November 11th. is slated as Vodafone’s launch date for the first touchscreen BlackBerry, and rumour has it that Telus won’t be far behind with their Storm on the 17th. This sounds about right, considering Bell will be coming out with the Storm on the 21st.. Right beside the BlackBerry 9530 will be two new colours of Pearl on Telus’ shelves – red and blue to complement their existing pink, white and black models. This is a bit of a refresher to compete with those dastardly GSM carriers who will be launching the next generation of Pearl in coming weeks.
