WiFi-equipped BlackBerry 8320 on tap for Rogers?

There's an old saying in the wireless industry: "As AT&T goes, so goes Rogers." Actually, that's not a saying, we just made it up -- and it's not terribly accurate, either. But in the case of RIM's BlackBerry Curve 8320, there's at least a little bit of truth to it. New documents floating around indicate that Rogers intends to add the WiFi-packin' version of the Curve to its Talkspot lineup, giving users yet another smartphone option after the 8120 launched earlier this year. It'll apparently be offered in "Sapphire Blue" for $149.99 CAD (about $140) with a launch expected before the month's out.

at least Robbers has a legitimate need to release this device with their Talkspot service. AT&T, on the other hand, seems to want to use the wifi simply as a stopgap for their perpetually delayed Bold release.

Yeah, but why not enable UMA on the Bold? I almost flipped a table when I went to buy a Shadow and found out IN THE STORE that it doesn't do Hotspot @ Home.
