TELUS BlackBerry Storm2 Shows up in Black’s Online Store

Simon Sage — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:10:51 +0000

Well, it didn’t take long for telus (NYSE: TU)‘ acquisition of Black’s Photography to prove useful for blogworthy information. The BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Storm2, which has yet to make an official appearance anywhere in Canada, can be seen plain as day in the Black’s online catalog. This is one example of how telus will continue supporting the ol’ faithful EV-DO network, and isn’t just throwing everything behind their recently-launched HSPA service. If you haven’t tried out the BlackBerry 9550, take a look at our review; the long and short of it is that the Storm2 cleans up the SurePress clicking touchscreen so it sucks considerably less than the first Storm, throws in Wi-Fi, and OS 5.0 (which entails a lot of user interface improvements). We’re looking forward to seeing this one in Canada soon, even though telus still has a few other exciting handsets to announce in the next couple of weeks.

TELUS HSPA Network Goes Live, Here are the Phones and Plans

Simon Sage — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:04:34 +0000

Bell busted out their fresh HSPA devices yesterday, and today we have a similar official announcement from telus (NYSE: TU). Earlier this week, we had a chance to sit down and take a look at the new toys; most of the players you’ll already be familiar with, but here’s a rundown of telus‘ take on each one.

First up we have the Hero, HTC’s Android avenger, jam-packed with their custom Sense user interface. I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t packaged in Sprint (NYSE: S)’s slick, smooth, curve casing, but telus apparently wanted to capture the European flavour by offering something unique to North America, although it’s arguably reminiscent of Rogers (NYSE: RCI)’ HTC Dream in terms of aesthetic. Prodding a little bit about other Android hardware in the future, telussaid that they’re really not interested in vanilla builds – they really want to see some unique experiences with each manufacturer, and I couldn’t agree more. If you’re hoping to see the Hero on another carrier up north, good luck; telus said they’ve nabbed the Canadian exclusive on the Hero, and it sounded indefinite. The price point is also killer: $99.99 on contract, $499.99 off contract.

Next is the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Bold 9700. You’ve seen our first impressions, and they’re mostly good, though it’s still a pretty predictable iteration on a proven formula. RIM has been making a point to say that their Wi-Fi is UMA capable, allowing for calls over your local wireless internet connection, assuming your cellular service provider has a supporting plan. I took the opportunity to prod telus about supporting UMA, and they said they’re continually evaluating options, but don’t expect UMA before the holidays. Things sounded doubtful in general though, so don’t hold your breath. The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is available on telus for $249.99 on contract, or $649.99 with no strings attached.

Then there was the LG BL40, a ridonkulously widescreen device. I hadn’t spent much time with with LG’s S-Class 3D user interface, but the cube-spinning was kind of cool. The real wow factor was that telus was claiming a North American exclusive on the device. The original Chocolate did pretty well for itself, and I trust that the new one on telus will be equally successful. You’ll be able to pick up the New Chocolate for $79.99 on a three-year contract, or $249.99 without.

Finally, there’s the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) E71. There wasn’t much to ask about it, since it’s made the rounds by this point, but considering Rogers recently announced the N86 with 8 megapixel camera, I think telus is going to have some catching up to do when it comes to their high-end Nokia handsets. Still, the E71 is a great handset, and it’s available for $29.99 on contract, or $329.99 without. Red/white version is also available, apparently.

Oh, then there’s the iPhone, but they didn’t have one there for some reason. Maybe they think everyone already has heard enough about the damn thing. I’m tempted to agree. The telus 32 GB iPhone 3GS will run you $299 on contract, $799 otherwise.

We also got some numbers on the new Clear and Simple pricing, which cuts the system access fee and 911. Here’s a quick rundown of the smartphone plans, which all includes voicemail, call waiting, and conference calling:

$50/month: 100 local anytime minutes; 50 bonus anytime minutes; and choice between 5 local favourites or 1,000 outgoing and unlimited incoming SMS or double anytime minutes; unlimited nights and weekends; 500 MB data
$65/month: 200 local anytime minutes; 50 bonus anytime minutes; and choice between 5 nationwide favourites or unlimited incoming SMS or double anytime minutes; unlimited nights and weekends; 1 GB data
$80/month: 350 local anytime minutes; 50 bonus anytime minutes; and choice between 5 nationwide favourites or unlimited incoming SMS or double anytime minutes; unlimited nights and weekends; 2 GB data
$100/month: 450 local anytime minutes; 50 bonus anytime minutes; and choice between 5 favourites or unlimited incoming SMS or double anytime minutes; unlimited nights and weekends; 3 GB data

