"Rogers is new to all this LTE stuff, they are the ONLY carrier in the entire world that has a LTE network that works so well even though its running at merely 20% of its maximum potential"
Why would you say that? Verizon has had LTE available for months now and has nearly 1000% more coverage area than Rogers is even planning on announcing, already available.
Instead of being a smartass and trying to be wise, you should sit back and listen to those who actually know something. LTE has NOTHING to do with coverage, it has NOTHING to do with just saying it has LTE. LTE is all about having a network that can talk, sms browser and do 20 things at the same time. Something verizon is not very good at...Rogers is the ONLY carrier in the world that has a FULLY operationnal LTE network, the only problem is that as of now, they are Throttling the connection to keep it at a low under 50mb/s because there is no need to send out the 100mb/s just yet.
"Rogers will not take reservations unless they already know when the GS2 will be sent to them"
Other carriers are taking pre-orders for the iPhone 5 that hasn't been announced. They can take a pre-order on anything they want. Nothing says they can't.
Again, you are being ignorant and are trying to be a smartass, you should just stop right now before you look ridiculous, i mean you already do, but i meant until you look stupid. There is a major difference between it "BEING OFFICIALLY ANNNOUNCED" and "BEING ANNOUNCED TO CARRIERS". If your logic was trus, the NExus Prime would be open for pre-order on rogers or carriers in the USA, but NO. Apple already knows when the iPhone 5 will be released, so do the carriers. I have a source deep inside Rogers that told me iPhone 5 training has already begun for Apple employees and Rogers tech support, the activation systems are already being setup by technicians and everything should be up and running by October 6th. Also for those of you who are insterested, Rogers employees in montreal are also starting training on the 19th of september for the LTE network, which means that LTE in montreal is imminent, this also confirms why pre-orders for the GS2 LTE are open for people in Quebec.
"Buddy, you have to understand that it's not rogers' responsibility to tell people about the phone, its Samsungs'"
Oh.... My bad. I thought Rogers was the company that I was paying the money to for the product they offer. Didn't realize it should be the manufacturer who is responsible for advertising the item and giving full details on it. I keep forgetting that when the retailer orders the hardware with certain specs, that the manufacturer will sell them something different and not tell anybody.
Last but i'm pretty sure not least, I think you are having major "reality check" issues. When you buy a PS3 or Xbox, or any other electronic, if you need support do you call up your retailer? or the manufacturer? Rogers is a SERVICE PROVIDER, in case you missed it, SERVICE PROVIDER. Rogers are retailers, they sell and distribute phones, but when it comes to support, especially on a device that has not even been released, how tha heck can you blame rogers for not giving you updates on the progress, you think they call up samsung everyday and have discussions on whats happening? No. You pay rogers to provide you with calling services, sms, data and thats IT. they dont sell phones or make em, they are a reseller, they RESELL phones for suppliers and offer services for it. So you pay Rogers for the services you get, not the hardware.
Now, stop being ignorant, wake up and learn. You still are a 18 year old kid living in mama's house who wants his phone to text his friends. The way you think it works, is not the way it works. Either you take it like a man, or you cry about it like a wuss
