Palm and Rogers Wireless have recently announced the Canadian launch of the popular Palm Centro smartphone.
The handset will be available for $199 CAD for existing customers and $299 CAD for new subscribers, however they will all have to sign a three-year contract with a required voice and data plan.

While everyone is waiting for the BlackBerry Bold to appear on the largest canadian carrier, Rogers has replaced the older BlackBerry 8800 with the 8820 model. The only noticeable difference between these two is that the latter sports Wi-Fi connectivity. The prices are CA$349, CA$499, and CA$549 on a three- ,two- , and one-year contracts (special promo price), respectively.

Rogers Wireless announced its new BlackBerry data plans, which include browsing, email, and strangely, no unlimited BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) option. Prices are as following:

• $30 - 300 MB;
• $60 - 1 GB;
• $80 - 3 GB;
• $100 - 6 GB.

Pretty expensive, though the includded data is sufficient for monthly usage, even with the upcoming 3G BlackBerry Bold.

Rogers is ready to release three new RIM smartphones on its GSM network. These include the BlackBerry Curve 8310 in a new soft pink color, the UMA-enabled Pearl 8120 with OS 4.5, and the new Bold. The release date is yet unconfirmed, but the prices are official and are as following:

• Pink BlackBerry Curve - $199 on three years;
• Pearl 8120 - $149 on three years.

Following T-Mobile, Rogers is ready to release the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic phone in Canada.

It will come with a 1GB memory card in the box and will cost $99.99 CAD (about $101) on a 3-year contract after rebate.

This thin 9.9mm handset with a 3.5mm headphone jack may serve as a great music player, but expect to spend a little more to get a higher capacity memory card, coz 1GB is for noobs.

Briefly: Rogers Wireless announced they will introduce the Nokia N95 in Canada on May 2nd.

We're positive this won't be the 8GB model, but the latter will surely be released as well after a short period of time.

Well, only time will tell...

According to some FCC documents, the Sony Ericsson K850 that was released a while ago by Canadian Rogers will soon be available in the U.S. through AT&T.

It will pack tri-band 3G support (cool!) and a 5Mpix camera with xenon flash, but unfortunately we can not provide you the release date and pricing details, as there was no official announcement from the carrier.

The waiting is over! Rogers Wireless has announced that the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8110 is finally directly available for their network.

The 8110 was a hit with every previous carrier, and we're sure Rogers won't be an exception. Some of the phone's features include:

• 2Mpix camera 5x digital zoom and a built-in flash;
• microSDHC slot with a 1GB card included;
• Music downloads through Rogers Music Store;
• GPS with support for TeleNav GPS Navigator, BlackBerry Maps included.

A month after the U.S. release the MOTORAZR2 V9 became available in Canada from Rogers Wireless.

It will be selling for C$299 with a 3-year agreement, or C$459.99 contract free.

Just to remind you of the phone's specifications, it comes with two displays, a 2Mpix camera, support for stereo Bluetooth, a Windows Media Player 11 compatible media player, and microSD slot.
