John from MobileSyrup has just unboxed his brand new TELUS BlackBerry Storm 9530. Now keep in mind its not officially available to the public just yet. If you look in the box you will notice it comes pre-loaded with an 8GB micro SD card full with tracks from Canadian artists. Not only that but included in the box is a carrying pouch (no clip), premium stereo headphones (just like the bold!!) and the usual stuff (battery, charger, usb, etc). Stay tuned for more details…

P.S. I’m really sorry to those who are getting sick of all the Storm news. It’ll cut back soon.

TELUS throws Storm launch party in Toronto!

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

TELUS defiantly knows how to party. Last night they held a party where most of the large BlackBerry blogs got some sweet hands-on time with the Storm. Unfortunately we aren’t in Toronto are we would have got in on this. It seems that all TELUS demos were runnig OS 4.5.0.76 and it worked great. It seems that a launch from TELUS pretty much immendant their stock may be a little short. Seems it will launch before the holiday season, but tons of stock will arrive shortly after Christmas.

Also check out MobileSyrup’s video review of the TELUS Storm party:

By James on Nov 27, 2008 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Random Thoughts, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

Rumors have arrived that both TELUS and Bell in Canada will be selling the BlackBerry Storm for around $299 with a three year term. Bell is said to be offering their Storm for $479-200 (data and voice discount) so $279 with three year term. With Verizon’s Storm coming in at $199.99 with two year term. Does anyone think that Canadians will really buy the Storm at nearly $300 with a three year term?

I think we will have to wait and see what they do officially…

Hands-on TELUS BlackBerry Storm Video Review

By James on Nov 25, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, Reviews, Storm 9500 Series, Telus, Videos.

Our friends over at Mobile Syrup let us know that they got to spend some hands-on time a TELUS BlackBerry Storm. Here’s a blurb from the first part of their review “Overall, in our first review there is not much that we can say needs improving. The speed was good, accelerometer was responsive, music was loud (comes with a 3.5 mm headphone jack), the pictures we good quality and the device as a whole was solid.”

BlackBerry Curve 8350i to churp on TELUS Mike soon?

By James on Nov 18, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, Curve 8300 Series, Exclusives, Rumors, Telus.

Our TELUS ninja has reported that TELUS’ Mike iDEN network will finally see a new BlackBerry soon. The BlackBerry Curve 8350i is the new addition to the iDEN BlackBerry lineup (joining the 7100i and 7520i). It will feature Wi-Fi, OS 4.6, Direct Connect (PTT) and a little more ruggid but similar design to the current Curve 8300 series. Unfortunantly for now this ninja doesn’t have an exact release but they are expecting it to come soon with tons of accessories to make it a more consumer friendly market.

So what do you think? Will TELUS introduce two BlackBerry smartphones (Storm and iDen Curve) in the month of December or will they wait until early next year??

Thanks, Frogger
