[mojoengine]

humm now this sounds interesting. I am not a palm person but it seems that Telus is getting some great phones in the new year.

[SA5195]

this is gonna be a good holiday for telus!

[Kronk86]

...and the great thing is that most of the phones are going to be on HSPA. Which means they will be faster then Bell's current Pre.

[mr-anderson]

so TELUS is getting the HSPA Pre and CDMA Pixie?

[dirtyj]

Am I the only that thinks carriers are beating a dead horse with Palm devices? I mean I haven't heard anyone that's said a Pre or Pixi is going to be at the top of their shopping lists this year.

[dougfriessen]

The Pixi is getting bad reviews and just released and is at already $25 some place????

[Hog]

I cannot see the palm Pixi doing well at all with all the other good devices telus has

[lovemymobile]

looks like Palm is turning into a low cost manufacturer. Wicked OS but it's being overshadowed by cheap devices like the Pixi. bid sad. :(

[1984]

they still will have the best lineup and phones that reach all audiences

[Herb Tarlek]

I agree with you on the OS as it is really cool, but you just cannot help a company that basically built an industry but did not grow with it. Sad they are going to be out of business soon :(

lol true. Palm should have done a global release of the Pre, bring everyone on board at once.

[Frankie]

I actually think they will stay in business for a while. It will be cool to see what they are working on now as their next phone

[cracked]

now that's a good point about what they are doing next, hopefully something bigger. wil be cool to see Palm on TELUS though

[kmusky]

it's a shame that the hardware on the pre let the excellent WebOS down. It's a shame the new BB 9100 pearl will have wifi, and the pixi will not. That's a deal breaker for me.

[Herb Tarlek]

imagine if webOS was in BB and if BB was in the design of the iPhone, then add on the openness of Android Perfect device.

[kjb86]

I guess there's been no further news on this, more specifically the Pre.

I love the Pre and am looking forward to it, i've just been waiting to get my hands on a gsm model.

So Telus, please come through for me.

[underwhere]

I think a late Jan launch I read somewhere

[holiday]

pre is now $0.00 so I am not sure how TELUS will come in at a price point, plus the Pixi has not had great reviews

[Jim]

Yes this true, However Telus will be able to offer ............okay I got nothing.

[holiday]

Is telus getting the Palm pre Plus and Pixi Plus. double the MB

[lovemymobile]

I cannot see it happening. I think they will be getting the original ones as they planned to launch these before this one even a though :(

[pusher]

MobileCrunch has a hands on. No button on the front now with the Pre Plus!!

looks better than the original. When is this coming to telus?

[kjb86]

looks better than the original. When is this coming to telus?

I really hope soon

I've been waiting forever, and yes I could go to Bell but I'd never go CDMA

[holiday]

CDMA seems to be more stable from what I am reading :(

[kjb86]

CDMA seems to be more stable from what I am reading :(

Just because only Sprint and Bell have the newest 1.3.5.1 update which made a HUGE improvement

gsm still running 1.3.1

[Bro]

it'll be even better when 1.4 comes out with video recording

[underwhere]

will telus be releasing that when the pre/pixi launches?

[kjb86]

will telus be releasing that when the pre/pixi launches?

webOS 1.4 is scheduled to be available in February. Even if it's shipped (if Telus is actually getting the pre, which I hope) you can easily download and install the update over the air.

[underwhere]

are the rumours true that both of these are coming in Jan? If so I might consider the Pre

[12345]

I think it will be available near the end of January, that's what I have read also. Nothing confirmed yet :(

[lovemymobile]

I would think the only worthwhile phone between them is the Pre, Pixi just looks cheap

[12345]

Telus has a good lineup for 2010 so far. the milestone will be the best though

[underwhere]

I don't think anything is launching in Jan, all Feb.

[kjb86]

Kronk86,

You seem to be a pretty good insider with TELUS. Are they still launching the Pre and Pixi this month?

[disdeinen]

It's been pretty quiet regarding the possibility of the Palm Pre and/or Pixi coming to Telus... anyone have any further new regarding this?

[Ivan006]

I'm seeing news that the pre/pixi plus will be on Bell...maybe soon.

[mytime]

I heard that that doesn't have the same weight as it does in the states with the FCC

[dougfriessen]

what happened to the Pixi?

[mr-anderson]

M.i.a.

[becks]

until there is paid apps I would get people to hold off. iPhone is better ;)

[mr-anderson]

AT&T is getting this in the comong months, perhaps TELUS will too

[Skippy101]

I don't think it would be wise for TELUS to release this, not sure if they will last

[pusher]

^ agree - would have been good if they launched it when it first came out. If they do it would be sad if they sold it for anything above $0.00 on a 3yr

[1984]

I think there is a market for it. Even if they are both CDMA devices.
