The latest rumours from Bell are pointing to a December 15h. launch date for the BlackBerry 9530. The Telus reps I’ve talked to have waffled a bit on dates – one said the 14th., another said the 18th., but a Bell rep confirmed that one way or the other, they’ll be shipping at the same time. Supposedly the price point will be identical as well - Bell will apparently be selling for $699 with no strings and $299 on contract, so we can expect Telus to do the same. Advertisements have shown prices as high as $650, but we can only really count on pricetags finalizing with a good and proper launch. Hopefully when it does come to Canada, we’ll be seeing fewer bugs than than the Verizon launch…
