Telus to get EXCLUSIVE Canadian rights to BlackBerry Thunder

By James on Aug 07, 2008 in 8800 series, BlackBerry, Canada, Featured News, RIM, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

This is great news for Telus customers! The latest word is that Telus will be getting an exclusive on the highly anticpated touchscreen BlackBerry Thunder 9500. This means that Telus would join Verizon and Vodafone for a World Wide exclusive. Apparently the rumor has been confirmed by three separate sources, including one from the Globe and Mail stating “On the other hand, Telus is expected to launch (exclusively) a new touch screen BlackBerry this fall, which could steal some of the Bold’s Thunder, albeit temporarily.” in an article called “10 Reasons to Buy Rogers“.

It is expected that the Thunder will launch sometime in October (possibly Oct. 8th) on Verizon and hopefully Telus.

Verizon drops all BlackBerry prices

By James on Aug 05, 2008 in 8800 series, BlackBerry, Curve 8300 Series, Hot Deals, Pearl 8100 Series, USA, Verizon.

That’s right Verizon has dropped all prices on their BlackBerry smartphones. Prices now range from $79.99 to $149.99 with two contracts. So that means now you can get a BlackBerry Pearl 8130 for $79.99, Curve 8330 for $99.99 or 8830 World Edition for $149.99. So either Verizon just wants to push out more BlackBerry devices or they are making room for some new CDMA stuff? Like the dreamy BlackBerry Thunder.

Speaking of launches and Verizon they recently launched their Visual Voicemail service. If you remember we talked about the Visual Voicemail launch and how the Thunder would launch shortly after. If you don’t remember check out that post here.
