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...

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.

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...
