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…
As mentioned during the launch announcement, iPhone 4S pre-orders are available for a number of countries today, including Australia, France, Germany, Japan, U.S., Canada, and the U.K. Though the iPhone 4S looks pretty much identical to the iPhone 4 launched last year, there are a few notable upgrades. The camera is now 8 megapixels, with…
Recently made available on Vodafone in the UK, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray is expanding its horizons into Canadian territory. Sony Ericsson has teamed up with Telus to bring the smartphone to Canada, though no details about pricing or dates were released. The Xperia Ray is geared toward mobile entertainment junkies with its high-quality display and…
The updated 1.5 GHz dual-core version of the Samsung Galaxy S II heading to T-Mobile is finding its way into Canada as the “4G Samsung Galaxy S II X” – because that name was just begging for more crap to be tacked onto the end. No mention of pricing or release date, but it’s probably…
Maritimers in Canada will be happy to hear that Telus is rolling out 42 Mbps HSPA+ coverage at major urban centres in Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. Moncton, Charlottetown, Halifax, and St. John’s are just some of the cities getting a go at the network upgrade. They’re labeling the network upgrade as 4G, even…

Not far behind Bell, Telus has launched the BlackBerry Torch 9860, RIM’s first all-touchscreen phone in a long time. The pricetag is sitting at $99.99 on a three-year contract, for $549.99 with no strings attached. The BlackBerry Torch 9860 has the biggest, sharpest screen we’ve seen on a BlackBerry to date, measuring 3.7 inches and…
Only three days ago RIM announced some devices, and already the BlackBerry Curve 9360 is available from Telus in Canada for $49.99 on a three-year contract. The BlackBerry 9360 is RIM’s latest entry-level offering, and which means there are a few sacrifices to be made. The 2.4-inch 480 x 360 non-touch display, 512 MB of…
Early this morning, RIM announced three new smartphones (the BlackBerry Curve 9350, 9360, and 9370) that on the outside look exactly the same, but have a few subtle differences under their respective hoods. You might recognize this as the Curve Apollo and Sedona that we’ve been seeing in leaked shots for the last couple of…
Following up on Rogers and Bell releases, Telus has released two new BlackBerry smartphones today. The Bold 9900 we’re pretty familiar with at this point, and is now on sale for $149.99 on a three-year contract, or $649.99 with no strings attached. The Torch 9810 is a bit cheaper, going for $599.99 off-contract, or $129.99…