Devices and plans aside, we talked about the HSPA rollout itself. Everything was built right on top of their existing EVDO network, so everything completely overlaps. The situation in the prairies still sounds somewhat sketchy, however – a roaming agreement with Sasktel is getting finalized, but the Manitoba network is still under construction. In terms of future hardware selection, telus will be pushing HSPA for the first little while, but they won’t be abandoning their EVDO network; it’s inaccurate to think that Bell and telus are swapping out CDMA for GSM, since they’re really just piling one on top of the other. It’s also kind of interesting that the HSPA handsets will have no 2G connectivity, which makes me a little scared – it’s always been somewhat reassuring that on Rogers I could fall back on an EDGE connection if 3G coverage was hurting. HSPA does have its benefits, though, like simultaneous data and voice transmission; missing calls while tethering shouldn’t be a problem.

I also asked about the telus Black’s Photography acquisition, which is seeing a proper retail presence today. I was a little worried that employees in a camera store would know jack-all about selling phones, but telus was likening the situation to Best Buy in that they’re as trained as they need to be to sell phones. It will be interesting to see what kind of perspective those salespeople offer on phones with higher-end cameras, though.

The whole lot of handsets are available today, but if you’re excited for these phones, telus showed us a few others that will be worth sticking around to hear about. One in particular we’ll probably be seeing Monday… For more information, check out telus‘ HSPA landing page.

LG ‘IQ’ Shows Up in Canadian Best Buy Mobile Catalog

James Falconer — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:54:11 +0000

So what is this LG ‘IQ’ all about? You got me, this is the first I’ve heard of it. The device has made an appearance in an ad found in a recent Best Buy Mobile catalog. Pictured alongside the Rogers LG Eve and TELUS New Chocolate (the BL40). It looks to be a QWERTY slider with a fair-sized display. I’m assuming all of the standard features are built in, including Bluetooth, 3-4MP camera, WiFi, GPS (perhaps?), and the usual bevy of built-in apps. Should be interesting to hear what comes down the tubes on this one… But at the moment I’m hearing the IQ will arrive on TELUS (NYSE: TU) at the end of this month, or early December… and it will run WinMo 6.5 with a custom LG user interface. Stay tuned for more.

HTC Website Shows Off TELUS HTC Hero

James Falconer — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:13:10 +0000

Well what do we have here? Some HTC Hero love on TELUS (NYSE: TU)? Yep, that’s exactly it! To be honest, we kinda sorta already knew the HTC Hero was coming to TELUS… But now word has slipped out via HTC’s website that a GSM/HSDPA variant of the Hero will be offered. No real surprises (so far) on specs, as the new Hero for TELUS will apparently ship with the same stuff we’ve come to love so far. The only question I have left on the table at this point is wether the TELUS HTC Hero will ship with Android 1.5 or 2.0 installed. My money is on 2.0.

Check it out for yourself over at HTC.

iPhone 3GS and 3G Not Available in Manitoba or Saskatchewan at Launch

James Falconer — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:27:37 +0000

Color me unimpressed. With TELUS (NYSE: TU) going live with their new HSPA network, and a whackload of new devices (including the iPhone 3GS), I am quite eager for launch day on November 5th.

So, imagine my surprise this morning when I read an email from TELUS (pictured above), notifying me that the iPhone 3GS and 3G will NOT be available in the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan at launch! Booo-urns!

I hail from the city of Winnipeg in the province of Manitoba, and from discussions with friends and colleagues over the past week or so, I know MANY of them were looking forward to the iPhone 3GS launch on TELUS. Almost everyone I asked was either peeved or pissed at Rogers (NYSE: RCI) for one reason or another (a common thing, it seems), and couldn’t wait to get their hands on the latest iPhone from Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)… if for no other reason than to move away from Rogers. Sad, but true.

I suppose all we can do is hope and pray that TELUS gets their collective butts in-gear, and launch the iPhone 3G and 3GS on their new network ASAP. If November 5th isn’t going to happen, I’m going to have a timer running to see how long it takes them to make it a go. C’mon TELUS…. You pumped us up with all of this new HSPA network love, new device love, and all kinds of good stuff. Now you’re pulling it away. Not cool.

Note: I guess those iPhone 3GS promos were all a big, fat lie for folks in MB and SK, right? C’mon TELUS, there’s still time. Make it happen.

