Telus Storm 9550 Availability/International Roaming SIM

Hey Guys - two quick questions.

1. Now that the Storm 9550 has been 'released' for telus, when is it expected that the stores will have stock for purchasing?
2. I have my plan as the Student 50 (with unlimited data, 10 nation wide 'faves'). Are there any student plans left, now that it is switched to clear choice? If not do you think there is any negotiating that can be done - I'm okay with paying 50$ a month again but I think its pretty damned stupid to have such a downgrade to 500 mb a month (not a big deal, thanks compression!) more more so the 5 favs (instead of 10) which are only local (instead of nationwide)...

Cheers

And I forgot to throw in the question about the roaming SIM but no matter.

1. I ordered mine today, should have them tomorrow.

2. As for the plans, I believe as long as you are staying within the CDMA network you should be able to recontract with the same features. I have done 3 today CDMA recons that were all able to keep their existing BB plans and voice plans. I may be wrong, but I am fairly certain nothing would change.

Is fav 10 only available to students?

When are you getting more in?? Are all the stores only getting 1??? That just seems brutal!

No, I only ordered one. I cant speak on other stores behalfs, but I dont get auto shipments. I have to manually order every device. I wont have any more till tuesday at least

Hi all,

I harassed every Telus shop in a 20km radius and found out 75% of them got their shipments yesterday at 3PM PST in Vancouver, BC

Got mine and it is awesome!
