BlackBerry 9530 from Telus
A little bit sooner than Friday, BlackBerry Storms are available in Telus stores right now for $249.99 on a three-year contract or $599.99 without a contract. After a few calls around Ottawa, I’m hearing stock is extremely limited, so unless you were on a preorder, it might take a few weeks for fresh units to come in. Now we’re just holding out on an announcement from Bell, as they were supposed to launch at around the same time. We hear the software is version .76, the same upgrade that got pushed out to Verizon customers last week. Hopefully that will improve performance and get this smartphone under a couple Christmas trees. To get yours, hop on over to the Telus online store.
