    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.

    Also check out MobileSyrup’s video review of the TELUS Storm party:

    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.”

    BlackBerry Curve 8350i in the wild!

    By James on Nov 25, 2008 in BlackBerry, Curve 8300 Series, Featured News, Sprint-Nextel, USA.

    The folks over at BGR got their hands on a live BlackBerry Curve 8350i. This is the latest in the iDEN BlackBerry lineup, which will launch on Sprint-Nextel sometime in December and on TELUS’ Mike early next year for Canada. Here’s a few bullets from what The Boy Genius had to say about it:

    • The 8350i has a 2.5mm headset jack, not a 3.5mm one, and it comes with a 2.5mm headset in the box.
    • Ships with the much beloved plastic holster, not the leather holster we’re accustomed to.
    • There’s a small size difference. It’s around 2mm taller and 1mm thicker than the other Curves (8300, 8310, 8320, 8330).
    • The PTT button can not be reassigned as a convenience key.
    • Instead of using the same battery as the Curve, the 8350i uses the BlackBerry 8800-series batteries.
    • The side keys are now black instead of being chromed
    • We were told the device isn’t a real beast in terms of the signal department. “It can’t get a stable signal to save its life once it boots up”
