The device is available on all the major carriers with Rogers having a unique model that supports the 2600MHZ LTE radio. The device will run you around $600-$650 outright or $150-$200 on a 3-year contract. Definitely not a bad price given how much is packed into this phone. Keep your eyes peeled as Ryan will be reviewing this unit in the coming weeks.
