Grab it now for a cool $250 CDN (about $213) on three-year agreement."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20070321-Rogers.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />While it's true that it's listed on their website and you can <a href="http://www.shoprogers.com/store/wireless/products/phones/products_details.asp?shopperID=TBJPMRSAK2TN9JVBFKA8DBJ507490B66&PRODUCTID=S621R&summary=1">view it right now.</a> I can't seem to be able to browse to it. I'm thinking the official launch is still a couple days away. Regardless, it's nice to see Rogers pick up a new hot device like the Excalibur and get it out on their network inside of 6 months from the actual device release date. Unfortuantely, it's listed as a Windows Mobile 5 device. I sure hope that they plan to release an upgrade for it - but I wouldn't count on it. If anyone manages to buy this, please let us know!
