It looks like 3.5G networks are being developed by various carriers out there. Canada’s Telus makes no exception. The company has announced the arrival of their 3.5G HSPA network. It is scheduled to be launch in early 2010. By that time Telus will be working hard on getting it fully functional in Canada.

Telus is going to work side by side with Bell. That two carriers will finish developing the new network faster and cheaper than if they worked alone. Telus is expecting to pay around $750 million for the upgrade in 2009 alone. HSPA in their 3G networks? This piece of news seems more … www.mobilewhack.com/att-to-deploy-3g-before-the-iphone2-gets-released”>HSPA upgrades might cost even more in the years to come. While others are thinking LTE for the future, Telus is going to focus on HSPA. Good or bad decision? We’re going to find out in a little less than two years.

It’s not just Vodafone and Verizon that are getting the Storm when it will finally hit. Canadians are in it too. Bell and Telus are the carriers that have already announced the Storm for their Canadian subscribers.

I’d be surprised to see Rogers roll out a Storm. After all they have the iPhone to suck the blood of its customers with. So I guess we have to wait for official pricing and particular plans right?

Bell is going to launch the Sanyo Katana Eclipse for their Canadian subscribers. The handset will sell for $49.95. The trick is that you would have to sign a 3 year contract for that price. A 2 year contract means you have to pay $99.99 for the handset while a more simpler 1 year contract will get you a $224.95 price for the Sanyo.

Those of you that want the Sanyo without any kind of commitments will get it for about $274.95. I know it seems a lot for the Katana Eclipse but hey, you won’t be getting yourself into any agreement you don’t want.

Sprint customers you’ll have to wait for the US release!

Canadians will finally get the Samsung Instinct from Bell. The popular phone which had great sales in the USA already from Sprint is ready to be purchased in Canada too.

Pricing is similar to what we’ve seen so far. If you’re in Canada, Bell will sell you an Instinct handset for $129.95 with a three year contract. Should you choose a two year contract you’ll have to pay $279.95. While we’re at it, there’s also a one year contract available. The Instinct costs $429.95 in this case. Finally if you were only looking for device without any plans what so ever, well Bell is going to let you do that too. A free handset will cost you just $479.95.

Are you waiting for some colored BlackBerries to arrive from your favorite Canadian carrier? Well Bell Mobility is going to add new colors to their BlackBerry Pearl and Curve.

The BlackBerry Pearl is supposed to arrive in White and Titanium, while the BlackBerry Curve 8330 in red. In case you want to buy either one of those three new colored berries, you have to wait a few more days until August 8th when they will be available. I’d advise against that though. After all the Bold and Thunder are around the corner.

We’ve seen quite a few desktop PCs today and we have one more for you guys. The ipower X2.0 from Packard Bell has gotten our attention. It’s a gaming laptop with personality from what we can see. The design clearly indicates it means business. This baby will arrive anywhere in Q4 this year, maybe just in time for Christmas. The price will vary from the cheapest $1,563 version to the $2,816 top of the class.

Samsung Instinct might just prove to be one of the most popular cell phones of 2008. Sure that’s beside the iPhone of course. And let’s not forget the BlackBerry Bold is about to be released with the Samsung Omnia and BlackBerry Thunder around the corner. But still, the Instinct is going to make top of its class. Maybe that’s why Samsung it’s taking it to Canada too.
