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.

Looks like our tipster came through. TELUS has quietly announced the Pink BlackBerry Curve 8330. A notice was sent to employees and dealers letting them know that the Pink Curve is available for order and should be arriving within the next few days. Pricing remains at $149.99 with three year contract or $549.99 with no contract.

Visit TelusMobility.com for more details on the Pink Curve.

So remember how we said a Pink BlackBerry Curve (8330) would be hitting Canada soon? Well tipsters have informed us that Telus will be launching a Pink Curve sometime this upcoming week!

Pricing is expected to stay the same at $149.99 with three year term. Stay tuned for official details soon!

Windows Live Messenger has been running on Bell now for at least a year. We've received news that the service is finally coming to TELUS here in Canada. This means people with BlackBerry devices on TELUS now have full access to Windows Live (MSN) Messenger along with their hotmail email accounts. 

Apparently service books are being sent to TELUS clients today and they will able to download it right from the home screen. The service will be FREE and included in all data plans. Stay tuned for more details… 

Just after announcing it was coming soon, TELUS has launched the BlackBerry Curve 8330. Pricing starts at $249.99 with three year contract and ends at $549.99 with no contract. Full details can be found on their site.

Weird why does Telus’ website show a picture of the BlackBerry Curve 8330 with Windows Live Hotmail on the screen? Isn’t Windows Live a Bell exclusive? and I don’t believe you can setup your Hotmail for free (working 100% that is)… That’s just odd. Maybe Telus has something up their sleeves?

Telus Mobility has finally announced the BlackBerry Curve 8330 as “Coming Soon”. Not only that but earlier today Toronto’s Metro News paper had an ad in it showing off the Curve for $249.99 with three year contract. According to rumors posted online the Curve will be priced at $549.99 (no contract) and $249.99 on three year with voice and data requirements. The last of the rumors also indicate a April 11th launch date.

The BlackBerry® Curve™ strikes the perfect balance between performance and usability. Featuring a liquid silver finish with chrome highlights, clean lines and soft edges, it’s currently the smallest and lightest full QWERTY BlackBerry smartphone.

The Curve is designed to simplify your life by giving you email, camera, multimedia, instant messaging, browser, organizer, maps and much more – in a personal and easy to use package. It’s your connection to everything that matters.

Look at this! Someone managed to get a screenshot of the BlackBerry Curve 8330 coming to Telus. Not. Someone simply had a little free time with photoshop. Seriously though besides this picture someone actually posted a “screenshot” of the Curve on the Telus site. We have a feeling that it’s fake. Just to clear things up the BlackBerry Curve 8330 will be launching sometime next month and will have a different colour scheme than any other Curve on the market at the moment. Stay tuned for more details. For the time being head over to HowardForums and check the discussion if you want a laugh.

_{Thanks to the hofo member who made this little picture above… it made me laugh.}  

There we go as promised, Telus has launched the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 in Black. This adds Pink and Silver to their collection. You can choose any of the three for $99 with three year term or $499 with no contract. Details are at TelusMoblity.com.
