Our friends to the North will be happy to hear that Telus (NYSE: TU) has followed through on rumors that they’ll be launching a Canadian-flavored BlackBerry Curve 8330. The sleek, yet full-featured BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Curve 8330 offers BlackBerry fans a good dose of EVDO data, GPS, Bluetooth, and 2 megapixel camera. That is, when it finally launches on Telus’s network – no word on exactly when that will be.
And, in a more solid launch, Telus has announced that the Motorola (NYSE: MOT) Q9c is ready to pull duty as the CDMA carrier’s slim Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard handset. Moto Q9c fans in Canada can expect a 1.3 megapixel camera, EVDO data, and Bluetooth – all powered by Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard. The Motorola Q9c is available on Telus for about $150 CDN after 3-year contract(!).
Head on over to Telus for more details.
Hey… I am an alltel customer and my upgrade is coming up soon. I am stuck between these two phones. I heard that the blackberry has expensive data plans and the q9c doesnt. I dont know which one to chose. I love to text and I am upgrading from a razr to one of these. Could someone please give me some personal advice?
