Rogers Wireless launches HTC Touch
Rogers' website has seen some updates -- and lordy, have they been busy -- in the last couple days and our mention that the HTC Touch was coming seemed to have been bang on. Pricing is rumored to be $349 on a 3 year data only plan, $299 on a 3 year voice plan or $199 on voice and data. So if you're looking for a non-3G Windows Mobile handset -- and we feel for ya if you are -- keep refreshing the read link 'til the handset goes live.

Ugh, 201 Mhz and 2G. The CDMA users get a much better deal.

*twirls finger* Whoopie!
Although I guess if Rogers isn't going to play nice with Apple to bring the iPhone to Canada, as least they're giving their customers something to touch!

Actually...
It's $399 on a 1-year term, $349 on a 2-year term and $199 on a 3-year term and select voice + data packages.
And while it may not have HSDPA, it does have WiFi, so at least there's that. Not to mention that WMP10 supports AAC, AAC+ eAAC+, MP3, WMA, WAV, QCELP, MIDI, MPEG4, AMR-NB and AMR-WB. That's a healthy dose of codecs out of the gate.

Hey Khris, why don't you twirl your finger up your ass seeing that you are talking out of it! The name "iPhone" is apparently owned by another company in Toronto. Rumour has it Apple is already going with Rogers, but we will have to wait til the name issue clears up!
