Telus getting CDMA BlackBerry Bold?!?

By James on Oct 01, 2008 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Canada, RIM, Rumors, Telus.

Take this one with a grain of salt! But a rumor is floating around that Telus will be getting a CDMA BlackBerry Bold by the end of this year. Usually the folks at MobileSyrup are on point when they report this kind of stuff, however at this time we do not believe that RIM has any plans for a CDMA Bold this year. Maybe next year. Maybe not at all. At this time the only BlackBerry that Telus should be getting this year will be RIM’s first touch screen smartphone the BlackBerry Storm 9530.

Anyways its just a little rumor that was posted online and we thought we would share it with you…

Thanks Adam!

Are Telus and Bell in bidding war over Storm?

By James on Sep 30, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, RIM, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

We launch over new forums on the weekend and today I was looking at some of the posts and came across this one. According to Engadget they received word that Telus and Bell are in a bidding war over RIM’s first touch screen smartphone, the BlackBerry Storm 9530. Apparently Telus had exclusive rights until Bell walked in with a bigger offer.

Personally I hope it goes to Telus but what do you all think?

Who will get Storm in Canada? Bell or Telus?

By James on Sep 23, 2008 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

So the question this morning for Canadians is who will be launching the BlackBerry Storm 9530 first? Rumors over night claim Bell will have a 6 month exclusivity on it, however we don’t think that is true.

BlackBerryNews is reporting that they received a tip from a reliable source saying “Bell Mobility will be in fact releasing the Storm in mid Q4/early Q1. Also it will be exclusive for 6 months to the Bell system. So Telus will have to wait.”

After hearing of this we checked with several sources, which have helped us in the past with Telus’ launches. They claim that Bell has no exclusivity on the Storm and that Telus should be releasing it just in time for Christmas or shortly after Verizon. Furthermore they can’t confirm that Bell will even be getting the device at all. Read More

Telus BlackBerry Storm/Thunder 9530 confirmed…

By James on Aug 30, 2008 in BlackBerry, Breaking News, Canada, Featured News, Storm 9500 Series, Telus, Un-Released models.
<br />

We have confirmed with two sources that Telus will be launching RIM’s first touchscreen BlackBerry later this year, however details are still a little sketchy. You may have already heard that Verizon is launching the Storm and Vodafone plus maybe Rogers as well. Well after we didn’t hear about Telus we started digging. Two close sources (who both confirmed Telus launching the Pearl 8130 last year) confirmed Telus will launch the 9530 before or around Christmas this year. Now at this time we don’t have any pricing or official dates but stay tuned!

Telus to get EXCLUSIVE Canadian rights to BlackBerry Thunder

By James on Aug 07, 2008 in 8800 series, BlackBerry, Canada, Featured News, RIM, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

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.