TELUS Launches Clear and Simple Pricing, Axes System Access Fee

Simon Sage — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:15:02 +0000

So, the iPhone and a bunch of other HSPA handsets are coming to telus (NYSE: TU) on November 5, but if that wasn’t enough, they’re revamping some of their plans with a little something called Clear and Simple, that will eliminate the much-loathed monthly System Access Fee and 911 fee, but raising overall rate plans by five dollars. This handy little chart shows how you’ll actually be saving two bucks on the old $25 plan, since it went well over $30 with SAF and 911 added. I wonder if lower plans will even out as nicely, but to sweeten the deal, telus has thrown in voicemail. On the downside, provincially-mandated 911 costs will still exist for P.E.I., Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and Quebec, but they’re relatively minute ($0.38 – $0.50). Rogers (NYSE: RCI) recently pulled a similar stunt, where they replaced the SAF with what they called a Government Regulatory Recovery Fee, which varied according to region. Just like Rogers, with telus you’ll be able to grandfather your old plan indefinitely, but you’ll hang on to those old costs and all new activations will be with their Clear plans. Clear and Simple goes live on November 5, but you can hit up telus for more information.

Confirmed Device List for TELUS’ New HSPA+ Network

James Falconer — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:57:02 +0000

As Simon mentioned a little earlier this morning, TELUS (NYSE: TU) is planning to flick the switch on their new HSPA+ network on November 5th. Along with the new network will, of course, come a whole whack of new devices. Perhaps the most notable is the iPhone 3GS, which will no doubt be the headliner. However, below is the complete list of TELUS 3G+ devices we’ll see gracing the Canadian mobile scene:

TELUS will also launch the Sierra 306 Internet key, which will provide internet on-the-go at 3G+ speeds. Looks like Rogers’ Rocket Stick has some new competition on the block.

For all the details on the new HSPA+ network, new devices, and more, hit up TELUS.

HSPA and iPhone 3GS Landing on TELUS November 5

Simon Sage — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:54:35 +0000

We had heard that the iPhone was coming to Canadian carrier telus next month, but they’ve just gone official with a release date (November 5) and pricing ($99.99 for 8GB 3G, $199 for 16GB 3GS, $299 for 32GB 3GS). telus (NYSE: TU) will be also be cutting the ribbon on their brand new HSPA network on the same day; handsets rumoured to make use of telus‘ new GSM support include the LG BL40, BlackBerry Bold 9700, and Nokia E71, among others. The new toys are a nice incentive for consumers, but I’m eager to see both Bell and telus offer coverage that’s properly competitive to Rogers (NYSE: RCI)’ well-entrenched GSM network, especially as everyone ramps up to LTE.

TELUS Announces the Latest LG ‘Chocolate’ Phone: LG BL40

James Falconer — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:35:19 +0000

At an LG Fashion Week event yesterday, TELUS (NYSE: TU) took the opportunity to announce a new LG Chocolate phone to the masses. The LG BL40 packs a 4″ WVGA touchscreen (tempered glass, at 345×600), a front-facing 5MP camera, on-device photo and video trimming, flash, one-touch copy and paste, WiFi, 3.5mm headset jack, and a heck of a lot more.

This is looking to be the most feature-packed Chocolate device from LG yet.

Of course, no pricing or launch date details have been released… All we know is the device is ‘coming soon’, so stay tuned for more as the information trickles in.

BlackBerry Bold 9700 (Onyx) Now Official

Simon Sage — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:00:10 +0000

RIM’s new flagship device, the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Bold 9700, has been officially announced. If you’ve been following the latest leaked videos and pictures, you’d already know a fair bit about this device (including that it’s coming to AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Bell, Rogers, telus and maybe even wind) but here’s a spec run-down anyway:

3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, image stabilization, video recording, flash and 2 x zoom
122 g, 109mm x 60mm x 14.1mm
2.44″480 x 360 display
New 624 Mhz processor, 256 MB of flash memory
Wi-Fi with UMA support, A-GPS, Bluetooth (incl. A2DP)
3.5mm headphone jack, microUSB jack, and microSD memory card slot supporting up to 32 GB
Optical trackpad
1500 mAh battery with 6 hours of talk time or 19/15 days standby (GSM and UMTS, respectively)
1900/1800/900/850 MHz on GSM, 2100/1900/850/800 Mhz or 2100/1700/900 Mhz on UMTS

For those currently rocking the original BlackBerry Bold 9000, upgrading to this bad boy would provide you not only with added application memory, processor speed, and an upgraded camera, but extra style by way of the optical trackpad, slimmer dimensions, and overall revamped style. Don’t worry, the keyboard you know and love has changed very little, and the leather backing is still there, if you’re into that kind of thing. Anyone who had passed up on the 9000 because it looked like a fatty next to the Curve will probably be reassessing their options this go-around.

