So we needed another rocket-stick for a work project, and the folks at Best-Buy sell us what they call ‘the best and newest’ Rocket stick out there, which turns out to be the same old one that I ended up having to return. Rogers still doesn’t seem to have this problem under control. The Sony Ericsson one still doesn’t work on Snow Leopard. It’s disappointing.

I bought my rocket stick in July never worked right since i got it had to restart computer or unplug the stick up to 10 times a day.i finally called them because i had enough They replaced the stick all was good i thought until i got a $950.00 bill because i was not informed about the cap being changed from $100-$500 they said they sent it in a text mess.well of course i didn’t see the new mail icon pop up because i had the stick set up on a computer by it self.I did this because if i used it in the computer i use for everything else my phone would get all choppy (magicjack)and all the restarting i missed it and when i put the new stick in with the same sim card the mess was not showing up So i am guessing the file system is different.The mess. between the 2 sticks are different with the same sim.Now they want this money and $400 on top of it to cancel the contract.Well lets go back to Nov. I got a letter from the manufacture saying the rocket stick i purchased did not meet the Radio Industry Standards Act. So as far as i am concerned there should be not a contract period for something that should not have been sold.But do they care nope they don’t they say it’s not there problem speak to the manufacture well i didn’t buy it from the manufacture i bought it from a Rogers store.There has to be many people out there with this same or close problem and something has to be done to stop these crooks!!!!

When I bought mine in April, I had a month to change my mind and bring it back for no charge. This was in Ottawa.

You should call them and get the new stick. There are now different rocket sticks, and the KDE sticks works with Snow Leopard.

Rodgers the dodger are well known for their coniving — I purchased an open contract paid $200 plus for the stick and the reception was awful kept complaining to well you know the proceedure kept stalling with excuses — decided to cancel return the stick and ask for my $200 back– no way they tell me a month has passed so no returns I’m left with a useless stick and they even had the nerve to send me a bill for the time a good outfit to stay clear of IMO

Bell’s turbo stick did the same when I updated to snow leopard and she told to uninstall snow leopard. I didn’t why should I.
Rogers called yesterday because I bought an iPhone and I tether it. They said would I be interested in getting the Rocket stick and I asked if it would work with Snow Leopard and they didn’t really know. He said I 15 days to try it out and if it didn’t work bring it back. They should know this don’t you think. I just stick with the iPhone.
I still had to pay a penalty at Bell for cancelling the service. I really think these companies should keep up to date. I have a Mac and she said the turbo stick would work with Windows 7 when they upgrade. I wonder if it will. Thanks for answering my question about the rocket stick.
