Previously we reported that TELUS would be launching the BlackBerry Storm on November 17th. However that there may be a possibility of delay. Well more tips have arrived stating that RIM has delayed the launch of the BlackBerry Storm for TELUS until early December. Apparently TELUS will still be the first to launch the Storm in Canada.

The latest rumored release dates include anywhere between December 4 to 8th. Its a small delay but at least we will see it for Christmas. Stay tuned if we get more details…

Big thanks to all the TELUS ninjas who reported this!

GSM only BlackBerry Storm flys thru FCC

By James on Nov 03, 2008 in BlackBerry, Featured News, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

Some interesting news arrived today. The FCC has approved a GSM only version of the BlackBerry Storm, this is not the 9530 World Edition which will be seen by Verizon. It seems this GSM only Storm will be packing WCDMA 2100 and will be very similar to Vodafone’s Storm 9500.

At this point we aren’t too sure what networks may see the GSM only Storm, but keep in mind Rogers is suppose to get a Storm varriant next year… AT&T or T-Mobile can’t be too far behind.

TELUS Storm launching 11/17, plus more Pearl colors

By James on Oct 31, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, Exclusives, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

We’ve received a very solid tip that TELUS’ release date for the BlackBerry Storm 9530 is set for November 17th (unless RIM pushes it back). If this is right TELUS would have a five day exclusive over Bell here in Canada. The tipster also is reporting that TELUS will charge users .50 cents per stream of Youtube clips, however if the client has certain data packages with web browsing (not known which ones at this time) then Youtube streaming will be included. Last but not least TELUS will be introducing both Red and Blue BlackBerry Pearl 8130’s early next month.

UPDATE: The tipster has sent in a few more details… Below is a picture of the two new colored Pearl 8130’s. Apparently the Storm is expected for November 17th, however RIM may still be working on software patches. Unfortunately no more details are available as of now. I guess we will have to play the waiting game…

Stay tuned for more details…
