Rogers has begun selling the LG Loop. You may remember it as the LG Optimus, which we’ve had our hands on at CES in January, and again at Google IO in May. Not really that much to be said, other than it’s another notch in the ol’ Android belt. Her…
Rogers has announced the you’ll soon be able to get your mitts on the Samsung Captivate (see our hands on HERE), and if you’re into tiny flippy things the Motorola Flipout is available for purchase now. Rogers’ RedBoard blog says that the Captiva…
Just seen at the FCC: the HTC Desire is sporting AT&T and Canadian operators Rogers, Telus, and Bell 3G bands. While this is far from an announcement, for our readers in the frozen North it means that you may be seeing the incredible&nbs…
Rogers Wireless now has another great option for Canadian Android lovers, or for those who just need a nice current smartphone. The Liquid E is a powerhouse stuffed into a smaller package, perfect for folks on the go and people who just don’t need 4.3" of screen. Full specs are listed on the Rogers website but here’s the short list — 1 Ghz Snapdragon processor, 3.5-inch display, 512 MB, Android 2.1. Oh, yeah.
Pricing looks nice as well, at $49.99 on a three year contract, $324.99 for 2 years, $374.99 for one year and just $424.99 to buy the phone outright. Looks like a hot little phone that I’d love to see come a little further south. Anyone planning on picking this one up? Shout out in the comments and on the forums! [mobilesyrup]

We already knew the Acer Liquid e was heading to our friendly neighbors to the north via Rogers, that’s old news. What we didn’t know was when it’d release and how much it’ll cost. According to mobilesyrup, the Acer Liquid e (which is the Acer Liquid with Android 2.1) will release in June on Rogers for the low, low price of $49.99 with new 3-year contract. That’s a pretty good deal for a pretty decent Android device.
Plus, if you’re sick and tired of AT&T handcuffing Android devices, an unlocked Rogers Acer Liquid e would work perfectly fine on AT&T’s network. We’re just saying..
The beautiful HTC Legend, with its unibody build and clean lines, is coming. The guys at Engadget have discovered that the HTC Legend has just cleared the FCC and is packing 850/1900 MHz 3G bands which means its just perfect for AT&T, Rogers, Telus, and other Canadian carriers. Which means that the HTC Legend is on its way to North America. Which is awesome.
We’ve spent some time with the HTC Legend and though it doesn’t pack the spec punch of a Droid Incredible or Evo 4G, its uber-sexy design almost makes up for it. If it heads to AT&T, then AT&T’s currently underwhelming Android lineup becomes instantly respectable. If it heads to Canada, then their already impressive roster of Android phones becomes even more envy inducing. Please AT&T, go and get this phone.
We don’t know if we’re being foolish in believing that Sony Ericsson can hit its target launch date, but the latest report hovering around is that the Xperia X10 Mini & X10 Mini Pro will hit Rogers in May or June. That time frame fits with the original summer timeline we heard previously and considering we felt both devices were ready back in February, it’s not that much of a reach.
Whether Sony Ericsson and Rogers can hit that date is of course another matter, but we’re hopeful they won’t bungle this release like the big brother Xperia X10. Surprisingly, the price of the X10 Mini & X10 Mini Pro on a new 3-year contract is expected to be rather affordable. The X10 Mini is expected to retail for $49.99 and the X10 Mini Pro will be priced at $69.99. That would be a great price point for the miniature versions of a once sought after phone. [mobilesyrup]
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro are both expected to hit Rogers this summer. We’re not denying that it could happen, as when we played with the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro at MWC they both felt ready, but given the ridiculous circumstances that have delayed their big brother device, the Xperia X10, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see these two somehow delayed as well. But maybe, just maybe with the Xperia X10 officially launching on Rogers on April 15th, these two will stay on track. Miracles can happen after all. [mobilesyrup]
Canada’s Rogers network officially launched the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 this morning ($149 with the Canadian-standard 3-year deal), and they made a nice little video to show it off. (Not unlike our nice little hands-on and hardware videos.) Their favorite feature — Timescape — happens to be my least favorite. And Rogers emphasizes that even though the X10 currently runs Android 1.6, it will be getting an update. Eventually. Peep the Rogers video with @RogersMiranda after the break. [Rogers]
The long anticipated Xperia X10 looks like it has finally landed a home for itself on the Rogers network. This device, which we’ve got in-house (and had our hands on not only once, but twice now) doesn’t seem to get more appealing the more you look at it. The Xperia X10 sadly will was released running Android 1.6, but have no fear, it is supposedly going to be joining the real world with Android 2.1. The device will also release with an updated Timescape, and Mediascape, which is a few of the features of the phone that are geared towards social networking. It appears as though you can snag one of these upon release for $149.99 and three years of your life, but don’t worry, they are going to include a 16GB microSD for you! Check out more information about the device as well as pricing after the break. [Rogers Pre-order via Mobile Syrup]
