With all this "crazy" news happening i thought i would put it all into one post.

New Network?
Rogers custome Treaatz(on howardforums) recently found a rouge GSM 3G signal. After contacting the CNAC it was confirmed to be Bell mobility. Remeber back in October when they announced GSM, ya here it comes. Link (http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1491552&page=1&pp=15)

Phones

-The Palm Centro was released on February 2nd. Link (http://bell.ca/shopping/en_CA_ON.PalmCentro/67870.details)

Blackberry Niagra - Late Q2-Q3

I am trying to weed out what is fact and what is fiction.
- Is there actually a shortage of 8330s in Canada or is it the case that all the carriers are sitting on a plethora of 8130 Pearls that have not moved as predicted due to the popularity of the Curve (and other BB models)?
With the possibility of new BB hardware arriving this year including the Pearl Flip, I would guess the big 3 do not want to find themselves with millions of dollars in dead stock.

who knows... did you see the new images of the 9300? Not a fan of the silver and the current 8900 looks wicked with all black.
