Word on the street is that the Rogers will will launch the BlackBerry Bold up in Canada on July 15th. BlackBerry Cool reader RogersDude69 is reporting that Rogers is holding a series of BlackBerry Launch Events for business executives.

One could presume that this launch will be for a device that actually has been announced so we believe that it is a pretty good bet that the it will be the BlackBerry Bold.

Red BlackBerry Pearl Available On Rogers

Robb Dunewood — Wed, 09 May 2007 13:47:17 +0000

Rogers is now offering the Red BlackBerry Pearl available for $249.99 with a 3-year contract for BlackBerry users that want a little flare in their device. There really wasn’t any big announcement about the Red BlackBerry Pearl, from RIM or from Rogers. It just kind of came out quietly in the night.

I wish that Verizon would do something like this. Just have BlackBerry Pearl, be it red, white, black, grey, two-toned, just show up on their web page with a price.

Rogers BlackBerry 8800 Pricing

Robb Dunewood — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 18:12:22 +0000

The BlackBerry Pearl is on Rogers Site and will cost $799 Canadian without a contract, $599 on a two year contract, or $499 on a three year contract. All that is left to find out is when is the Rogers BlackBerry 8800 coming out?

The March 7th date has come and passed so all we can tell you is eventually, sooner than later, or sometime between now and then. I wouldn’t be shocked to see some Canadian BlackBerry users buying Cingular BlackBerry 8800 devices and getting them unlocked to work on Rogers if Rogers themselves don’t start selling the 8800 soon.
