According to a inform ended by The Globe and Mail, it turns discover that actress is losing exclusivity rights to the iPhone incoming mark and individual and Telus both are famished for the delectable device.

Apple’s acknowledgement to the claim? No response. Same with individual and Telus; apparently they are member by some category of end dedication that prevents them from cosmos flourishing to move some secrets (My interpretation, it’s not official).

We are unbelievably limited to gaming how this every rolls out. If individual and Telus do move commerce the iPhone, the gist it has on actress would be feeling of what would hap in the US if and when AT&T were to recap exclusivity rights. We’ll be hunting discover for every the parallels we can.

If you’re a Telus customer, you should know that the Canadian carrier will soon release some pretty cool smartphones.

Apart from the BlackBerry Tour 9630, which should be available in Canada starting July 15, Telus will also introduce two new Windows Mobile handsets: HTC Snap and HTC Touch Pro2.

Reportedly, HTC Snap will be sold for $449.99, while HTC Touch Pro2 will cost a bit more, namely $549.99 – both prices are free of contract, of course.

With a contract agreement, the two smartphones will be available for much less, but we don’t know the exact prices.

No details yet on the release dates of Telus’ HTC Snap and HTC Touch Pro2, but they might both be launched before the end of July – apparently via Best Buy.

There is a lot of buzz on this here Blackberry Tour phone, and for good reason: almost every CDMA carrier still around is picking it up.

We’ve heard about Telus launching it July 15, and Sprint has mumbled something about “later this summer” (coincidentally, just like MMS on the AT&T iPhone…but we’re not bitter). But we finally have word on Verizon’s front that they will be first out of the gates by launching the Tour on July 12, three days before Telus does.

Pricing on Verizon’s version will start at $199.99, beating out Telus on both launch date and price.

Anyone else getting in on the Blackberry Tour fun?

As crazy as it may sound, Canada’s Telus might release Apple’s brand new iPhone 3G S sometime in October this year.

Yes, we know, Telus is a CDMA carrier and the iPhone 3G S is a GSM/HSPA phone, so this doesn’t make sense, right? Well, wrong, because Telus is getting ready to roll-out a HSPA network across Canada, which should be functional in October.

So, theoretically, the third-largest Canadian carrier will be able to launch the iPhone 3G S. Of course, the new iPhone will first be offered by Rogers and Fido in Canada, but it looks like they don’t have exclusivity on it.

According to a post from Howard Forums, a Telus executive has confirmed that they will launch the iPhone 3G S.

If this turns out to be true, there will probably be many happy Telus subscribers and a few unhappy execs at Rogers & Fido.

Samsung Omnia may not be as advanced as the not-yet-available Omnia HD i8910, but it’s still a pretty hot piece of mobile technology. And I’m talking about it because that mysterious touchscreen device which will be released soon in Canada turned out to be – of course – the Samsung Omnia (not LG Arena, as I supposed).

The teaser video with the phone has just been released in its uncensored version, and, even more, the Omnia is now featured on Samsung Canada’s website. 

As you may already know, the highlights of the CDMA Omnia include:

• EV-DO Rev A connectivity
• Windows Mobile 6.1
• 3.2 inch touchscreen display with 240 x 400 pixels
• 5MP autofocus camera
• TV-out

 
Rumors say the Canadian Samsung Omnia should be available via both Bell and Telus, but it’s not clear yet when exactly this will happen.

Here’s the promo video with the device:

The VE465 is one of Moto’s new semi-rugged entry-level clamshells that we first saw a few months ago in some leaked images.

Meanwhile, the phone appeared on Motorola’s official website, but with no details about where it will be launched. 

Now we’ve spotted the VE465 on Alltel’s website, hence the Verizon-owned carrier will probably start selling it pretty soon – although pricing details are not known for the moment.

Also, Mobile Syrup quotes an inside source from Motorola Canada, saying that the handset will soon land on Telus, the second largest Canadian CDMA carrier. Apparently, Telus will name the phone “Motorola VE465 Active Edition”.

The official specs of VE465 include:

• CDMA 800/1900/1700/2100 connectivity
• 1.9 inch TFT internal display with 176 x 220 pixels and 65k colors
• 1.05 inch CSTN external display with 96 x 80 pixels
• Brew OS
• Stereo Bluetooth
• Music player
• Video player
• MMS, SMS, Instant Messaging, E-mail
• 1.3MP camera
• USB 2.0
• MicroSD card support, up to 4GB
• Talk time: up to 4.5 hours
• Standby time: up to 12 days
• 1.8 x 3.9 x 0.7 inches
• 3.8 ounces

Motorola VE465 may not be as cool as the QA4 Evoke, but it should be a good choice for users who only need a simple and affordable flip phone.

Big day for Bell and smartphones as they add the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 on top of the Pal Treo Pro launch a little earlier in the day. Thankfully the BlackBerry seems to have its pricing lined up and will squeeze your piggy bank for $29 on a three-year contract, a steep $349 on 2, $449 for 1-year and is $499 off contract altogether — though the $29 is apparently only until the end of March. Telus is also prepping this flippier BlackBerry for launch, though no word on a date for that just yet. In case you’ve forgotten the pink or black 8230 features GPS capabilities, 128MB of memory, external 1.6-inch and internal 2.4-inch displays, and the oh-so novel 4.6 OS. Grab it now on Bell’s site if you’ve been dreaming of the same ol’ BlackBerry in an entirely new and interesting package.

Update: Pricing updated as site was updated.

In the unlikely event that you needed a few final shreds of evidence to be convinced that the CDMA version of the BlackBerry Pearl flip — the 8230 — is real, feast your eyes on this heavy reading. Just-approved FCC documents show a device outline that can only be described as that of a clamshell, and sure enough, the SAR report indicates CDMA and EV-DO on the 850 and 1900MHz bands, so yeah, if this isn’t the 8230, we can’t imagine what it’d be. The timing on this development really couldn’t be any better since we’re expecting it to hit both Verizon and Telus in the near term, so quick show of hands: who’s buying?
