Nokia has published their official web site of the C series phone, Nokia C3 “Coming Soon”, It will be launched with Rogers.

Nokia C3 Rogers

Price is not brought up that this phone will be sold, but smartpohone comes with some this great feature:

- 2.4 inches display (resolution of 320 x 240)
- customizable home screen
- 3.5 mm audio jack
- holds up to 8GB with a microSD card
- 2 megapixel camera with video

Nokia states the “Nokia C3 brings you closer to your friends and online communities
with easy messaging features and a fast, reliable internet connection”. This also has built-in WiFi.

Rogers has made some changes to their hardware upgrade program (HUP) that is effective today. The note we received is that “Rogers customers will now be eligible for the same pricing as new customers on all devices at 24 months since initial activation or last upgrade.

Any upgrades are still subject to a lovely $35 administration fee, but the nuts and bolts of it is that it’s faster to upgrade to a new device, it just depends on which new category you choose. Rogers has created 5 “device categories” that consist of: voice (classic phones); quick messaging devices; BlackBerry; other smartphones; and iPhone

Rogers states that:

all customers will be eligible for an upgrade to select basic voice phones at a discount after 12 months, and our full range of devices including higher-end smart phones after 24 months. What’s new is that customers with a higher average monthly spend may be eligible for smartphones even sooner.

So far we have been staying out of the speculation field on different Bold release dates that have been floating around. On the other hand I just got some hard evidence from one of our readers Oren that the Bold will be released on Vodaphone on July 30th. I know this is later than the rumored Rogers or AT&T release but so far I can’t confirm or deny that. Hopefully Vodaphone readers will be happy about the news.
