A pretty believable roadmap for upcoming BlackBerry devices on Rogers has surfaced, and by and large, we're looking at a whole bunch of good news here. First, let's start out with the best: the rumor that Canadians will be able to
pick up their Bolds before the month of July is out is still holding strong, with this particular document suggesting that the 25th will see an official announcement followed by in-store availability on the 29th. Next, the
KickStart -- RIM's first flip -- should make an appearance in the second half of September, and finally, the
Javelin is targeted for the tail end of the year in late November or early December. Happily, this is one of those rare situations where it looks like we'll be getting the good stuff (read: the Bold) first, since the Javelin's rumored to keep 3G out of the equation.

ahhh how rogers has nice and shiny phones with ridiculous prices. if only people would wake up leave them to show them a lesson
Why can't AT&T get the Kickstart? Why can't RIM make it 3G? Damn the phone gods!
@Riley Freeman And go where for good phones and good coverage? Bell/Aliant..hmm nope can't even go outside my city and get their coverage...Telus...nope..same deal, and of course don't get me started on their phones...being a BlackBerry user, what options do I have...8830,8130,8330..which if you ask any RIM tech support agent are the WORST devices BlackBerry has ever made..the CDMA counterparts to the GSM versions blow!!
Hmm, great news, but didn't we just read a week ago, the Bold's release date was pushed back to August due to issues RIM was having?
I purely think its a marketing strategy from AT&T. They don't want anything to soak up the iPhone's glory yet(if ever) right away, so they probably made up some bogus Bold defect.
We'll see, if Rogers gets the Bold before AT&T(seeing that the BB Bold has 'problems), then we will know for sure whats up.
no good data plan
and i am done
there is no love for Rogers
