Today is the big day we’ve all been waiting for! The Rogers Revolution is here and Canada is going to finally get a taste of the Android OS through two phones: the HTC Magic and Dream.
Both of these phones are being offered exclusively by Rogers in Canada. The Magic is going to be priced at $149 (edit) on a 3 year contract, while the Dream (the original G1 from T-Mobile) will be $149 on a 3 year contract.
Since it is launch day, expect your local Rogers dealer/store to have limited availability. Don’t forget you can try calling Rogers Customer Service and order your Dream/Magic over the phone too.
If you’re lucky enough to get one on launch day, we would be happy to post your unboxing pictures on our blog! Send us some photos to androidincanada [at] gmail dot com!
New Value Pack Announced on Android Launch Day
Here is a new Value Pack announced by Rogers today that you can apply to your new Android account:
$20 Smartphone Value Pack (was $15)
– Caller Display with Name Display
– Enhanced Voicemail
– WhoCalled Service
– Unlimited sent/received Text Messages (was 2500)
– Unlimited sent/received Picture and Video Messages (was 1000)
What can we say folks, but our cellphone rates seem to be going up and up! I guess that is the price we pay when there is only one GSM carrier in this country. Please let us know what Android phone you bought, and your plan details!
Rogers Revolution Android Page–it’s a great resource, confirms 6GB/$30 data plan!
