Rogers to Release Samsung Galaxy S Glide for the Holidays

by Alvin Ybañez on Sep 23, 2011 0 Comments">0

Canadians may have to update their holiday wishlists as a new Samsung Android smartphone is heading their way via Rogers–the Samsung Galaxy S Glide. MobileSyrup.com, which was sent live photos of the device, was also told that the Samsung Galaxy S Glide will hit Rogers “just in time for the holidays.” Unfortunately, no pricing information is available yet. The Samsung Galaxy S Glide carries a name apt for its 4-row gliding QWERTY keyboard. The device is reportedly thicker than the Samsung Infuse 4G, presumably because of the sliding keyboard. The QWERTY slider smartphone runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread on top of …

Rogers faces another setback with its Android handsets.

Update: Rogers HTC Magic upgrade offer

by Chuck Zich on Jan 13, 2010 10 Comments">10

It was reported a few days ago that Rogers would be allowing HTC Dream owners the chance to upgrade to an HTC Magic due to the fact that the Dream would not get an OS update past it’s current iteration of 1.5. This was great news but the details were scarce at the time and there was uncertainty in the terms. It is now being reported that the offer does include a free upgrade, but with a small catch. Customers who opt for the upgrade will automatically have their contract renewed for the Canadian standard of 3 years, which turns …

by Chuck Zich on Jan 11, 2010 4 Comments">4

Word out of Canada is that Rogers feels for those early adopters of the HTC Dream.

No word yet on any details including whether or not users will have to succumb to a new multi-year contract or not. The official statement from Rogers is this: “It’s great to hear that everyone is pleased by HTC’s agreement to upgrade Magic …

HTC Hero approved by the FCC with AT&T 3G

by Michael Oryl on Jul 03, 2009 2 Comments">2

It appears as though EngadgetMobile has spotted a version of the HTC Hero with 850/1900MHz 3G support for AT&T’s network on the U.S. government’s FCC website. This does not necessarily mean that we will see that version of the device sold in this country, though. Often devices are approved by the FCC even when they don’t go on sale here. So while this is certainly cause for hope, we had heard already that an 850/1900MHz UMTS version of the device was going to be available, so it could certainly just be a version headed to Rogers in Canada, for example. We simply …

Canadian carrier Rogers has just trotted out its own version of the HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1.

You’ll find a few more photos after the jump, but head on over to Engadget Mobile to see the full gallery.
