  • We got confirmation from Rogers today that there's a backorder for the recently launched Apple iPhone 3GS - reason being is that they've sold out of them. No word on exact sales number were released (we'll have to wait until the end of the quarter results). However, Rogers spokesperson Keith McArthur stated "The Canadian launch of the iPhone 3GS has been a tremendous success. Rogers has experienced high demand and has sold out of the iPhone 3GS in the majority of outlets across the country. (more...) Continue reading...
  • Speak Out 7Eleven has added another device to their lineup, this time it's a worthwhile one to consider. According to their July Handset Guide the "Jamma" Nokia 5130 is available for a whopping $139.99. You'll get 20 minutes of start-up time and this is only 88 grams, comes with a 2 inch display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, has dedicated music keys and can hold up to 16 GB of expandable memory (microSD). This also comes with an FM radio, 3.5 mm headphone jack, MP3 player, Bluetooth compatible and a 2 megapixel camera with video capabilities.

What's more interesting is if you watch the teaser video it looks like it will have some sort of App that will work with the GPS in your Berry to locate the band, your friends and anyone else that has a Berry. No details on when it will be released but you can sign up for updates (more...) Continue reading...
  • Virgin Mobile is now officially part of Bell as they've completed the $142-million acquisition. Bell already had a 50% stake in their business but wanted the other 50% and now retains all long-term rights and benefits of the Virgin Mobile... such as the very popular Virgin Festival. This is also good news as Virgin will continue to get better devices at a faster time period. Over the past couple months we've seen them launch the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, LG Rumour2 and Samsung Vice. In addition, apart from the Virgin kiosks and online, you'll be able to get the devices from the recent Bell acquisition of The Source starting January 2010. George Cope, President and CEO of Bell and BCE also announced a new President of Virgin Mobile has been named, Robert Blumenthal replaces Andrew Black. (more...) Continue reading...
