Thunder on Telus!?!?

[Bluecruzer]

LOL the bold looks pretty exclusive to Rogers Canada

[CamLS]

I honestly couldn't see Rogers getting the Storm anytime soon. They already have the exclusive selling rights to the iphone. just like another person on these forums pointed out, that if Rogers got it, the sales force would be the deciding factor in terms of which product is sold, so why would they want to offer two touchscreen devices made to compete against eachother?

It would make total sense for Telus/Bell to be the only carriers of this phone in Canada.

Thank god I'm on Telus too. The rogers plans are so expensive I just couldn't believe it. My current 3yr Telus contract expires right away and I told them I was considering going to Rogers, well they offered me so much free stuff that I would be paying $30/month for my voice plan AND an unlimited data/web/IM/Text/e-mail plan. That is dirt friggin cheap.

They wouldn't be getting the Storm, it would be the Thunder. And the only reason you can't really see them geting it is because you're on Telus. But it looks like your beliefs aren't correct this time around.

Your too confusing C_X, could you at least say or hint whether us loyal Telus followers will see the Storm before Rogers sees the Thunder? If not I will NOT be so loyal.....


Thanks

I think what Crucial is pretty much just disagreeing with with CAM. CAM doesnt think that Rogers will get the Thunder anytime soon, and Crucial probably has some info leading him to believe otherwise.

Now, judging from the Bold's release in Canada. I guess it is pretty much understood that the Thunder will be released in Canada first, with Verizon following closely behind in the US.

Since Verizon doesnt seem to be having the issues that ATT is having, maybe they can release it sooner than the Bold?

Well, over on Blackberrysync.com, someone is reporting that they "looked in the TELUS inventory today at work and there are about 4 items for this world edition thunder". If true, then I guess the countdown is really on!

I will try to find it but I read an article the other day saying Yelus & bell were going to share the costs of upgrading to 3g network.

Now if that happens then I will be happy!
