As predicted, Bell and Telus have coordinated their BlackBerry 9530 launches. Bell’s offer matches up perfectly at $249.95 on a three-year contract. Just like the Telus version, the Bell Storm will come with an 8 GB microSD memory card so you can get going with your tunes right away. For those interested in specs, the BlackBerry 9530 is a dual-mode smartphone with an imaginative 480 x 360 clicking touchscreen, 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, autofocus, and video recording, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and stereo Bluetooth capabilities. The online store hasn’t updated just yet, but keep your eyes peeled, especially if you’re having issues getting your hands on Telus’ limited inventory, but don’t be surprised if Bell is in just as bad of a position. Stores in the Greater Toronto Area should have some stock today, and stores Canada-wide should have some as of tomorrow.
