BlackBerry Storm coming to Rogers before Christmas
We had heard briefly that the BlackBerry Storm would be coming to Rogers back in August, but we’ve got further confirmation that all three of Canada’s carriers will be getting the touchscreen BlackBerry before the end of the year. Bell and Telus have been pretty open about supporting the BlackBerry 9530, but we haven’t heard a peep from Rogers about the BlackBerry 9500. To date, Vodafone is the only GSM carrier to be launching the Storm, but with world phone capabilities, network technology is a bit of a moot point.
Good on Rogers for lining this one up, but they’ll need to be a little more vocal about the BlackBerry Storm than they’ve historically been with new devices if they want to hype it as well as the competition.
Latest updating news for BlackBerry Storm:
Sometimes news can come from the craziest sources: internal leaks, html sniffing, etc. Sometimes all it takes is a direct phone call! After friend of the site RogersDude69 tipped us off that Rogers had given callcenter employees a specific script to read when customers ask about touch screen BlackBerrys (i.e., the BlackBerry Storm), we just had to call ourselves and see what was up.
The audio below confirms that Rogers will carry the BlackBerry Storm 9500, and that we’ll see it before Christmas (hopefully in November)! Apologies to the extremely helpful customer service rep who was the subject of my ruse.
