So after many years it looks like Rogers Communications is finally getting rid of the System Access Fee that is charge on all cell phone plans.  This is great news.  No more $6.95 charge on each plan.

Okay before everyone gets all excited they are not really losing the plan.  The are replacing the 6.95$ fee with another fee called GRFF.  Basically the new fee will be $2.46 to $3.46 depending on which province you are in.  Also according the The Star all plans will be going up $5.  So from what it seems like plans will be more expensive.

Granted Rogers Communications hasn’t made any official announcements yet, but look for one soon on their website.  Another thing is if you are currently under a contract with your cell phone or smartphone plan the old SAF will still apply until your contract runs out or you make a plan change.

That’s right Rogers Communications has just released their new high speed HSPA+ network.  The new network runs at 21Mbps.  This is good news for high speed downloading on wireless devices like laptops and cell phones.

Right now the 21Mbps HSPA+ network is only available in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver but Rogers Communications does plan on expand

Another downside is technically their are no cell phones on the network that take advantage of the 21Mbps HSPA+ network, but Rogers Communication has released a new Mobile Internet Stick that will.

If you’re interested in faster download speeds on your cell phone stay tuned.

So a few months back we saw images for a concept cell phone called the Sony Ericsson KiKi.  It looked different with the transparent screen.  It seemed very futuristic.  Well this week Sony Ericsson did announce the phone.  It is being called the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness.

Now very little is actually known about the Xperia Pureness as Sony Ericsson didn’t give any specs from it.  The release date is expected to be in November and the rumoured price tag is around $1000.

I guess for now we just have to wait and see
