BlackBerry Storm to land at Rogers in time for Christmas? (Updated)

BlackBerry Storm

According to BlackBerryCool.com, Rogers Wireless will launch the BlackBerry Storm in time for Christmas. The revelation came during a call with a Rogers Customer Service Representative. Details are few but, if indeed true, Rogers could launch the Storm as early as next month.

There are a couple of facts that work against this rumour. First, would front-line CSRs really confirm a new product before a formal announcement? But more significantly, would Rogers really release a device that does not support both HSDPA and Wi-Fi. The 9530 does not support HSDPA at all and the 9500 only comes the 2100MHz UMTS/HSPA band which is not offered in North America. If the rumour is true, could a third model be lurking somewhere in the shadows?

Both Bell Mobility and Telus Mobility have already announced that they will offer the BlackBerry Storm.

Update: The Boy Genius Report has received confirmation from Rogers Wireless that the BlackBerry Storm is not headed to Rogers.
