Canadians pay too much for their monthly cell phone bill, and are dragged into lengthy contracts that punish consumers for ending them before their term, according to a SeaBord Group study entitled “Death Grip.” (Great name!) There will likely be another wireless spectrum auction in 2012 or 2013, and could increase competition again in the [...]

The strange-looking but incredibly neat Motorola Flipout has arrived at Rogers for $29.99 on a 3-year term. Nothing to say other than that obvious: if you need a keyboard and a compact Android device, this should be a killer phone. While it doesn’t boast the high specs of the latest Android phones to hit the [...]

Barely 24 hours has passed since excited Canadians found out that Rogers will carry the Blackberry Torch 9800, but that didn’t stop Rogers from quietly launching the Curve 3G earlier this morning ahead of schedule.

Community Forums have just launched with the aim of helping with tech support issues or your wireless device, home phone and internet, as well as cable services.

Yes, it appears that Rogers’ $159 16GB / $269 32GB trend has spilled over to the other carriers, and this will be a Canadian mosquito-swatting competition to see which carrier can be lure you into the light. What’s lovely about this is that all three carriers are being more lax about their hardware upgrade requirements, [...]

What we have here is a screen shot of the iPhone 4 showing up in the Rogers retail upgrade screen, meaning the die-hards in line can rest assured that they will get their device (obviously stock permitting) Pricing seen reflects the users monthly spend NOT the price of hardware. Before I pick my device up, [...]
