I just got word from Telus following Sprint’s announcement that they will, indeed carry the BlackBerry Style 9670, but had nothing to say about timing or price (though it’s likely to be similar to Sprint’s October 31 / $99 on contract). We had heard rumours that along with Bell, Telus would be offering the second…
