Alright seriously TELUS just release the damn thing! Seems that Best Buy is the Expansys and loves to leak things for BlackBerry and TELUS. Best Buy has just posted their flyer which shows the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 in both Black and Pink for $99.99 on 3 year, $199.99 (voice only) on 2 year, or $449.99 with no contract.

Earlier this month we reported that TELUS would be launching the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 this month. Well Best Buy has just posted it online and it looks like it the no contract price will be $499.99. Best Buy has them on their site in both black and pink, however they don’t appear to have stock in stores just yet. Does this mean TELUS will be launching it officially very soon? Orginally we reported that TELUS would be launching it this month (seems they are cutting it close)…

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.

By James on Dec 09, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

We just received word that TELUS will be launching their BlackBerry Storm this week. After the fun party they held last night in Toronto it seems they are finally ready to launch it. Official pricing will remain at $249.99 with three year term or $599 outright. Apparently Bell will be launching their Storm on Monday so it looks like Canadians will be getting an early Christmas present after all.

Update: Apparently only select stores are receiving the first round of stock. Shipments include the devices and selection of skins, chargers and replacement stuff like batteries and doors. Looks like they should be in store on Friday!

Stay tuned for the latest BlackBerry Storm news.
