A leaked document post on HowardForums by “Tomo-Pyon” shows four new phones coming to the discount carrier including launch pricing and approximate dates.
Not quite sure how legitimate the document is due to the spelling error at the top “Launchs” not “Launches”. I guess time will tell, maybe Fido just needs to hire some proof-readers.

Rogers has added two new handsets to accompany the Motorola Extreme VA76 in their rugged line-up. The Samsung Rugby A836 and ZTE Rock F165 are now available-check out images, descriptions, and pricing by hitting the more link.
The Samsung Rugby A836 is…
a heavy-duty work phone that makes it easy to get the job done right, with a large external speaker, 3G high-speed data
access where available, access to e-mail, instant messaging, HTML browser and more. Its rugged design is highly durable and damage resistant. The Samsung
Rugby is certified to U.S Military Standard MIL-STD-810F compliance for dust, shock, vibration, rain, humidity, solar radiation, altitude and temperature
extremes (from – 21C degrees to +63C degrees).
Current pricing on a 3 year term is $149.99.
The ZTE Rock F165…
enables access to e-mail and mobile Internet and is also

It appears the Samsung t336 is stepping aside to make room for the Samsung f266. Pictured on the Samsung Canada website with Fido branding I think it is safe to say this is not a rumor but a confirmation. Check out the picture below and follow the link to see the f266 on the Samsung website.
The Samsung Canada website says the following about the f266:
Sleek and skinny from the outside—and jam packed on the inside! From music to movie clips, the SAMSUNG f266 lets you do it all. Store up to 8 GB of your fave songs with expandable memory and play it all back on the built-in MP3 player. Take photos and video with the 2.0 megapixel camera and Bluetooth® lets you almost-instantly share clips with friends. You’re always in the loop with the f266.
No word yet on pricing or launch date.

Rumor has it that Koodo Mobile (a division of Telus Mobility) will be discontinuing one existing phone model to make room for two new devices. The Motorola VE20, which is a remodeled RAZR, will be replaced in discontinued KRZR. The Motorola KRZR is currently marked down to $150 to get rid of stock. The Samsung m540 should also be launching around the same time as the VE20. Look for these two new devices within the first two weeks of February.

3 year term: $199.99
2 year term: $299.99
1 year term: $349.99
no contract: $399.99
