Canada’s hot BlackBerry deals! $0 Pearls, $25 Pearl Flips..

By James on Nov 14, 2008 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Hot Deals, Pearl 8100 Series, Pearl Flip 8200 Series, Rogers, Telus, Virgin Mobile.

The Holiday Shopping season is now starting in full swing. The competitive pricing on BlackBerry smartphones is here. Both Bell and TELUS both now have their popular BlackBerry Pearl 8130 for $0 with three year term and Rogers is offering their new BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 for only $24.99 with three year term as well.

Let’s take a quick peak into the deals between the big three and see who is winning.

Bell: Currently offering Pearl 8130 for $0 (in four colors) and Curve 8330 for $99 (two colors) with three year terms.

TELUS: Currently offering the same pricing as Bell. Free Pearl 8130 (choice of 5 colors) and $99 Curve 8330 (choice of 3 colors) with three year terms.

Rogers: Currently offering Pearl Flip for $24.99 (choice of two colors), Curve 8320 (one color) for $99, Bold 9000 for $199, Pearl 8110 or 8120 for $49, Curve 8310 (three colors) for $99 all with three year terms.

Virgin Mobile: Currently only offering the Pearl 8130 in one color for $0 with three year term. Should be offering the Curve 8330 sometime this month as well.

Then of course if you wait just a little bit you should be able to pick up a BlackBerry Storm 9530 from either Bell or TELUS for an unknown price..

After you pick up your new BlackBerry smartphone head on over to The BlackBerry Sync Store and get it setup with hot new accessories and software!

TELUS Storm launching 11/17, plus more Pearl colors

By James on Oct 31, 2008 in BlackBerry, Canada, Exclusives, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, Telus.

We’ve received a very solid tip that TELUS’ release date for the BlackBerry Storm 9530 is set for November 17th (unless RIM pushes it back). If this is right TELUS would have a five day exclusive over Bell here in Canada. The tipster also is reporting that TELUS will charge users .50 cents per stream of Youtube clips, however if the client has certain data packages with web browsing (not known which ones at this time) then Youtube streaming will be included. Last but not least TELUS will be introducing both Red and Blue BlackBerry Pearl 8130’s early next month.

UPDATE: The tipster has sent in a few more details… Below is a picture of the two new colored Pearl 8130’s. Apparently the Storm is expected for November 17th, however RIM may still be working on software patches. Unfortunately no more details are available as of now. I guess we will have to play the waiting game…

Stay tuned for more details…

Bell’s Storm comes November 21st

By James on Oct 27, 2008 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

Details have arrived of what Bell’s Q4 is getting ready to look like for this Holiday Season. Let’s start off with the most important detail. Bell is launching their BlackBerry Storm 9530 on November 21st along with a ton of other non BlackBerry phones. Bell’s discount brand Solo Mobile will be launching the white BlackBerry Pearl 8130 for Christmas as well.

Bell will also offer $30 for unlimited on device data (without or without voice plan). Not only that but Bell will release several new features including Roll Over Minutes. All we can say is this makes us wonder what TELUS has in store for Christmas?

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
