This info was all outlined in the last dealer meeting with the Rogers higher ups. They had no plan for the 9XXX to be launched in 07. There was specifically questions about the 9XXX and it was clear that as of right now its not in their cards. Unless someone changes something or Ted Rogers demands it things will stay the same. Regular reps and most corp reps will not know this info. Maybe some silver certifed reps will know and really depends.

Rim and Rogers does have a strong relationship, no doubt we were the one of the 1st carriers to back Rim and support them to their fullest. If its doable and Rim will be ready for Rogers and Rogers tests enough we will see it sooner. But the bigger carriers like t-mobile or cingular usually take up the large orders and leave Rogers as not such a large priority to Rim. Rogers should have had the pearl and 8700 before the US carriers but the manufacture bumped all Canadian orders for the US carriers. Unfair? Maybe but they make so much more money from the US compared to Canada.

Unless something is confirmable, we really shouldnt speculate.
