On top of rumours of getting a refreshed BlackBerry Bold, both Bell and Telus may be getting the clamshell known as the BlackBerry 9670 Style in the first week of November. That’s not too far behind the rumoured launch of the BlackBerry 9780, and combined, the two should do a good job of keeping the…
Most of you young’uns in Canada are just starting your school year, and have a wealth of excuses with which to bug your parents for a new cell phone, while others might not be so lucky and have to get something on a budget. Lucky for you, our ear is continually to the ground for…
If you’re in Canada and itching at the hip to get your hands on a BlackBerry Torch 9800… The wait is well and truly on. At least this time we have a HARD launch date for ALL of the major Canadian carriers. The last we heard, Bell, Rogers and TELUS are all going live with…
So, when Canadian carriers Rogers and Telus announce that they’re going to get the BlackBerry Torch 9800 on September 24, when do you think Bell’s going to get it? Yep, September 24. Like Rogers and AT&T, Bell will be offering the BlackBerry Torch for $199 on contract, so I think it’s safe to assume Telus…
If you’re in Canada, and Bell is your carrier of choice, looks like there’s a new promo on offer you may want to take advantage of. On now until September 16th, when you pop into a Bell retail location, you can get $75 off a new smartphone, or $50 off a regular old feature, er,…

What RIM hasn’t said is what kind of timeline we can expect for such updates as it’s generally up to the carriers to approve the builds, but an…
Bell has just launched their landing page for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 (which is also coming to Rogers and Telus, let’s not forget). We still don’t have an official date for the BlackBerry Torch launch in Canada (mid-September seems likely), but at least now you can sign up for e-mail alerts when there’s any info.…
Remember the LG Rumour Plus? You know, the latest in LG’s line of Rumour devices, slated for launch on Bell? It’s been a bit of a debacle when it comes to this one. As far as I can remember, this is the timeline: internal memo states that the device is coming August 11 another internal…
Bell HTC Legend, we hardly new you. The Android 2.1 powered device, which launched on Bell only a couple of months ago, has already been tagged with ‘end of life’ status. What gives!? Our friends at MobileSyrup have it on fairly good authority that the issues here are supply constraints from the manufacturer. In other…
Following Rogers’ announcement, Bell has announced that they’ll be offering the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 on Thursday. That falls nicely in line with what we had heard a few weeks ago. The BlackBerry 9300 differs slightly from the the existing 8530 on Bell by offering 3G with better world-roaming, and including OS 6 compatibility. All…
