TELUS BlackBerry Storm launching THIS WEEK!

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.

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.

Bell releases Storm OS 4.7.0.76? but forgets to release device.

By James on Dec 04, 2008 in Bell, BlackBerry, BlackBerry OS, Canada, RIM, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

I know your probably thinking how and why? but apparently earlier today RIM released Bell’s version of OS 4.7.0.76 for the BlackBerry Storm by accident. This is great news thought as the OS version is higher than Verizon’s current OS. At the time of this post it seems that RIM has removed the link but we’ve got pics any with any luck an official release is just around the corner…

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.”

VZW delays shipments of BlackBerry Storm until December

By James on Nov 21, 2008 in BlackBerry, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Verizon.

UPDATE: It looks like Verizon has even further delayed the shipments now. If you visit the order page it shows “Due to limited availability of the BlackBerry® Storm™ 9530 smartphone, orders will ship by 12/15.” That’s sad news for people dying to get their hands on a Storm. Stay tuned for any updates.

Looks like Verizon had a very busy launch day. In fact they didn’t have nearly enough Storm’s on hand. Apparently RIM had some last minute OS issues which they had to sort out. If you check out Verizon’s online store you will see that new orders for the Storm aren’t shipping until December 5, 2008. That is a long wait but unfortantly nothing you can do about it for now. If you need proof check out verizonwireless.com.

How many people out there today got their hands on a Storm?
