New phones?

[Bro]

what is coming out on Rogers soon?

[urbnlgcy]

Well, there is the new iPhone coming next July, making the one you just bought obsolete ;)

[bittersweet]

^ lol

hopefully Steve Jobs will do the presentation

[1984]

is that blackberry magnum coming?

[ascariss]

who knows, it is definite that rogers will counter with new devices and plans once telus and bell launch their new networks.

[urbnlgcy]

The problem with that strategy is that Telus/Bell will now have access to those new phones anyways, which diminishes an advantage Rogers had in the past. I really do like competition. :) Hopefully it just drives prices down.

[Hog]

Rogers getting the 8520?

what new phones are coming out soon, other than the Surge?

FYI - the Samsung Hype is on Pay as You go now.
(Not so much of a Hype release)

[Frankie]

nothing special... what's coming up that is actually good? Any BB like the Storm2, or that ONYX?

[007]

Anything new coming down the pipe for Rogers? Been kinda quiet recently

[Neon]

Hopefully an another Android

[cracked]

what about that motorola android, the scholles or something

[greek]

I'm not so concerned with devices as I am with plans, anything new coming regarding price plans?

[mr-anderson]

just more device price drops are looming, back to school was the latest plan reductions. more for the start of Q4 though

[pencils]

Read that the Storm 2 is coming soon, plus the 9700
also read of some Android device in 2010

[Neon]

when is that Nokia Surge coming out?

[lovemymobile]

maybe October? Just a wild guess

not sure about this one, but heard the LG Android is coming to Rogers

Rogers will have a good lineup, they always do. It's the pricing that bites :(

when is the Storm 2 dropping in Canada?

when is the Storm 2 dropping in Canada?

Nov-Dec...CDMA only i believe....

[greek]

no Storm 2 for Rogers? What are they releasing for the holidays?
BB 9700
Nokia Surge
LG Etna

what else?

[Neon]

Aren't they releasing a Motorola android device too?

[Kronk86]

Rogers better have something really awesome this Holiday season. With TELUS and Bell getting both CDMA AND HSPA phones (that include new Android phones) Rogers needs to play catch up.

[urbnlgcy]

It's a new position for Rogers, but I hope they compete hard.

[Bro]

I believe this will make everyone work harder for their customers, do everything possible to satisfy what they want. There will be so much more choice now

what about the x2? is this coming out on rogers before the end of year?

Don't you think Rogers has been a little to quiet recently? Maybe they will be announcing something really big on the 4th or 5th to quiet Bell/Telus down?

Is the LG Eva the same as LG Etna, but just a different name?

[cracked]

i checked it out on Google and it looks like its the same phone

[1984]

The Surge is available now, anyone picking this up? IMO for $29.99 I rather spend a few more buck and get one of the phones in the pic above

[holiday]

ah nope.
Bold 9700 please

[bigtime]

the eve is priced right at $49

[lovemymobile]

^ Eve is coming out on the 4th of November :)

[dougfriessen]

^ with paid apps this time in the Android Marketplace?

[Kronk86]

That is a lack luster lineup. If that is how it continues, then they are going to be left in the dust.

[Skippy101]

Bold 9700 is their best new one, but all the carriers have it now. hahahahaha
It's getting interesting!

[SA5195]

do u need a data plan for the eve? cause its an android.

I would ***ume so, probably the usual $45/month

That's a little behind...TELUS already has that EXACT same plan...LOL The Clear and Simple plans will change a few things as well....but new rate plans will be launched on Thursday too....Exciting times!!!

Rogers needs to step it up...The 'match it' game is old.

[pencils]

^ A little late???

This is the REVOLUTION they were speaking about!!
everyone will revolt against them :)

[1984]

they should bring back the $30 6GB plan and make it even better, like $25

[mr-anderson]

^ that will not happen but they will be coming out with a sweet plan very soon ;)

[007]

^ any hints, curious how they will be approaching the competition. 2 days until they loose the iPhone exclusivity!

[1984]

lg Eve is available for the $49 price. Looks good for the price :)

Rogers is doomed.

Rogers is doomed.

