Motorola RAZR HD Verizon launch imminent at Canada launch

By Dave LeClair

The Motorola RAZR HD LTE just launched on Rogers for $100 with a three-year contract or $599.99 outright. The device is also coming to Verizon Wireless soon after. Rumors are making the rounds that the device could hit US shores through Verizon as soon as later this month. We are thinking the device is going to go for $199 with a two-year contract. Rogers requires three-years, which equates to a lower price. The device comes with Android 4.0 ICS installed, and it will be upgraded to Jelly Bean shortly thereafter. It has a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED HD Display with a 1280 X 720 resolution. It also has an eight megapixel camera that is capable of grabbing 1080p video. SMARTACTIONS, already appearing on several recent devices from the manufacturer, improving the battery life with features based on time, GPS location, and more. It is designed to conserve energy and allow users to enjoy their phone for a full day, instead of having to stop in the middle of the day to plug their device in. Who doesn't like a longer lasting battery? The MAXX HD could launch at the same time. It is almost identical to the RAZR HD, but it features a massive 3,300 mAh battery. This extra large battery promises 21 hours of talk time. Because of the extra large battery, it is about one millimeter thicker than the RAZR HD. As always, we will keep you posted on all things RAZR HD and RAZR MAXX as they develop. [timeline] [via Mobilesyrup]

Acer Liquid E to be Priced at $49.99 from Rogers

By David Junior
on 3 May, 2010

This June, the Acer Liquid E will be launching for $49.99 on Rogers Wireless. All you have to do to get this get deal is sign away 3 years of your life. Off-contract, the phone will be costing customers $349.99, and that’s not a bad deal. I would opt for the full price rather than being stuck with the same phone for 3 years. As fast as technology moves, this phone will be dated by the time you’re a third of the way done with your contract.

AT&T and Rogers Wireless Nexus One launches

By Chris Davies
on 16 Mar, 2010

It's taken them long enough to deliver, but Google have finally added a version of the Nexus One with support for AT&T and Rogers Wireless' 3G/UMTS bands. Priced at the same $529 as the original Nexus One, the new handset supports the 850/1900/2100MHz frequencies as well as being quadband GSM. The addition follows news reports from analysts that sales figures of the original Nexus One have been particularly disappointing, with only 135,000 devices shipped in the first 74 days it was on sale. One of the key criticisms of Google has been that they failed to add in AT&T support, leaving Nexus One buyers only able to use T-Mobile in the US if they wanted 3G connectivity. So far there's no sign of a subsidized AT&T/Rogers Nexus One on Google's phone site. [Thanks Toby!]
