BlackBerry Storm to be Exclusive to Bell In Canada

Posted by Mauricio E.T. on Sep 23, 2008 at 9:42 PM

BlackBerryNews was tipped about how Bell in Canada will have exclusivity to the BlackBerry Storm 9530 for six months.

“Bell Mobility will be in fact releasing the Storm in mid Q4/early Q1. Also it will be exclusive for 6 months to the Bell system. So Telus will have to wait.”

Thanks for the news man. I hope it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to upgrade from my 8130. Not liking the whole condensed keyboard... then again, not sure about how much I'd like an on-screen keyboard either.

No problem David. I hope it doesn't cost a lot either. I do know that RIM is planning on making a touchscreen slider. Check it out:

Thanks for stopping by!

That looks much more appealing. My friends all have the iPhone and rave about it while I on the other hand much prefer BB (even my 8130). Don't get me wrong the iPhone is a great toy but that's pretty much all it is. The BB on the other hand is business oriented and that's something my friends just don't seem to get. If I wanted a toy, iPhone would be it but I much rather have a tool and BBs are great ones. It's nice to see RIM, Apple bashing though. I was really surprised that the iPhone lacked many basic features like copying text even though many touted it as a bigger, better, BB replacement.

I agree with you entirely. Like I've seen on some other sites, the BlackBerry is a "grownup smartphone". I believe this to be accurate. My friend has an iPhone and hes always showing me all the new games he puts on it, but is it really about how many games or songs can fit on your phone? I think the new BlackBerries will be very well rounded with what they offer.
