If they do merge, they would create a new entity, neither Telus or Bell Mobility would be, but rather "Bellus"... Not a straight buyout or takeover of Telus by Bell....but you were darn close :P You are right…Bell does have a significant enough customer base to still stay competitive even if they don't bring this phone to their lineup.

Everything makes sense. I guess, as a current Bell customer, I am hoping that Bell isn't going to make a smart move (which we have seen them do in the past) and consider bringing this phone in. I am sure there will still be a significant customer base. Furthermore, I think Bell can handle the lower numbers due to their massive buying power compared to Telus. As a side note, looks like my "incorrect" claim that Bell owns Telus may come true after all... <a href="http://mobilesyrup.com/2009/08/12/bell-and-telus-to-merge-within-the-coming-year-or-two/" rel="nofollow">http://mobilesyrup.com/2009/08/12/bell-and-telus-...</a> I like your answer.

Telus announced their plans to bring it to Canada, and all the US major mobile companies have all announced their position as well to offer this phone. If Bell had any intention of carrying this phone they would have announced as oppose to losing current customers to Telus Mobility for this phone. It just isn't a smart move for Bell to not have already announced it, if they indeed had plans to bring this phone to their lineup. I believe instead they are hoping the Palm Pre will help them keep those customers, and that is why they pushed for early exclusivity of it, but Telus announced they will also carry the Palm Pre, to prevent people leaving them for Bell.

On that note I find the back cover to be slippery as hell, they should have made it the same material as first touch pro.

I doubt this phone is coming out on Bell though.

They share a cell network, but beyond that they are competitors Good theory, wrong facts :) Bell doesn't own Telus. They share a cell network, but beyond that they are competitors

Since Bell OWNS Telus, they are using the Telus customer base in order to obtain financial statistics and popularity. So depending on how popular it is and which provinces are most successful, they will market it for Bell in the appropriate manner. I am really impressed to hear about the 3.5mm jack, GPS radio, and potential FM radio. This is above and beyond my expectations for this device. I also find the option of canceling my dataplan after 3-6 months very attractive... Can't wait to see TP2 @ Bell! I have a theory as to why Telus came out with this phone before Bell.
