Nokia E71 gets pulled from Fido, goes to Rogers

A number of happy Canadians were excited to hear that Fido was releasing the Nokia E71exclusively with a targeted November launch. Pictures have shown up online with a Fido interface and we wrote about this several times of how a phone like this would be a great addition to the Fido line-up.

Well, we got a call from our Nokia insider and there are conversations on forums that indicate the Nokia E71 is scrapped from Fido’s line-up and now shifting on over to Rogers for the big Q4 launch.

No love for the puppy from the master as this feels like a tennis game – back and forth, back and forth. We’ll have more info on this soon and really see if this story is true or if it’s a PR stunt of some sort.

    5. As far as I know, when we went to the company cruise in July, Nokia representatives came to tell us that E71 is going to be available through Fido. They gave one out to one of the coworkers but prize will be obtained when it’s officially released. However, a blackberry rep came in the other day and told us that he’s betting with a couple of our managers that it won’t be coming. So as a fido rep, I don’t even know what to believe nemore
