The word is rogers and Telus- probably if verizon is any indication some time in Nov.

the rumor has it that Telus will have exclusive right to it.

I hope it comes out before dec 8th on telus.......telus's loyalty dept put a $400 credit on my account for a new blackberry if I wanted because my curve has been exchanged a couple times

Telus for sure is the rumor and I have gone into several stores lately and the employees are agreeing. lol!! I went yest. and the asst manager in Yorkdale mall (Toronto) said before C-mas price? he wasnt sure but guessed about 800 mark or around there.
No contract that is.

Rumours are that Telus will get the 9530 (Storm) and Rogers will get the 9500 (Thunder). Main rumoured difference seems to be that the Thunder will be GSM. Not a lot of "news" re: Rogers, but there have been several posts on different sites that people have already seen the Storm listed in Telus' inventory sheets....

$800 for a CDMA device........ wowww that's absurd. And people call rogers, robbers. Up to $1000 is ok for a GSM device because you know you can at least sell it to a lot of people, in the WORLD. With a CDMA device you can only sell it to people on your carrier.

I think thats $800 Canadian if it makes a difference...........just checked, not much difference.

Confirmed by a friend in telus Head Office
no release yet tho.

STUPID question but whatever.....is there any way to be able (If Telus gets this phone 100%) to use it on Bell if you pay some ridiculous price to do something tech genius like? I am still not going to completly believe until I see it confirmed that it is going to Telus, by Telus.
