    Just thought I'd let you all know that the Telus website appears to have discountinued the Blackberry 8830. I am hoping this does mean a June 22 release date for the Tour!

    The link to the Telus smartphone page if you want to take a look for yourselves.

    Out of stock is one thing, but being completely removed is a whole different ball game. Good sign indeed!

    Yep, it's gone. I was on the telus site last night, hoping to see something tour related, and the 8830 was there. 24 hours later, its goodbye, thanks for your contribution, here's your gold watch. Yeah, sure, we'll get together.
    Buh bye

    yea and considering verizon is out of stock this is good for all of us. I really do hope this tour is as good as we are all hoping. i do love my storm and type fast on its keyboard but when the time comes for the release of the tour, extra $$$ might be worth a physical keyboard and slightly better device. we'll see

    the 8830 was my previous phone. im sure previous users can agree it was a good one.

    exactly I think this is pretty solid evidence that this device is around the corner for us

    It looks to me like they're ready to announce on monday. I don't really know when RIM/Telus announces these things or if there is a specific day they normally do it but it looks like we're set for official-ness this coming week

    I noticed the Pearl is out of stock with VZW, obviously to make room for the Flip. But my location still has the 8830 available.

    On the Bell site the 8830 went from $150 to $99 and now to $49.99 all in the last 2 weeks. Something is going and something is coming....
