    Quick question - I've only ever purchased locked and unlocked with a third party. If you purchase factory unlocked do the updates still come OTA automatically like they do when purchased locked? Or, do you have to plug them into a computer or something to manually download and install them?
    They are still released OTA, typically directly from the manufacturer you purchased the device from (Apple, Google OnePlus, etc.), instead of being vetted by the carrier beforehand.

    Signing a new contract does not necessarily mean you lose your plan.

    Yes.
    But go through the pre-order steps to see what you'll *actually* be paying.
    I had to update plan at device upgrade and the net result was $15 more per month for plan. Not the 50+ (it would have been for me) if you use that main menu.
    I ordered KEYone and renewed plan (like a sucker, but I really don't care) today.
    They say it'll ship in 3-5 business days.
    We'll see.
    Carrier oligopoly is another discussion...

    Tweets aren't visible by BBmobile where they said it would be available online on the 31st. Who the hell knows what's going on..similar to the Priv, I guess we just got to wait and see I suppose.

    I don't understand, where was it stated that only TELUS-Business customers would be able to order the KEYone???

    Also, gotta say I'm pretty upset with BB-Mobile, as they told the world that pre-orders were coming May-18 for Canada and we found out it's only with one carrier? That sucks very hard.

    Having said that, I confirmed with the TELUS Business reps that regular consumers would be able to buy the phone outright (in the corporate stores).

    I'm in Ottawa. I'ts not BYOD. Just for the heck of it I just went through the motions as a new customer. Picked a phone and the n had to pick a plan and those are the options I was given. Hard to believe there could be so much difference from one city to the next.

    Well, that's good to know. I think I will have to figure out a plan on how to get a new phone plan through an Ottawa store. Thanks

    This may be an exception to the rule, though. My understanding is the Pixel is a lot like the iPhone, in that it's carrier-locked, but the manufacturer independently determines the update schedule, not the carrier itself. Could be wrong, however.
    Yes, both my Pixel & Nexus devices get the updates every month from Google and is not tied to carrier update schedules.

    I have a Pixel that is locked to Rogers and I get the monthly update right on time every month.
    Rogers will push it out right away if given to them. I'm sure TELUS operates the same way.
    Did you dump your Dteks?

    If you're a Telus customer and want it as a consumer not a business, make sure you bug them. Twitter, facebook, live chat, phone. They're considering it, but we need to keep on them

    I've heard here... that Telus Support has stated that consumers would be able to buy them at corporate stores and online.

    But it doesn't hurt to make as much noise as possible about it.

    I think buying it outright may be possible but not under contract for consumer yet. I don't care so much about updates, so would rather get it cheaper under contract.

    Rogers can refuse to sell outright initially as well as they want people signing up to their network. So that would suck. I really hope shop blackberry or somewhere online it's available for direct, outright purchase soon.

    Still locked to their update schedule. Which, arguably, is one of the most important reasons to buy a phone unlocked.

    I'm horribly disappointed in how the KEYone launch is going.
    My BB devices running android has always gotten the updates in a timely fashion. RW (Rogers Wireless) gets them first before Bell or Telus.
