    Purported Rogers Phone Roadmap Makes Me Want To Move To Canada (Not Really)

    Who says Canada sucks for gadget lovers? This leaked Rogers/Fido roadmap says they'll get just about everything next year, including a 3G Blackberry Pearl Flip and a Storm with (ohgod) Wi-Fi.

    The full handset list, as transcribed by BGR, is here:

    * Blackberry 82XX Pearl Flip (3G version of 8220 Pearl Flip but with GPS, WiFi, and video calling)
    * Blackberry 9520 Storm (North American 3G GSM bands and 802.11 b/g WiFi)
    * HTC Touch 3G
    * HTC Touch Pro
    * HTC Touch Viva
    * Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5
    * Motorola Q11
    * Motorola VE66
    * Nokia N79
    * Nokia N85
    * Nokia N96
    * Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
    * Samsung M8800 Pixon
    * Sony Ericsson Xperia X1a
    * Sony Ericsson C905

    Some prices are still sometime horrific, natch, but this handset selection—which includes the hitherto unheard of 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi Pearl Flip and Wi-Fi Storm handsets—provides some relief for the long, dark winter of the gadget soul that is life in Canada. [HowardForums via BGR]
