it seems like Rogers is finally getting around to expanding its rather anemic selection of UMA-enabled Talkspot phones, informing dealers that they can expect delivery of the t336 from Samsung in the next few days. The phone — a dead ringer for T-Mobile’s similiarly-equipped t339 — should offer a 1.3-megapixel camera, 220 x 176 primary and 96 x 96 secondary displays, stereo Bluetooth, and most importantly, a WiFi radio for hookin’ on up to your router. Looks like it’ll run $49.99 CAD (about $47) on a three-year deal when it starts filtering into stores later this week, assuming everything goes well.

Get this. Australian site ChannelNews claims that a “senior executive of Telstra” is the latest 3G iPhone bean spiller. They quote the exec as saying the following:
“We know what is coming we have seen the new device and it will be available on our network as soon as it is launched in the u.a. By Christmas this phone will be capable of 42Mbps which will make it faster than a lot of broadband offerings and the fastest iPhone on any network in the world.”
engaging attention. We know that Telstra’s Next G HSDPA network has been capable of 14.4Mbps since 2007. At GSMA Mobile World Congress, they even committed to 21Mbps before the end of the year and 42Mbps using HSPA+ (aka, Evolved HSPA, HSPA Evolution) technology in 2009… not Christmas of 2008. Hard to say if this is just industry blow-harding or actual insider info. June 9th: T-minus 17 days and counting.
