Some lucky people got their hands on Rogers’ new BlackBerry Curve 8900 from select stores. Apparently some Rogers stores actually received their stock early. This new Curve features Quadband GSM, EDGE, Wi-Fi, 3.2 megapixel camera and OS 4.6. All that for only $179 with three year term. So anyone else get their hands on a Rogers Curve 8900?

I know your probably thinking how and why? but apparently earlier today RIM released Bell’s version of OS 4.7.0.76 for the BlackBerry Storm by accident. This is great news thought as the OS version is higher than Verizon’s current OS. At the time of this post it seems that RIM has removed the link but we’ve got pics any with any luck an official release is just around the corner…
Earlier last week Future Shop listed the TELUS BlackBerry Storm available for pre-order at $649.99 with no contract. Today they have put the TELUS Storm on their site for $299 with three year term. The doesn’t say its coming soon it says its only available in stores. Also keep in mind TELUS has officially said the price will be set at $249/3YR and $599 no contract. So what does this mean? Anyone think its launching this week?

Final word has arrived that Bell will be launching the BlackBerry Storm on December 15, 2008. Apparently Bell wants to keep a tight race with TELUS and has printed several price cards in case they decide to drop the price at any time. Recently TELUS annoucned their BlackBerry Storm would sell for $249 with three year contract or $599 without. Bell has price cards set at $199, $249 or $299 with contract and $699 without. So anyways look like a solid release date is in place.
We’ve been contacted by the TELUS to let you all know that they have officially announced pricing for the Storm. Even though no official release date has been said, TELUS will release the Storm for $249.99 with three year term or $599.99 without.
Also here is a new promo video sent by TELUS showing off the Storm and the Canadian content you will find on it. Check out TELUS’ micro-site for complete details or to register to be contacted upon release – see telusmobility.com/storm.
We knew it was coming but honestly we didn’t expect it so soon. Rogers has internally announced they will be launching the BlackBerry Curve 8900 very soon. Pricing will start at $179.99 for three year term. This comes as both TELUS and Bell get ready to launch RIM’s first ever touch screen BlackBerry in Canada. At this time there isn’t much more information as it was just announced internally. Stay tuned for more details…

Seems with all the hands-on TELUS Storm love, Bell might be getting a little jelious. They have just sent out their first update email stating “The Storm is Coming Sooner” wait maybe they didn’t put the “er” but still it’s coming. Anyways this is just one sign we are getting a little closer to a launch. To keep up to date with the latest Bell Storm news head over to storminfo.ca and register to get email updates.
