In the January 2011 issue of Consumer Reports, the group provides a solid analysis of different mobile phones and wireless carriers.

When I purchased the iPhone 3G from Rogers back in 2008, the 3G network performed like one. Everything was lightning quick and I was amazed at how fast data was on my new iPhone. As iPhone data subscribers multiplied with the subsequent release of the iPhone 3GS and this year's iPhone 4, speeds have suffered...

As a result, we test many concepts and ideas with our customers. Sometimes we're actually considering launching...

Here's a video from earlier today of Mobilicity staging a rally outside Rogers' headquarters.

In other words, customers would be eligible for new device (promotional) pricing at month 30 since their initial activation or upgrade. With the 30-month change, customers...

Rogers really had me fooled for a while. For about the last 12 months, they have managed to stay out of the negative light and basically stopped changing their policies for the worse. Well, I guess they just couldn't wait any longer to make some horrible changes. Effective today, Rogers is changing their hardware upgrade...

The first trial by Rogers...

The Rogers network contacted us yesterday about their ambitions to begin the first LTE technical trial in Canada, which will take place in Ottawa. Why Ottawa? That's because Rogers is teaming up with Ericsson Canada at their R&D facilities. We've had some discussion about LTE before. Here's some info from the Rogers Redboard: What is...
