Android

Sorry if this is a silly question. I went to the device reservation to reserve the Nexus Prime, however I only have a choice of iPhone or LTE Smartphone, neither which, obviously, has the Nexus Prime. I understand that it should be under a catagory called Android, but I dont see that in the list.

Anyone know how to see that list?

In the dropdown menu there's an Android option. 

I'd show you a screenshot but Rogers is down for maintenance. 

What I want to know is why Bell is getting the phone FIRST AGAIN?

Bell is getting the phone first BECAUSE Bell paid top dollar to do the exclusive launch for it. Rogers i am guessing did not want to spend that much. This is why everyone is switching to bell. Bell seems to carr about its costumers with better plans and treat its costumera right. They also get phones that Rogers does not get.

I actually just came FROM Bell due to the fact that I get dropped calls and lousy service in and around my house... which is in the middle of a saburban area, while Rogers gives me 5 bars, even in my basement.

I don't see the Android option, here is a screenshot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/828/phonex.png/

I only have a choice of a LTE smartphone, or iPhone. Anyone know why I don't see Android? I really want to register for the Nexus Prime...

Weird i can see the Android option on mine. I am guessing either you are not allowed to get one Or rogers is taking it off because a lot of people reserved it.

But I assume since you can see the option, then they haven't taken it down due to demand. I'm wondering if it's because i'm not a contract customer. I want to wait until I can purchase the Nexus before going into a contract, so I get the subsidised pricing.

Yea you need to be on a contract in order to get to reserve it. It says it under the FAQ.

The Rogers Reservation System helps existing postpaid Rogers wireless customers secure a place “in line” for select devices without having to visit a store or call us.

So I can only seserve it, and get it for the subsidised pricing if I'm renewing a contract, not signing one for the first time? That seems silly to me... The only reason I will sign a contract again is to get this phone at the contract pricing on the release day.

*Edit*

I guess it makes sense they want to reward long time customers first, actually it's more than most of these companies do, usually rewarding the new customers with killer deals. Oh Well, thank you for your help!

Yea but remember the Reservation system has problems. Look around on the forums & see how many people have not gotten their phones yet. iPhone 4S reservation was a disaster. S2 LTE reservation was a disaster. I rather just walk into a store & get it there.

Do you thik it wil be possible to just walk in a Rogers store on release day and get one? I'm kind of new to the android scene (iPhone until now) and hope it's not a ridiculous as the iPhone 4 and 4s lineups and waits were.
