Samsung SCH-m620 aka UpStageTelus in Canada is walking the Sprint’s way with the introduction of Samsung SCH-m620, also known as the UpStage in the United States. And just like Sprint, Telus will emphasize the music aspect of Samsung’s dual faced device, even touting it as “business in the front, party in the back.”

The Samsung SCH-m620 is already available with prices starting from CA$199.99 on a three-year, to CA$349.99 sans any contract. Additionally, Telus SCH-m620′s users will be able to purchase individual songs for CA$1.99 a pop, plus a CA$0.50 “download fee” – or to go for an unlimited plan for CA$20 a month. Plus, there’s the XM-powered Telus Mobile Radio offering 22 channels to Telus’ users. Everything seems cools, except that “download fee” which should come bundled with the price of a song. I guess carriers still have lot to learn…

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.

    I just got that phone from Telus a few days ago, and it is a very good phone. However I cannot use custom mp3 ring tones, because Telus decided to lock those out. :(