OS 5.0 is also included in the new Bold, some of the improvements from which we’ve seen in the Storm2. A lot of the really cool enterprise stuff, like flags and remote e-mail lookup will be available for those companies who have upgraded their BES to 5.0 and have devices like the Storm2 9550 and Bold 9700 among their employees; in good time, though, OS 5.o will likely find its way to the most recent BlackBerry models.

There’s no official info on carriers or pricing, but they are expecting it to be picked up in November, just in time for Christmas.

[BlackBerry Bold 9700 Official Site]

UPDATE: Rogers (NYSE: RCI) has confirmed that they’ll be offering the 9700 for $299.99 on a three-year plan. T-Mobile and AT&T will both be selling the Bold for $199.99 on a two-year term. Bell and Telus have also confirmed the 9700; although with no price point, they’re saying November.

Official: Telus to Offer iPhone 3G and 3GS to Canadians in November

James Falconer — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:52:49 +0000

Busy day today with all this Canadian iPhone news. Just when I thought I was done with it for now, I received a nice little note from one of the folks at Telus (NYSE: TU)! Seems as though they have some ‘official’ word to spread! The statement/press release I received contained a lot of the usual mumbo-jumbo, but below is the important part:

TELUS and Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) have reached an agreement to bring iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS to Canada this November. Additional information about pricing and availability will be shared in the coming weeks. Customers can sign up for more information and updates at telusmobility.com/iphone.

I think that about says it all, right? For more details hit up TelusMobility.com/iPhone. Do it now, it’ll take you to a registration page that will keep you in on the loop regarding the whole Telus iPhone dealy-o. I suspect they’ll send out pricing and plan details as soon as they become available for public consumption.

Bell and Telus to Announce iPhone Deal with Apple Real Soon?

James Falconer — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:42:20 +0000

Well what do we have here… Late last night and early this morning I’ve heard nothing but Bell and Telus (NYSE: TU) iPhone news? What? Yep, the latest rumor has Bell and Telus launching the iPhone in Canada, as early as this November. Believe it!

Bell and Telus have been working together on their next-gen network, something that was needed to happen in order to offer such devices as the iPhone. Apparently the network upgrades are at or near completion, well ahead of schedule. Suppose that’s why we’re hearing these iPhone rumblings now!

For the longest time, Rogers (NYSE: RCI) has had a monopoly on the phone in Canada, and it looks like those days are coming to an end. Of course, both Bell and Telus aren’t confirming that this is indeed true, but expect to hear something more official sometime today or tomorrow.

These are exciting times for Canadian mobile junkies like myself. Rogers has had their chance with the iPhone all alone for too long now, and I can’t wait for the competition to come in. With Bell and Telus gearing up to launch the iPhone, and new wireless carriers joining the fray this year… I can’t wait to see what the new competition brings to all Canadians. Me thinks lower prices, more selection, and better service.

Bell Due to Flip GSM Switch This Month, TELUS in October

Simon Sage — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:41:54 +0000

The GSMA has just updated their network status page with dates for Canadian carriers Bell and TELUS (NYSE: TU). Being Canada’s only serious competition to Rogers (NYSE: RCI), the addition of GSM support will open a lot of doors for these two providers, both in terms of devices and service quality. Here’s a preliminary list of devices we can expect, based on rumours floating around the forums.

Bell: Planned September 2009

BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Bold 9700
Blackberry Bold 9000
Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone
Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N97
Nokia 2730
Nokia 6350
LG Xenon
Samsung T746
Novatel HSPA Turbo Stick

TELUS: Planned October 2009

Apple iPhone
BlackBerry Bold 9700
HTC Hero
LG BL40
LG GB 255
Nokia E71

We had heard before that the iPhone would be coming to TELUS in October, so that much lines up perfectly, but everything else is conjecture for now. It’s also worth noting that newcomer WIND is set to have its network ready in November; we’ve got a decent idea of what devices and plans they will be offering, but will they be ready to rock for the holiday season?

