Yesterday Future Shop gave us a $649.99 pricetag for Telus’ upcoming BlackBerry Storm without a contract, but hey, who’s going to shell out that much for something that’s not even a safe bet? The contract price of $299.99 here shown in a Best Buy Mobile Canada ad is much more amenable although still a bit pricier than Verizon’s offer. If Canadian CDMA carriers want to really compete with Rogers’ iPhone, they’ll have to suck it up and cut the pricetag, because otherwise it will be a pretty one-sided fight for holiday sales.
