Despite promises of continual shipments, Rogers says it is once again out of stock for the iPhone 3GS -- launched in June of this year -- and even the iPhone 3G, released in 2008. The carrier's sub-brand, Fido, is still said to have some 3G models in stock.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/19/canadian.iphone.shortages/ Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/31/cdn.iphone.promos.extend/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/iphone3gs-review.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Canadian carrier Rogers has extended a number of key iPhone 3GS promotions -- originally set to expire today -- until September 15th, both under its own branding and that of Fido. A $500 subsidy is available to people who bought an iPhone 3G between July 11th and September 30th of last year, and also spend at least $100 per month. Eligible shoppers are penalized with a one-year contract extensio... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/31/cdn.iphone.promos.extend/ Fri, 31 Jul 2009 15:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/25/telus.iphone.oct.rumor/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/iphone3gs.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Telus could leap on the iPhone almost as soon as it has a network ready to support the device, a rumor floated today suggests. A historically reliable source of leaks on Howard Forums claims a Telus executive has said the carrier will pick up rights for the iPhone almost immediately after its HSPA-based network goes live in October and could support the handset. As Telus doesn't have a GSM netwo... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/25/telus.iphone.oct.rumor/ Thu, 25 Jun 2009 11:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/15/rogers.3g.s.price.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/iphone3g-review.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />(Update with extra leaks) The version of the iPhone 3G S bound for Canadian provider Rogers and its sister carrier Fido may cost disproportionately more for existing customers than it will in the US, according to claims made by Fido representatives. While the three-year pricing is technically lower priced than the US counterpart, Fido reportedly says the newer device will cost a minimum of $799 C... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/15/rogers.3g.s.price.leak/ Mon, 15 Jun 2009 18:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/11/fido.iphone.3gs.info/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0906/fip1.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Canadian carrier Fido has posted information on its iPhone 3GS pricing and subscription options. As in the US the phone will be launching June 19th, with a 16GB phone costing $199, and a 32GB model $299, when either is combined with a three-year voice and data plan. Fido will also be offering the iPhone 3G for $99, when bought under the same terms. Contract-free pricing should be available, thoug... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/11/fido.iphone.3gs.info/ Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/07/bell.buys.virgin.mobile.ca/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/lgrumor-virgin.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Bell on Thursday said it had bought up the remaining stakes in Virgin Mobile Canada, taking complete control of the prepay-heavy carrier. The takeover is mutual and is labeled by Bell as part of its attempt to take the lead in the Canadian cellphone market. The Virgin label will continue to exist separate from Bell but will reportedly have streamlined operations, including a shared network and t... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/07/bell.buys.virgin.mobile.ca/ Thu, 07 May 2009 12:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/08/fido.iphone.discounts/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0903/iphone-video-22.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Canadian carrier Fido, a subset of Rogers, has begun selling "refreshed" iPhone 3Gs, reports say. The phones were originally bought and returned within Fido's 15-day return window, reflecting conditions similar to various refurb discounts outside of Canada. The Fido phones are specifically not refurbished, however, having only received minor attention before being put back on sale.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/08/fido.iphone.discounts/ Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/09/fido.handsets.revealed/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0902/fidophoneleak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />An image that surfaced last week reveals the approximate release dates and pricing information for several handsets that are coming to Canadian wireless provider Fido, a subsidiary of Rogers. The Samsung F266 is due for a February 10th release, priced at $150 CAD contract-free, or $25 on a two-year term. Little is known about this handset, which would make its debut at Fido in North America.

As of February 4th, Fido will reportedly offer at least the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 to customers.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/21/fido.to.get.blackberries/ Wed, 21 Jan 2009 17:45:00 GMT