Telus Acquires Black’s Photography for $28 Million

Simon Sage — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:19:50 +0000

You probably haven’t heard of Black’s if you’re not from Canada; it’s a chain of photography stores up here, 114 locations all told and pretty popular overall. Well, it appears like the recession has hit them hard and for whatever reason, wireless service provider Telus (NYSE: TU) has decided to snatch them up for $28 million. The end result will be that we’ll start seeing Telus phones in Black’s stores, seems like a strange fit to me. I can’t imagine there would be much tie-in with services… What are you going to do, order prints of your mobile photos? Doesn’t seem likely after seeing people with big boy cameras walking away with their own quality pictures. Diversification can never hurt, of course, and there’s bound to be some overlapping gadget love between mobile and photography. Black’s has already been trying to spread their wings a bit by selling GPS units. It would certainly be cool to see more wireless-friendly cameras out there – maybe hardware that lets you upload pictures directly from your camera to web services via 3G? Yeah, that’s mostly crazy talk, but there are cameras that are going in that direction.

Telus to Unveil ‘Device Protection Plan’ This Month

James Falconer — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:53:47 +0000

Telus is gearing up to launch what they’re calling a ‘Device Protection Plan’ on September 10th. In essence, the plan is insurance for your device… and it’ll run you $7 per month. Great, another ‘add-on’, right?

Although I’ve never lost a device to theft, loss or damage (knock on wood), I could potentially see this extra insurance coming in handy. Manufacturer warranties often do not cover the entire term of your contract, and if you’ve had a device damaged, lost, stolen or otherwise in the past, this might be something to look at. Even water damage and repairs due to regular use would be covered.

If your device needs to be replaced, your deductible (replacement fee) would run you $40, $80 or $150 depending on the ‘tier’ of your device. New devices would arrive within 2 business days, ready for OTA activation.

You know, now that I think some more about it… $7 per month… hmmm… Ok, so lets say I pay $7 per month for a year and a half and then I unfortunately lose my device. That’s $126 I’ve paid so far. Plus, chances are my device would be in the higher-end ‘tier’ of their scale… So, tack on another $150 to replace it. Add on to that the fact that I’d probably want a different device anyways to replace the ‘old clunker’… Jeez, that’s $276 to get me a new device I don’t even want anymore. I’d call that an old-fashioned cash grab

Your thoughts?

What’s Coming to Telus on Tuesday, September 15th?

James Falconer — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:29:34 +0000

Telus (NYSE: TU) has launched a mysterious ad campaign, one that points us in the direction of a substantial announcement on September 15th. The ads have been spotted in movie theaters across the country, and I’m fully expecting to catch one on TV in the near future. Check out the characteristically animal-friendly commercial above for the scoop…

I have no clue what the announcement could be at this point… A big part of me is hoping they’re announcing some sort of partnership with Bell to bring the Pre to my area of the country, but for some reason… me thinks not. From what I’ve heard so far it is NOT a device, so we’ll have to stay tuned.

Let the rumor and speculation begin… GO!

Note: I love the drum-roll at the beginning of the ad. Reminds me so much of The Muppet Show.

Rumor: LG Versa Coming to Telus?

James Falconer — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:12:36 +0000

Rumor has it that Telus (NYSE: TU) will be launching the LG Versa up in Canada… the same device that has been around in the US on Verizon (NYSE: VZ) for some time now. Verizon’s model is the VX9600, and we fully expect the Telus model to arrive as the CX9600 (Telus uses the CX prefix for all LG devices). I wonder why they use ‘C’… Canadian?

Long story short, the LG CX9600 has been approved by the Bluetooth SIG as a CDMA device, so it should work just swimmingly on Telus’ network. Expect the Telus LG Versa, aka CX9600 to arrive in Canada somewhere in the $150 – $200 range. The Verizon LG Versa is currently running $179.99 on contract.

Telus BlackBerry Tour and Storm Won’t Play Nice With Upcoming HSPA Network

James Falconer — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:29:03 +0000

So let’s say you’re a Telus (NYSE: TU) customer sporting a BlackBerry Storm and Tour… Both devices work just swimmingly on the Telus network, and you’re happy. But what happens when Telus launches their new HSPA network? According to a leaked internal document dated in late July:

‘Please note that our current line up of HSPA devices won’t be compatible with the Canadian HSPA network. When the HSPA Network launches, Telus will be providing a new HSPA line up of devices that will work on that Network’

So what does it all mean? In a nutshell, if you’re a Telus Storm or Tour user, you’ll need to upgrade to a new-and-improved device to take advantage of the new network when it arrives… It’s that, or stick with what you’ve got and enjoy slower speeds. Enjoy slower speeds? That sounds odd.
