All Touch BlackBerry Curve 9380 Shows Up in Telus Flyer

Telus BlackBerry Curve 9380 Flyer

We have seen the all touch BlackBerry Curve 9380 a few times and now we have some more confirmation. MobileSyrup spotted a Telus flying showing the BlackBerry Curve 9380 coming for the holiday season. It has a 3.2 inch screen with 360×480 resolution with an 800Mhz CPU, 5PM camera, and a few other perks. This is really going to be the first touchscreen in the Curve line and also the first without a keyboard going all touch.

What do you think of the Curve 9380? Interested or would you simply get a Torch 9850/9860?

curve-pink-9360

We heard earlier that TELUS Canada would be getting a pink variant of the BlackBerry Curve 9360 but we didn’t have a time frame. Now we know from MobileSyrup that TELUS will be carrying it for Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is October. During that time TELUS will donate $25 per pink 9360 sold to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. It will be available online and in stores soon.

Now if only RIM would get around to releasing a crimson red version of the Bold 9900 :)

Leaked screenshots show TELUS pricing for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and Torch 9810


Hey TELUS users, listen up. Everyone else is getting release dates and pricing for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and Torch 9810, others have the devices available already, and now some information has leaked for TELUS as well. CrackBerry member Leviathan123 snapped a couple of pics today that will put some of your questions to rest.

According to the screenshots, you'll be able to pick up the BlackBerry Bold 9900 off contract for $629. If you're planning an upgrade, you can get the device for $579 on a 1 year contract, $529 on a 2 year, $349 on a three year, and 149 on a 3 year with a plan of at least $50). According to his information, it will be available August 12th. As for the BlackBerry Torch 9810, Leviathan123's information shows that the device will be available in both grey AND white, August 12th. Pricing here is a bit lower than the Bold 9900 with the outright cost listed at $599, $549 on a 1 year, $499 on a 2 year, $329 on a three year, and just $129 on a 3 year with a plan of at least $50.

Last we heard these devices weren't expected until the 15th of August, so I guess we'll know in a day or two if it's the 12th or not. In any case, they're so close you can practically smell that new 'Berry scent. The only thing missing now is the Torch 9860. You can check out the second screenshot after the break, and jump on over to the forums for discussion.

Leaked: Telus Launching The BlackBerry Torch 9810 & 9860 On August 15

Leaked: Telus Launching The BlackBerry Torch 9810 & 9860 On August 15

Last month we found out that Telus would be launching a few new BlackBerry 7 smartphones in August and soon after that they’d be launching a total of six before October 1st. Even though RIM confirmed them as one of the carriers to offer the new devices, Telus still hasn’t made it official with their own announcement. Thanks to a new leak courtesy of MobileSyrup, we now know that Telus plans to launch the BlackBerry Torch 9810 and Torch 9860 around August 15th.

Check out a few (bigger) images of the leaked info below  showing the launch dates for each device.

telusleaked devices

The rumors keep on coming as the new BlackBerry lineup gets close to launch. You excited yet? Now we have some rumored release dates for Telus up north courtesy of MobileSyrup. According to this rumor these are the tentative launch dates:

BlackBerry Torch 9810 – August 19th
BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 – August 18 or 19th
BlackBerry Torch 9860 – August 26th
BlackBerry “Bellagio” (possibly Curve 9360) – TBD – Late September

Thats not unexpected since RIM has been saying the new device lineup was pushed to late August. Can’t believe that is a month away!

Telus Adopting More Sensible Early Cancelation Fees – Others to Follow?

ETF Verizon

One of the things that always bothered me about early cancellation fees is that carriers use them as punitive fines though they claim they are to “subsidize phones.” Carriers in the US have gotten a bit better at lowering the ETF every month after they got slammed by class action lawsuits. Carriers still claim they need these ETFs to recover the subsidies for devices but they refuse to base the ETF on those devices.

Electronista noticed that Telus up in Canada has changed their ETF policy to follow their sub brand Koodo. From now on you don’t pay the flat rate ETF but instead pay off the “device balance.” In other words if you bought a $500 device the contract ETF should go down in fractions based on the contract length. While I think carriers will still game the system by claiming the device cost is based on MSRP even if it launched 12 months ago but its still a start.

In my dream world you would have the option of a cheaper monthly plan that does not subsidize devices or a more expensive monthly plan where a portion of it every month would go to paying for the device cost unless you wanted to pay for it fully up front. Something makes me think that dream is a long way off though it might be coming faster with Tablets and LTE/WiMax connected devices. What do you think?
