Confirmed: Rogers Wireless will not carry the BlackBerry Storm

Okay, time to put the final nail in the coffin of a stupid rumor that we reported on yesterday, one that some took a little too seriously. When we reported the rumor of the BlackBerry Storm heading to Rogers for Christmas we were confident that it was nothing more than the word of a few uneducated customer service reps. However, as a lot of major blogs picked up the story we felt it needed to be addressed and put down. Turns out we were right in doing so. An email was sent to us today by Elizabeth Hamilton, spokesperson for Rogers Wireless confirmed that the Storm is not heading to Rogers.

Saw your post and you’re right, the customer service representative made a mistake. As you know, I won’t comment in advance on what our holiday lineup has in store, but I can confirm it does not include the BlackBerry Storm.

There you have it, folks. The Storm will not be coming to Rogers this year. End of story.
