Rogers delays Manitoba LTE network launch until 2013
Rogers has successfully rolled out their LTE (Long Term Evolution) network across Canada in various cities. The goal is to bring LTE coverage – which users could expect faster download and upload speeds than HSPA+ – to over 20 million Canadians by the end of 2012. We’ve already seen them go live in several cities [...]
Rogers prices the upcoming Samsung ATIV S at $599.99 on a month-to-month
Earlier this week Rogers went live with “online reservations” for the upcoming Samsung ATIV S. They’ve priced this Windows Phone 8 device at $149.99 on a 3-year, but now there’s confirmation of the month-to-month pricing. According to this flyer Rogers is poised to release the ATIV S for $599.99 MTM. Unfortunately there’s still no word [...]
Rogers creates a $50/month plan that includes 1,000 minutes, unlimited messaging and a tiny bit of data
Rogers recently announced new monthly price plans and offered up unlimited talk and texts, plus various levels of data – now called ‘internet.’ Today they are back with a limited time promo that is their cheapest plan at $50/month. This is open to new and existing customers and basically for $5 less you’re getting 50MB [...]
Rogers Samsung Galaxy S III upgrade to Jelly Bean pushed to “Early December”
Rogers states on their “OS Upgrades” schedule that the “release dates are subject to change” at anytime. This is clearly the case with the Samsung Galaxy S III upgrade to Android OS 4.1 Jelly Bean. What used to be “Late November” is now marked down as “Early December.” No word on the reasons for the [...]
Rogers HTC 8X, only a couple weeks old, sees first price drop
Wow. A couple weeks in and the Windows Phone 8X by HTC has already been price dropped. The 8X is the nicest Windows Phone device that HTC have ever build, most powerful, too. The 8GB drops to $0.01 on a 3-year and the 16GB slips to $79.99. The month-to-month pricing stays the same at $499.99 [...]
Rogers opens up online reservations for the Samsung ATIV S
The elusive Windows Phone 8-powered Samsung ATIV S is still “coming soon,” but can now be reserved via the Rogers Online Reservation System. If going this route piques your interest, you’ll need to drop $40 down as a deposit. I can’t really see it selling out or experiencing the same demand as the GS III. [...]
CIBC Mobile Payment App now available for BlackBerry
A couple weeks back Rogers and CIBC teamed up to launch “suretap,” a mobile payment solution that allows customers to pay for small ticket items via their BlackBerry. To honour this monumental occasion the two companies brought in Olympic gold medalist Simon Whitfield to complete Canada’s first official mobile payment via his Bold 9900 – [...]
Looks like the Samsung ATIV S is launching late November in Canada
There was a hint of hope that we’d see Samsung release the Windows Phone 8 ATIV S mid-November along with the Nokia Lumia 920 and the HTC 8X, but that’s now a faded thought. We’ve been hearing rumours that it’ll be available late November and this internal Rogers doc shows its truth. Dealers will be [...]
Rogers Motorola Razr HD LTE poised to receive Jelly Bean upgrade “Late December”
Rogers has been kind enough to update their “OS Upgrades” schedule and Motorola Razr HD LTE users will be absolutely thrilled. A “tentative” upgrade to Android OS 4.1 Jelly Bean is expected “Late December,” but of course anything can happen between now and then. However, this is a step in the right direction from Moto [...]
LG Optimus G Review (TELUS & Rogers)
