TELUS to get the LG Optimus LTE, too
We’ve already spilled the beans on TELUS’ LTE plans, talking about the carrier’s LTE-enabled SIM cards. Moreover, we’ve heard about two devices from their LTE portfolio – Samsung Galaxy Note LTE and Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE. Now we have another phone to add to the mix – LG Optimus LTE. Unfortunately, we’ve no idea when TELUS will start selling the best mobile device LG has ever made, though we hope that will happen sooner rather than later. The above image comes from LG Canada’s website, clearly showing TELUS as … Read more

Samsung Galaxy Note hitting three major carriers in Canada on February 14th
Good news for our Canadian readers who want the Samsung Galaxy Note. Three of the country’s major carriers — including TELUS, Bell and Rogers — will offer the big smartphone/tablet device starting at mid-February, with Best Buy already taking pre-orders in its stores. In order to secure your Galaxy Note unit, the retailer is asking for a $50 deposit, which seems reasonable enough considering how much you’ll end-up paying for Sammy’s phone. Moreover, at the moment I’m writing this, we see that Bell’s version will cost $199.99, which is $50 … Read more

The specific wording used in the mentioned document goes like this: A V3 SIM is mandatory for use with all upcoming LTE devices. The current V2 SIM will not allow access to TELUS’ 4G LTE network. Only the … Read more

Telus’ HTC 7 Surround and LG Optimus 7 get 8107 update
Canadian Telus announced the availability of the 8107 update for two of its Windows Phone devices – HTC 7 Surround and LG Optimus 7. The carrier prepared a support page advising users to “push the button” and solve the annoying “disappearing keyboard” bug, while fixing some of the other issues as well. In order to proceed, you should connect your Windows Phone device to a computer (via USB cable), and fire-up the Zune software. From there, you can check for updates, and make sure you’re running the latest firmware by … Read more

TELUS’ HTC Desire HD gets Android 2.3.5 update
Canada’s TELUS is rolling out an OTA update for the HTC Desire HD, bringing the smartphone up to Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread. Aside from the “standard” features Gingerbread brings to the table such as improved copy/paste, UI refinements, improved power management and video calls support, there are some Desire HD specific stuff included, most notably the new version (3.0) of the HTC Sense UI. Moreover, there’s the HTC Watch app from where you can rent or buy the latest movies and shows, as well as a number of bug fixes under … Read more

LTE-based Samsung Galaxy Note gets its page at Telus Canada
Canada’s Telus will get the LTE-based Samsung Galaxy Note and the carrier already prepared a page dedicated to the big smartphone/tablet device. Unfortunately, the mentioned page doesn’t say anything about the launch date or price. We are, however, pretty confident most folks will get this bad boy on a three-year customer agreement, since its off-contract price will be too expensive for the majority of users. Aside from the LTE radio, Telus’ version of the Galaxy Note is unchanged. It comes with a 5.3-inch Super AMOLED HD touchscreen, dual-core 1.4Ghz Exynos … Read more

Canada: Nokia Lumia 710 heading to Rogers, Lumia 800 to Telus
Nokia is bringing two of its Windows Phone devices to Canada. First we have the Lumia 710 which will be available exclusively from Rogers Communications this February for $49.99 on select 3-year plans. The second device is Lumia 800 and it’s “coming soon” (whatever that means) to TELUS. The carrier will offer the fancy Windows Phone in black, cyan and magenta. Price was not announced, though. Both Nokia devices run Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, while sporting a single-core 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 512MB of RAM. The Lumia 710 comes … Read more

BlackBerry Bold 9790 landing on TELUS December 2?
Following up on their launch of the BlackBerry Curve 9380, Telus is prepping to launch an entry-level version of the BlackBerry Bold 9900. The BlackBerry 9790 made a stampede-worthy debut in Jakarta, but as far as Canada goes, TELUS isn’t alone. We’ve seen live Bold 9790 units drifting into Rogers stores, and Bell is likely to be launching on December 2 as well. The BlackBerry Bold 9790 isn’t as big of a step down from the 9900 as the Curve 9380 was from the Torch 9850 / 9860, and that’s reflected … Read more

Motorola MOTOKEY: The feature phone for the Facebook addict in your family
Motorola will soon launch a feature phone called the MOTOKEY SOCIAL. We’ll assume that the person who came up with the product name has an IQ comparable to that that of an abused chimp who inhabits an office where every caps lock key on every keyboard is glued down. Anyway, here’s what we know about the device other than the mildly offensive name: 2.4 inch 320 x 240 pixel screen, QWERTY keyboard, quadband EDGE, dualband (850/1900 MHz) 3G, WiFi b/g, 3 megapixel fixed focus camera, 910 mAh battery, 105.5 mm … Read more
