Rogers Prepaid Adds Samsung J706 and Sony Ericsson W200a

Just because you want to be on a “Pay as you Go” plan with your Rogers phone doesn’t mean that you have to be stuck with a crappy handset. To help usher in the back to school season, Rogers has added a couple of youthful handsets to the prepaid collection.

Presented in a “magazine style setting to attract a youth audience”, the Samsung J706 slider phone is priced at $114.99 and comes equipped with a 1.3 megapixel camera, FM radio, MP3 player, and Bluetooth.

The Sony Ericsson W200a candybar is the first Walkman phone to be sold on a Pay as you Go basis in Canada. Priced at $99 (after $50 mail-in rebate), the W200a gets an MP3 player, VGA camera, and a video player.
