Yesterday afternoon Sean Ward and I had the distinct pleasure of being invited to the Economic Club of Canada for a luncheon hosted by Rogers Wireless, with a keynote speech from Rogers President and CEO Nadir Mohamed. He spoke in depth about “Driving Canada’s Digital Future” and the plans Rogers had in store for us [...]

Though there is still no official word from any of the said carriers, Best Buy (being well..Best Buy), has decided to let the cat out of the bag early. According to the flyer, the BlackBerry Bold 9780 will launch on Tuesday November 9th, 2010 for $149.99 on a 3 year voice and data on every [...]

Within a matter of 2 weeks we have learned that not only is this device coming to Canada, but that Rogers will be one of the 3G carriers planning on selling it; needless to say everything about this device seems to be a bit…umm… rushed. If you needed further confirmation that it is coming (within [...]

Of the devices being updated, the most notable are the Acer Liquid E, the BlackBerry Torch 9800, and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 with the following pricing adjustments: Acer Liquid E has been [...]

Surprise, surprise, what do we have here? None other than a dummy of the just announced BlackBerry Bold 9780 refresh, prepped and ready for an early of November launch. Sweet, eh?

It looks like the wait is finally over. The picture above was sent in of a Rogers Galaxy S Captivate that arrived at a Rogers retail store in the GTA (on hold for me as well ) Although stock both online and in store may not be the greatest, this is finally some good news [...]

Exactly a week ago today news spread like wildfire that Rogers would push the 24 month upgrade eligibility 6 more months to a grueling 30 months; needless to say people weren’t too happy. Rumor has it said backlash proved to be successful and Rogers listened; supposedly they intend on going back to the original 24 [...]

And just like that confirmation comes in from on all ends. We just received an email from our Rogers contact, confirming what we were waiting to hear: “Hey, You may have seen BlackBerry’s announcement about the 9780. Just wanted to let you know that Rogers will be carrying it. No additional details now, but I’ll [...]

Ahh yes, the ever popular upgrade process and how it has changed over the times. When I first worked for Rogers it was every 12 months, elating customers who’s devices would crap out within the year.
