I promised myself I wouldn’t be writing any news today, however some big news has broken! A small Christmas present to all BlackBerry addicts. News has broken that Rogers Wireless will be picking up two new BlackBerry smartphones in early 2009. First one will be 3G/Wi-Fi packing version of the BlackBerry Storm. This 3G version of the Storm will be modeled the 9520 and should see a price point of $199 with three year term. This will make it interesting for both Bell and TELUS who are currently offering it for $249 with three year term. Rogers will also be introducing the 3G BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8200 with a secondary camera for video calling along with GPS, Wi-Fi and 3G support. No pricing is known for that model just yet. So anyways for now this is leaked information for now. Nothing confirmed officially by Rogers. Stay tuned!!

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.

Bell’s BlackBerry Storm launches December 15th

By James on Dec 03, 2008 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Featured News, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

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.
