android smartphones is starting to make sense. With the MOTOBLUR launch party having come and gone and Telus recently releasing the Backflip, it seemed obvious that Rogers shed some light on their upcoming MOTOBLUR device, the QUENCH. At the top, for $149.99, they have the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Even though it [...]

The latest rumours show Rogers launching the upcoming Acer Liquid E for $79.99 on a three-year deal. Not as good a deal as the rumoured $49.99, but still impressively inexpensive for a well-equipped Android 2.1 device. Check out our overview of the device, and let us know if this is something you’re interested in when [...]

The iPad arrives in Canada on May 28th, and Rogers has partnered with Apple to provide two no-contract data plans, in addition to unlimited WiFi through their hotspot services. The iPad is such a highly sought-after device that it already has sold out online, and new orders are only shipping on June 7th! Rogers has [...]

We knew the iPad was coming “at the end of May,” but now we have an official date: May 28th, exactly three weeks from today. Sure, if you were tenacious enough you could have already gone to the United States to purchase one, bring it back to your home country, exacto-knife a SIM into a [...]

Rogers announced today they are expanding their extremely fast 21mbp/s HSPA+ network in those territories today, though the Winnipeg rollout will take a couple more months to get going. These speeds are [...]
