The Mobile Ninjas managed to score a couple great shots of the un-released BlackBerry Bold 9700 (Onyx) and Apple iPhone running on TELUS’ new HSPA network. Recently TELUS announced that they would be launching their new HSPA network this November, and that it would cover 93% of Canada. Even though they announced the network they have been fairly quiet on what devices they plan to release. All we know officially is that TELUS will get the iPhone, and hopefully they will follow Bell and launch the Bold 9700. Anyway enjoy a these two quick pics of the TELUS network up and going.

It’s been rumored for a while, but Boy Genius has officially confirmed that Bell will be launching the BlackBerry Bold 9700 this November. Bell plans to launch the Bold 9700, along with several other high-end devices (Bold 9000, iPhone 3G/3GS, Omina 2) with their new HSPA network. Bell is said to be switching on their HSPA network early November, and shipments of the new Bold 9700 start October 30th. This is awesome news for fellow Canadians… Now I wonder when and what TELUS will be launching?

BlackBerry Storm 2 Rumored Release Dates!

By James on Oct 09, 2009 in BlackBerry, International Networks, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Verizon.

Ronen from BerryReview has just posted some updates to the Storm 2 launch for both Verizon and Vodafone. Apparently Vodafone UK will be launching the Storm 2 (9520) on October 15th (just a few days away!), followed by Verizon launching the Storm 2 (9520) on October 25th or so. Now Ronen also goes on to say that he received a tip that RIM will not be launching the 9520, the 3G version of the Storm 2 in the USA. With any luck we might see the 9520 hit Canadian shores for a HSPA launch on Bell and TELUS? Although its kind of doubtful.

So I guess we will have to sit back and wait to see if these dates are true.

By James on Oct 09, 2009 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Rumors, T-Mobile, USA.

Boy Genius has just posted a rumor, which even he isn’t willing to confirm yet. Apparently they received a tip that T-Mobile USA might be launching the BlackBerry Bold 9700 on November 11th. So if everything goes as planned we should be seeing the Bold 9700 get officially announced for T-Mobile and AT&T later this month (October 21st), then maybe releasing just a few weeks later. Stay tuned for more info…

TELUS BlackBerry Storm Discontinued? or Just an Error?

By James on Oct 03, 2009 in BlackBerry, Canada, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

itemnotinstock-telus

An interesting message has popped up when you try and buy the BlackBerry Storm (9530) from TELUS. You get a message that says “An item (handset, rate plan, service or accessory) that you’ve selected is no longer available. The discontinued item has been removed from your shopping cart.”. This could mean one of three things: TELUS made an error, or maybe the Storm is actually discontinued to make room for the Storm 2?, and maybe HSPA is slowly getting ready to launch and they are making room, and discontinuing it. Either way keep an eye on the TELUS Mobility website for details.

What do you think?

Best Buy lists Rogers BlackBerry Curve 8520 $99/$449

By James on Oct 01, 2009 in BlackBerry, Canada, Curve 8500 Series, Rogers, Rumors.

It seems the Rogers BlackBerry Curve 8520 is just around the corner. Today Best Buy Canada “accidentally” listed the BlackBerry Curve 8520 for Rogers on their site. It’s currently listed at $99 with three year contract or $449 without. This comes after launch materials and dummy phones have arrived at some Rogers retail stores across Canada. This might mean we will see an official launch sometime soon. Keep checking in…

Check out the Curve 8520 over at BestBuy.ca >>

BlackBerry Storm 2 heading to Verizon & Best Buy on October 25th?

By James on Oct 01, 2009 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Verizon.

blackberry-storm2-bestbuy

It’s no secret that the BlackBerry Storm 2 (9550) will be launching sometime this year. Well it seems that Best Buy has listed the Storm 2 in their internal inventory system as launching on October 25th. If this turns out to be true we would see an official launch from Verizon either late October or early November. My guess is that they may want to wait until November to release the Storm 2, as the original Storm was launch in November. But who knows…
