Rogers loves BlackBerry: Pink Curve, OS 4.5, and BlackBerry Bold oh my!

Rogers seems on a roll with it's good friends at RIM as we're seeing a bevy of release news and noteworthy stuff from them recently. Up at bat are the potential launch of the BlackBerry Bold on June 17th, the UMA-enabled Pearl 8120 that ships with OS 4.5, and the BlackBerry Curve in a new, pinker flavor. Pricing on the UMA-enabled 8120 is set at $149 on three years and while it does tout WiFi for the Rogers Home Zone, it won't work to get you on the Internet -- can we get a rousing raspberry for Rogers? The BlackBerry Curve 8310 is unchanged except for its new, softer pink aesthetic and is shipping for $199 if you're up to a 3-year stint on Canada's only GSM network. Not much new on the Bold, though we expect if that launch date is solid, we'll hear more real soon.

Comon an bring a successor to that old Curve. We need a Curve size/style phone with the power of the Bold.

"if you're up to a 3-year stint on Canada's only GSM network"
Dont forget Fido.
Its nice to finally see some popular phones hit the Canadian market.

Fido is wholly owned and operated by Rogers. Calling Rogers "Canada's only GSM network" is the unfortunate truth... for now.
