SaskTel BlackBerry Storm2 9550 now available

By on April 22, 2010 at 8:22am in BlackBerry (RIM), Mobile News, SaskTel News, Various News

It was no secret that SaskTel was going to offer the BlackBerry Storm2 9550, it was just a matter of when and how much. Good news for those who are interested in getting a new touchscreen as they have just released the Storm2 on the following price plans:

3-year contract: $200.00
2-year contract: $550.00
1-year contract: $700.00
No-contract: $775.00

This is hands down the best device SaskTel currently has – until the new iPhone comes their way. Specs of the Storm2 are that it comes with a 3.25-inch display (resolution of 480 X 360), WiFi, OS 5.0, 3.2 megapixel camera with flash and auto focus, 3.5mm headset jack, Speakerphone, virtual QWERTY keyboard, 2 GB Internal/256 MB Flash and can hold up to 16GB with a microSD card, full HTML browser, Speakerphone, GPS.

(Thanks Joseph!)

  1. Seems like SaskTel is trying to rip off their customers by charging a ridiculous $775 for an off contract Storm 2!

  2. Rip off their customers? Their margin is likely only $50 by selling the device outright at $775

  3. A margin of $50? You made me lol. Telus sells them at $599. Telus pays MORE to BB to be the exclusive launch customer too, so SaskTel’s price should now be the same as Telus’ or even lower.

    $775 is a huge rip off.

  4. Sasktel has roughly 541 thousand subscribers, so maybe Sasktel has to pay more for a smaller batch of phones (compared to Telus).

  6. I agree with Shawn.

    775 is a huge Rip Off!

    Bell sells it for $549.95 without contract.

    And don’t even think they make no money from that price.

    Even if they have to pay more for a smaller batch like McCoy said, it won’t be that much.

    They just want to force you with a contract and we can’t blame them with less than 600 thousand subscribers. They need to get more clients before the new comers arrive.
