fido_logo

The folks over at BGR are reporting that Fido employees will start BlackBerry sales training as early as next week.  This is great news for Fido customers but now heres the bad part. Rumor has it Fido will be launching the Pearl 8100 (yes 8100 not 8110 or 8120) then followed by several other models such as Pearl Flip and Curve 8900 down the road. We aren;t too sure why Fido is launching the classic Pearl 8100… Maybe it’s to bring BlackBerry at a low cost with a two year term? or BGR seems to think they might just be using up what is left of Rogers’ Pearl 8100 stock. Who knows. Regardless Fido will be offering BlackBerry within the next month or so.

They may have been a little behind due to the Storm launch but TELUS Mobility today released OS 4.5. They have released OS 4.5.0.77 for both the Pearl 8130 and Curve 8330.

Simply download the update then connect your BlackBerry to the Desktop Manager software.

BlackBerry coming to Fido very soon?

By James on Nov 21, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, Fido, Pearl 8100 Series, Pearl Flip 8200 Series, Rumors.

Rogers’ budget brand Fido under went some crazy re branding lately. A new rumor has arrived over at BGR and apparently Fido is trying to push out their first BlackBerry smartphone for this Christmas season. Earlier this year Fido killed off their BlackBerry Connect service which only ran on the Nokia E62. Apparently Fido might follow a similar suit to both Solo and Virgin Mobile by offering the Pearl as their first BlackBerry.

One interesting note is Fido seems to want to launch the Pearl 8120, the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry. After the Holiday season Fido may launch the BlackBerry Pearl Flip as well.

Canada’s hot BlackBerry deals! $0 Pearls, $25 Pearl Flips..

By James on Nov 14, 2008 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Hot Deals, Pearl 8100 Series, Pearl Flip 8200 Series, Rogers, Telus, Virgin Mobile.

The Holiday Shopping season is now starting in full swing. The competitive pricing on BlackBerry smartphones is here. Both Bell and TELUS both now have their popular BlackBerry Pearl 8130 for $0 with three year term and Rogers is offering their new BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 for only $24.99 with three year term as well.

Let’s take a quick peak into the deals between the big three and see who is winning.

Bell: Currently offering Pearl 8130 for $0 (in four colors) and Curve 8330 for $99 (two colors) with three year terms.

TELUS: Currently offering the same pricing as Bell. Free Pearl 8130 (choice of 5 colors) and $99 Curve 8330 (choice of 3 colors) with three year terms.

Rogers: Currently offering Pearl Flip for $24.99 (choice of two colors), Curve 8320 (one color) for $99, Bold 9000 for $199, Pearl 8110 or 8120 for $49, Curve 8310 (three colors) for $99 all with three year terms.

Virgin Mobile: Currently only offering the Pearl 8130 in one color for $0 with three year term. Should be offering the Curve 8330 sometime this month as well.

Then of course if you wait just a little bit you should be able to pick up a BlackBerry Storm 9530 from either Bell or TELUS for an unknown price..

After you pick up your new BlackBerry smartphone head on over to The BlackBerry Sync Store and get it setup with hot new accessories and software!