N86 has been announced, this could be the saving grace (lol)

[underwhere]

those prices rogers has for those webphones are a great deal

[greek]

still these are for 3-year pricing and they have to compete with the new kids. Good first promo

[Herb Tarlek]

Hopefully there is more to come? What about price plans?

[lovemymobile]

I kinda want to get an andoid but don't want the Eve. Think I can buy a Hero and put it on Rogers?

[pusher]

looks like the Nokia N86 is coming soon. Anyone jumping on that one? Or is this a year too late?

[Skippy101]

Has anybody heard anything about the Eve? Is it good?

[Demio]

I haven't heard of anyone getting the LG Eve yet.. Not too much hype surrounding that phone.

As for the HTC Hero, I want this phone! I have been eyeing it since it came out in Europe! I'm hoping it comes to Rogers soon enough, don't really want to switch to Telus at this point

[dougfriessen]

really surprised that the Eve has got little interest. isn't this LG's first smartphone and first android?

[kmusky]

really surprised that the Eve has got little interest. isn't this LG's first smartphone and first android?

Yes, it is. Unfortunately, With the Magic and Dream already being discounted, and the Hero and upcoming Milestone (Droid/Sholes) stealing alot of thunder, the Eve has been lost in the shuffle.

Telus's Pixi and Pre announcements don't help either.

[mytime]

maybe the rogers reign is over????

[Neon]

might bolt over to Rogers and get the Eve. Deal is good but honestly how are the rate plans. I plan on doing web/e-mail/text, not to much video.

how reliable is this calculator:

I would say go for 1gb. I dont think its very accurate thow. Because im on msn and the web on my dream alot and it says i should exceed 1 gb but i rarely p*** 200mb and i have the 1gb plan

[Hog]

i think he calc. is accurate. the best deal rogers had was the $30 6gb though

[becks]

If they come out with that plan again I would jump ship to rogers and the iPhone

[Hog]

I think a lot of people would do the same. Hopefully the customer service keeps improving

[Kronk86]

I think a lot of people would do the same. Hopefully the customer service keeps improving

Now if only there coverage would improve and they drop the GRR ( Witch doesn't even go to the government ) then they would be decent but i really want to cancel my contract and jump ship

[greek]

I know, that GRR this is crazy. They could have called it something a bit more creative.

[Hog]

As much as I like to bash Rogers they always seem to comeback in some way. Their device lineup is good now and those webphone prices for under 100 bucks is good. The price plans could be better though

[underwhere]

Agreed, but let's hope WIND actually makes it out of the gate to drop those prices

[Bro]

maybe there will be a slight drop for the holiday, like long distance but nothing outrageous

[cracked]

besides the N86 what else is coming out?

[underwhere]

I heard a Samsung, but nothing solid.
(Looks like Hog up top heard the same thing)

[mr-anderson]

anyone got the LG eve? How is it?

[Sweetness]

nope, there has been limited talk about this. Isn't it LG's first smartphone too?

[Skippy101]

^ first smartphone. Looks good too and priced right at 99. Maybe it will drop again closer to the holidays.

[mcgleung]

Don't think the Motorola Milestone will be coming to Rogers, I am pretty sure it's headed to Telus. Hero and Milestone, Telus is going to take the lead in terms of quality android devices. I think I am going to be switching over there. Rogers better come out with some next level uber android device to lure me back to them. Or at least an android app for "My Account" like on the iPhone.

[Bro]

what about this Samsung "Forever" phone. this worth it? What's the price point on this?

[mytime]

looks like an entry messaging phone, have not heard the price

[pusher]

hahaha anyone getting the Nokia 6750 that just launched? It's a rainbow!

[Hog]

No thanks. Not even the pretty colous can sell me

[bittersweet]

Ever since Bell/TELUS went HSPA Rogers has been going down the tubes. Layoffs, reduced handset prices, told their not the fastest or most reliable. The era has ended :)

[cracked]

WOW. so true :(

[mytime]

rogers will be the so called leader for a few more years. Bell and Telus are going to eventually merge.

[Sweetness]

is that for real or is this just another rumour that they are merging? It's been going on for years that talk

[Skippy101]

so what's coming down Rogers pipe for the next few weeks? Any new phones?

