Telus getting CDMA BlackBerry Bold?!?

By James on Oct 01, 2008 in BlackBerry, Bold 9000 Series, Canada, RIM, Rumors, Telus.

Take this one with a grain of salt! But a rumor is floating around that Telus will be getting a CDMA BlackBerry Bold by the end of this year. Usually the folks at MobileSyrup are on point when they report this kind of stuff, however at this time we do not believe that RIM has any plans for a CDMA Bold this year. Maybe next year. Maybe not at all. At this time the only BlackBerry that Telus should be getting this year will be RIM’s first touch screen smartphone the BlackBerry Storm 9530.

Anyways its just a little rumor that was posted online and we thought we would share it with you…

Thanks Adam!

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

Globe & Mail thinks RIM will release a sliding Storm

By James on Sep 20, 2008 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

Where should I start with this article posted today by the Globe and Mail…

The article published in Today’s paper talks about RIM’s new Pearl Flip as a game changer for the North American market. Then they started talking about RIM’s upcoming first touch screen BlackBerry. According to the Globe and Mail RIM will release the BlackBerry Thunder and also a “a second device which features both a touch-screen interface as well as a slide-out QWERTY keypad [...] known as Storm” anyone else think thats weird? We do know that RIM filed a patent a long time ago for a slide-out keyboard, however the Storm will NOT be this device. Read More

Telus BlackBerry Storm/Thunder 9530 confirmed…

By James on Aug 30, 2008 in BlackBerry, Breaking News, Canada, Featured News, Storm 9500 Series, Telus, Un-Released models.
<br />

We have confirmed with two sources that Telus will be launching RIM’s first touchscreen BlackBerry later this year, however details are still a little sketchy. You may have already heard that Verizon is launching the Storm and Vodafone plus maybe Rogers as well. Well after we didn’t hear about Telus we started digging. Two close sources (who both confirmed Telus launching the Pearl 8130 last year) confirmed Telus will launch the 9530 before or around Christmas this year. Now at this time we don’t have any pricing or official dates but stay tuned!

Windows Live Messenger has been running on Bell now for at least a year. We've received news that the service is finally coming to TELUS here in Canada. This means people with BlackBerry devices on TELUS now have full access to Windows Live (MSN) Messenger along with their hotmail email accounts.

Pink BlackBerry Curve coming to Canada soon…

By James on May 04, 2008 in BlackBerry, Curve 8300 Series, Rumors.

We just received a tip from a reliable tipster that a Pink colored BlackBerry Curve 8330 will soon be hitting the Canadian streets. The tipster didn't point which direction (Bell or TELUS) the Pink Curve will be heading but if it follows the exclusive TELUS launch of the Pink Pearl for Breast Cancer then we might just see it there. The tipster says it will launch most likely within the next 30 days. 

Thanks Riko!
