    $429... apparently Telus is smoking something especially on a 3 year contract and initial price of 599...

    Oops, you're right. $429 for 3 years has GOT to be a typo.

    Those are CAD, don't forget. Look at the Storm, it's now $149/3 years CAD. I'm sure eventually this one will drop as well.

    Yeah it is a typo, if you add it to your cart it is $299 which still kind of sucks but better than $429

    16 is what is available for sale now but when 32 comes out on the market it will be usable in the Tour. That's what they mean

    OS 4.7 supports up to 16GB mem cards.
    OS 5.0 will support up to 32GB mem cards.

    Update: been on phone with Telus for 15 mins. The stores get the phones first; ordering online or over the phone with Client Care will delay your shipment by ~2 weeks. Just a heads-up.

    I lost you on this one. Online states clearly 2-5 days. Are you talking about ordering thru CS there will be a delay ?

    consider that 32gb cards dont exist and the if what someone else said in this thread is truwe that u need os 5.0 to get 32gb cards to work i wouldnt go near that. u need an os upgrade to get curves to work with over 4gb and my phone goes slow as ****. this crap better not continue on this berry

    client care is slightly wrong. ordering from the webstore wont delay ur shipment. ordering from client care could. all orders are processed by one department. orders go out on a first come first served basis. so when u put in that order the stock goes out.

    i worked in telus inventory and handled these orders. only delays is if its out of stock.

    Just hold tight with that 16GB card for now. I'm sure you'll read all kinds of reviews here on CB once the 32GB cards and OS 5.0 come out.
    I'm using a 4GB card on my Curve, and it provides me with adequate mem for my tunes (...though I hate having to delete some stuff just to free some space).
    Will probably buy a 8GB card for the Tour though.

    Only way is to call your local store tosee what they say. They may or may not tell you much yet.

    To be honest I'm not sure when the technology will be released. It's actually not a cellular phone thing -- more of the tech hitting the market.

    OS 5.0 is set for a release in the Fall based on what I've been reading. Should be great...though don't expect a night/day difference from OS 4.7. The look/feel should be familiar, with some nice new features.

    i called 3 stores in Ottawa and one didn't have a clue, one I think the guy was napping and the main store I deal with said their release is scheduled for wednesday. The other 2 didn't even know it was online yet.

    I'll be in line that morning.

    BTW....if you add the phone now as a new customer online it shows as $229

    standing in line is a waste of ur time. delivery guys depending on location arrive anywhere between 11 and 2pm.

    if u want to save some time call the telus store and ask what time do the delivery guys show up on average everyday. Thats the time to aim for. They might not tell u this because it may seem like ur trying to hijack a load of shipments but they might realize ur just antsy and tell u