[007]

I think it's just some more price drops, no new phones until January. Could be wrong :(

[mr-anderson]

I think you might be right, but I can find out more on Monday :)

[underwhere]

Rogers seems a bit quiet, anything going on there?

[Kronk86]

Doesn't look like anything interesting coming out on Big Red...

[newton]

not looking good for Rogers, but they do have some good deals going on

[Herb Tarlek]

How do you think things will stack up for the big in the new year? Who will come out on top?

[12345]

Heard Rogers is coming out with some sweet deal tom.

[urbnlgcy]

If DAVE and Wind both get their launches done, we could be seeing a very different wireless landscape. Rogers management has done a good job thus fair though, so I'm going to say they have a bunch of tricks up their sleeves. Big push towards LTE? Price wars? More exclusivity deals?

[mytime]

still heard nothing. What is the big news?

[cracked]

another day with nothing happening at the one-time-most-reliable

[Sweetness]

nada... Rogers is in it knee deep now. WIND wind take away many customers from them

[mr-anderson]

what's coming in 2010? Anyone know? I've heard another Android device, possibly the new XPERIA

[cracked]

anybody have any clue about what is coming in 2010?

[12345]

I heard a couple Berrys, Nokis and Moto android

[greek]

what BB?

[bittersweet]

maybe, just maybe they will get the Storm2

[mytime]

probably the pearl 2

[007]

and maybe the next version of the Curve

[greek]

I am hearing the X10 in Q3, anyone else?

[kmusky]

and maybe the next version of the Curve

Didn't they just get the 8520?

[greek]

ya but it could be a rumour though. The 8900 with a trackpad (Tour 2 but for GSM)

[BamBam]

not sure if there is a GSM version yet. The only one knows is the Tour2 for Sprint

[pencils]

XPERIA X10 is coming Q2
http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/01/05/rogers-first-in-north-america-to-launch-sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-coming-2nd-quarter-2010/

[Kronk86]

If Rogers keeps releasing these outdated BB's like the new Curve and 8900, they are taking a step back. Those devices only work on EDGE/GSM/GPRS and what is the point in having a smartphone with data speeds like that?

The Xperia X10 is promising, but it is basically the same as the Nexus One of Droid. These manufacturers need to release something worth talking about; A phone with a high res screen, a snapdragon processor (or better), an Nvidia mobile graphics chipset, full QWERTY and a decent camera. All the phones that are coming out may as well be from the same manufacturer. Nothing original.

[bigtime]

hope they follow through with an updated Android OS and not what the Magic and cream has

[007]

Moto Cliq is on the way

[mr-anderson]

^ any other info on it?

[greek]

what else is there beside the upcoming X10?

[Brendanmurphy]

what else is there beside the upcoming X10?

A motorola android phone. So either the cliq or most likely the backflip because its going to at&t witch shares our 3g banding. Or some other unannounced phone

[lovemymobile]

IMO Rogers lost the Android Revolution and TELUS is kicking their butt

[Kronk86]

The X10 was a let down. There are other Android phones that are much better and a LOT more responsive.

Sony's skin makes the handset lag at times and when compared to phones like the Desire, it just doesn't hold up.

When it comes to solid Android devices, TELUS definitely wins. They plan on launching a lot more of them too.

[underwhere]

^ what new Android phones? hints?

[BamBam]

I honestly hope Rogers will come up with something better to release. These are all mid level phones. Maybe they'll get the 9800 slider or something

[007]

The X10 was a let down. There are other Android phones that are much better and a LOT more responsive.

I totally agree on timescape. When comparing my friends x10 to my milestone its like night and day. Timescape is so laggy. It isn't optimized and uses surprising amount of data. Time scape is so laggy my friend actually switched to home replacements. Another thing is build quality, The x10 feels cheap it has 1 ****ty speaker which the milestone on 1 / 3 is louder then the x10's max. Sony needs to stay out of the smartphone market.

Telus is really owning rogers in the Android Revolution and Bell is non existent.

[Bikram]

The specs of this phone (http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/05/03/acer-liquid-e-to-launch-in-june-for-49-99-on-3-year/) looks pretty good. I hope it is as cheap as they say it is :)
