why does the ROGERS white PEARL have a TMOBILE unit on the box?

IN case no one else has noticed................
When the 8100/Pearl white was launched, i noticed that the guy in the background was holding a unit that visibly reads TMOBILE.
i thought it was just an error, or a misprint on a few boxes, and checked about 10 units to learn that ALLL the boxes had this flaw.
after months of not having time to post this, i decided to look at some boxes this week and noticed the TMO logo is STILLLLL on the rogers packaging.
so since RIM and/or Rogers havent noticed or cared to fix this, i decided to put them in the spotlight
