(And, of course, you don't pay $79.99).
However, the CSR did let it slip that she heard that Rogers was "moving away from Android". Whether this was conveyed to her as an internal communication, heard as a water cooler rumour, or if it was a mixup with the whole 911 thing, I will take it at face value and assume that Rogers will downplay the Sony X10 and avoid future Android phones.
Looks like Telus is the only one who can satisfy our Android needs now...

I'm wondering if by moving away from Android she actually meant moving away from HTC devices. You have to admit, HTC shafted Rogers with the Dream and Magic.
Once attention started to turn to LG , just look at how quick they stepped up to the plate and offered a 1.6 update to the EVE. If I was a carrier that is the company that I would rather deal with.
But this is only my opinion, could be Rogers will let Android die a slow death and only carry the devices that they are committed to presently. Only time will tell.
