If you think the first device to rock TELUS’ LTE network will be the Galaxy Note, think again. The Note will be coming out on the 14th of February, but it’s the LG Optimus LTE that will claim to be the carriers first LTE-enabled smartphone. We’re hearing mixed pricing and launch dates, but dummy devices [...]
Well this just about clears up the lingering questions from yesterday. The LG Optimus LTE is officially “coming soon” to TELUS’ LTE lineup. No pricing or launch date is listed, but proudly says that you’ll be able to “Stream HD videos without lag when LTE network is available”. We’ll have more info shortly. (Thanks tipsters!) [...]
Yesterday we posted that the 16GB and 32GB BlackBerry PlayBook was price dropped yet again, now hitting a low $149.99 outright. Reading over the doc again gave a bit more insight, specifically noting that “all 3 PlayBooks are End of Life”. This is the first time we’ve seen it so definitive and could mean that [...]
TELUS’ LTE plans are coming together very nicely. We already know they’ll go live in the next few weeks and will be launching a few powerful devices: the Samsung Galaxy Note and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE. With the limited number of LTE devices available it’s expected to see some overlap, thus brings us [...]
It was probably a good move if you’ve been sitting on the fence about getting the heavily discounted BlackBerry PlayBook. Over the past few weeks we’ve seen RIM’s tablet hit a low of $199.99, but starting tomorrow, for 1-week only, TELUS locations will be leading the way by selling the 16GB and 32GB PlayBook for [...]

The PERKS program officially ended on January 1st and there was no indication that their 7.2 million wireless subscribers would be seeing something in its [...]
Well this is very interesting. Must be Galaxy Note day in Canada today. The confirmed carriers to release this Android phone/tablet are TELUS, Bell and Rogers with a “mid-February” availability. First out of the gate with the official release date and pricing is big box retailer Best Buy showing the Note will be available to [...]
TELUS’ LTE network is coming soon, very soon. Employees have just begun training and from an internal doc we’ve received it states that “TELUS’ network evolution to 4G LTE is on track to launch in early 2012″, but most likely it’ll be live within weeks. It’s already known that they’ll be releasing the LTE-capable Samsung [...]
For those looking for a deal you’ll be able to grab the LG Optimus 7, HTC Surround 7, Desire and BlackBerry Torch 9800 for $0 on a 1-year. This is a new 72-hour promo that’s happening on TELUS’s site and it’s for new activations only. Clearly these aren’t the newest phones on the block as [...]
The LTE (Long Term Evolution) race has been active between Rogers and Bell for over 6 months now. Both companies rushed to be “first” in various Canadian provinces. Now, the next major wireless player seems to be prepping to join the LTE party. TELUS announced in a recent press release that they’ll be officially turning [...]
