Rogers uses GSM and none of the TELUS networks (PCS, iDen, HSPA) will support it.

No. Not yet anyway. Telus is transitioning to a different technology, but right now Telus works on the CDMA cellular network while Rogers works on the GSM network. These aren't interchangeable and a Rogers phone won't work on the Telus network and vice versa.

Isn't that what the previous post said?

Kinda sorta. Just to clarify, TELUS is ADDING a new technology to its current offering of CDMA (PCS) and iDen (MiKE). The HSPA network should be up and running in a few weeks and will offer high-speed data service as well as voice service. Phones/devices will be network specific and are not inter-changeable. Some GSM phones will work with TELUS' HSPA network.
