BlackBerry Bold Unboxed with Barely Controlled Enthusiasm
CrackBerry has a video unboxing of the BlackBerry Bold from Rogers, showing it side-by-side with other BlackBerry phones as well as the King iPhone. No real surprises here, as the Bold hasn't changed since our hands-on, but it's always nice to see a shiny new gadget emerge from its cardboard home. [Crackberry] -

BlackBerry Bold Hits Rogers in Just Two Days: Aug. 21
RIM, why have you forsaken us? With no date or price yet for the US, Rogers has just confirmed that the BlackBerry Bold will launch in RIM's backyard on Thursday. They didn't release pricing info, but a leaked flyer on Friday that looked pretty damn legit pegged it at $399. Since it's launching 'round the world by the end of this week, odds are we'll be getting US launch details soonish. [Reuters] -

Rogers BlackBerry Bold Price Does Not Bode Well
Our Canuck neighbors might be getting the BlackBerry Bold before we do, but they'll be paying through the nose for it—$399.99 on a three-year contract according to a leaked flyer. While Rogers does tend to run higher than the US on smartphones (though they are offering the iPhone 3G for $199), this does seem to dash any hope of seeing it below $300 on AT&T, or $249 in an aggressive pricing scenario.

Yao Ming Sized BlackBerry Bold Comes With Rogers' Launch Kit
BlackBerry News found this Rogers launch kit of the BlackBerry Bold somewhere up in Canada. So not only is Rogers getting it earlier than AT&T, whose launch is ridiculously mired in delays, but they're getting a gigantic murder-sized version of the phone as well? We say murder-sized because that's exactly the tool we see cellphone store employees being bludgeoned to death with by frustrated customers. Even Mr. Monk wouldn't be able to figure out what the murder weapon was. [BlackBerry News] -

Rogers Caves, Offers 6GB iPhone 3G Monthly Data Plan for $30
Canucks screamed, Rogers listened. Word from the North this morning is that Rogers will be offering a promotional 6GB data plan for $30 bucks a month if you activate a three-year contract before August 31—not the unlimited data we Yanks will be using, but pretty close. Click on for the full release from the horse's mouth. [Rogers]

Apple Not Selling iPhones in Canadian Apple Stores on Launch Day
Apple's apparently so fed up with the high pricing that Rogers is shoving into Canadian iPhone owners' faces that there will be no iPhone 3Gs sold at Apple Stores in Canada this Friday. This follows up Apple's previous action of diverting stock from Canada to Europe, and really sets the tone that they're unhappy with Rogers' $60 for 150 minutes, 75 SMS messages and 400MB data plan. So what's the deal? Canadians who still want one will have to line up early to get one of the 10-20 units per store that Rogers is getting. If we were you, we'd stay home and wait for Rogers to admit defeat, stop slapping its customers in the face and lower its prices. [Apple Insider]

Canadian Carrier Rogers Getting BlackBerry Bold June 25, Way Ahead of AT&T?
Boy Genius is hearing that Canadian carrier Rogers is launching the BlackBerry Bold as early as June 25—a month or more ahead of the July/August release we've been hearing for AT&T in the U.S., where it has first dibs. We hope they're either wrong or AT&T's dropping it quicker than expected, since we hate it when the Canucks beat us at anything. BGR says nothing on RIM's end is holding up the launch. We can't figure it out—it's not like there's another big phone launching in the next couple weeks or anything that AT&T would want to clear space for. [BGR] More » -

iPhone Headed for Canada This Month?
Attention friends to the Great White North: the Apple iPhone is rumored to be coming your way by middle of this month. The leak is said to come from an insider at Canadian fashion specialty department store Holt Renfrew, and the 8GB GSM iPhone will reportedly sell for $799. If these rumors are true, and we have no reason to believe so, that'll be double the price of the iPhone in the U.S.! [Digital Journal] -

Oh Noes! Only 5000 Pink RAZRs In Canada!
If you're a neighbor to the north, you best run down to your local Rogers dealer so you can pre-order a pink RAZR. Only 5000 will be available for pre-order and last I checked, it's hip to have a pink RAZR, so make haste. Why should you get one though? Easy. $25 from each phone is donated to breast cancer research, so you're doing something good while trying to be the next Vincent Chase from Entourage. Of course if you're really cheap you could make a $5 donation to breast cancer research and buy a faceplate off eBay. More »
