Well maybe its not really in the wild, but its in Canada! A couple new photos of the “unreleased” highly secret BlackBerry Storm 9550 for TELUS have leaked. The photos show the CDMA model 9550, sporting EVDO and Wi-Fi, not HSPA like some were hoping. Still no word on when this device is launching, but if you head to nearly any TELUS store you will notice the Storm2 ads inside. We can only assume it will be launching within the next few weeks (maybe November 24th?). Anyway so final confirmation says TELUS will be launching the 9550, not 9520, and it will be running OS 5.0.0.320. Keep checking back for more details when we get them.

I am VERY disappointed the new device will be CDMA for Telus. I was patiently waiting for this device and now will be looking at something else. CDMA is for all purposes dead in Canada. Why Balckberry would do this is beyond me. It will obviously hurt the sales of the device. Nothing to get excited about here.
It is a little disappointing that TELUS will be releasing the CDMA model, however if sales do well with this model, maybe they will realize HSPA is the way to go.
