Telus tells us: BlackBerry 8830 available starting tomorrow
Canadian carrier Telus announces that beginning tomorrow, Blackberry 8830 World Phone will be available on Telus Mobility. The lowest purchase price for now is a three-year contract deal for $299 (Canadian).
If you go to the Telus site now you will notice Blackberry 8830 already posted but without a link to buy. Fret not, for that comes tomorrow.
Useful site Mobile In Canada reports that Telus offers 50% of reduction for the duration of the contract chosen on the international transfer of data. This is especially relevant for the BlackBerry 8830’s dual-platform worldwide compatibility. I’d agree with Mobile In Canada that frequent international travelers would be the ones most interested in this plan.
