Carriers in the United States are very much familiar with Visual Voicemail.  Several carriers support the feature, while some do not.  In Canada, the very popular Rogers Wireless will start offering Visual Voicemail Plus starting next month (February) for BlackBerry users, except the Bold 9700 and Torch 9800.  To access, it will be available in an application called Visual Voicemail Plus, which I’m guessing is going to get pushed to BlackBerry smartphones with a home screen link or may require a manual download.

Visual voicemail for Rogers customers is expected to cost the same as non-visual voicemail is currently.  Once again, we’ll be expecting to see it in February.

Rogers Wireless in Canada just released the all new BlackBerry Bold 9790.  As far as pricing goes, you can get it as low as $99 on a 3-year contract, $349 on a 2-year contract, $399 on a 1-year contract, and $449 with no strings attached.  You can order yours online now, not sure about in store but if you drop by a Rogers store, let us know!

It looks like Rogers is getting the BlackBerry Bold 9790.  The device should be making its way to various carriers in no time!  MobileSyrup got a leaked document showing the full pricing of the BlackBerry Bold 9790 Rogers.  The pricing is as follows:

• 3-year contract: $99.99 (with a $45/monthly voice and data plan)
• 2-year contract: $349.99
• 1-year contract: $399.99
• No-contract: $449.99

With the BlackBerry Bold 9900 available, does the 9790 appeal to your interest at all? Some prefer the 9790 form factor over the larger 9900 device, but specs play a big role as well.

The BlackBerry Bold 9790 has yet again made more presence online, this time indicating that it’s headed to Rogers in Canada.  Along with that we see the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and BlackBerry Curve 9360 both arriving in white as well to Rogers.  It would be nice to see an official announcement from RIM already on the new Bold 9790 and the way the leaks are going it could be a matter of a few weeks until we see that happen.  The Bold 9900 and Curve 9360 have both been seen in white before so it’s not a huge deal seeing this one, but a plus for those who were waiting for it to get to Rogers.

The all new BlackBerry Curve is spreading around the world rapidly to different carriers.  It comes in three flavors – the 9350, 9360, and 9370.  The most popular one is the 9360 since it is GSM and that’s what many carriers have announced so far.  Rogers pricing for the Curve 9360 has leaked out.  Just like Virgin Mobile, you can pick it up for $349.99 with no contract or $49.99 with a three year.  On a one year contract you’ll dish out $149.99 and then the two year gives you $149.99.  To me none of the prices seem bad at all, but keep in mind this is a low end BlackBerry.  At the same time, the specs aren’t so low as it sports a NFC chip, OS 7, 800MHz and 480 x 360 display.

Rogers has just introduced a new plan for BlackBerry users called My10 BlackBerry Social.  For a sum of $42.75, you’ll get 150 anytime minutes, free nights starting at 6pm, free weekends, call up to 10 people for free (in Canada), and unlimited Facebook, Twitter, and BBM.  It’s a pretty good deal but the downside is that it’s only available for the BlackBerry Bold 9780, Curve 9300 or Curve 8520.  If you were looking to score an OS 7 device with this plan, it looks like a no go.  The My10 plan requires a three year contract as well.

Along with Virgin Mobile, Telus and Rogers have also made their announcement in launching the BlackBerry Curve 9360 in the near future.  So there’s three Canadian carriers off the bat that are guaranteed to get it.  We previously saw leaked screenshots showing a BlackBerry Curve 9360 launching for Bell, but the carrier has yet to say something about it yet.  I’m sure in a few hours we’ll see Bell come out of the closet and make their announcement on the new device.  Of course the GSM carriers in the United States haven’t made any mention of it.  All we have is Sprint who was first to announce the CDMA Curve 9350 earlier this morning.  Telus announced the device fresh on their site while Rogers made a quick announcement on Twitter.

Rogers has officially launched the BlackBerry Torch 9860 today.  The price goes for as low as $199 on a 3 year plan.  As for the rest of the pricing, its $424 on a 2 year, and $474 on a 1 year.  If you want to buy it out right with no contract it’s $524.  The Torch 9860 is the all touchscreen device bringing the highest screen resolution ever seen in a BlackBerry smartphone before.  Click the link below to check out more from Rogers on the new BlackBerry Torch 9860.

With RIM’s official announcements of the new elite BlackBerry 7 OS devices, the BlackBerry Torch 9810 was spotted in both black and white.  When it launched for Rogers, we didn’t see white available but it looks like a week later it’s available.  On a three year contract, you can get the white BlackBerry Torch 9810 for only $199.99.  Click the link below for more details.
