Mon, 12 Nov 2007 15:20:03 +0000

We haven’t seen Telus announcing a wireless card for laptops for some time. Naturally, they’ve decided to change their mind just in time for the Christmas shopping season, and we have them offering the Sierra Wireless Aircard 597E. According to Sierra Wireless , the new ExpressCard uses the EV-DO Rev. A network to provide users with download speeds of up to 3.1 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 1.8 Mbps. So if you live in Canada, have an appropriate laptop (with ExpressCard slot) and Telus is covering your area — maybe it’s time to extend your mobility. The carrier is selling the Aircard 597E for CA$49.99 with a 3-year term, or for CA$299.99 sans any contract… [Via: MobileInCanada ] ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:CTIA: Sierra Wireless Finally Announces Their AirCard 595U EV-DO Rev A USB modemSierra Wireless AirCard 595U EVDO Rev.

LG Shine 8700 goes gold on Telus

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 11:25:17 +0000

There’s no doubt Telus, just like any other carrier around the world, is preparing for the hot Christmas season. Lately, we’ve spotted them adding the gold LG Shine 8700 to their portfolio. The device is practically the same as the original Shine, which we saw introduced on Telus back in September , it’s just… well gold finished. Meaning, if you live in Canada, or have someone very special living/working there who needs a new mobile phone - this device can say “I love you” much better than your mouth can. Diamonds may be the girl’s best friend, so I guess the gold is the next best thing.

Telus brings the BlackBerry Pearl 2.0 to Canda

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 17:42:59 +0000

It looks like our friends to the North are getting in on the BlackBerry Pearl 2.0 party. Telus has just made the BlackBerry Pearl 2.0 (we know it better as the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 ) official for maple-syrup lovers in Canada. The GPS-packin’ BlackBerry Pearl 2.0 is expected to hit the Telus network at $199.99 with a 3-year contract (we’re assuming that’s Canadian dollars, not like it matters now that the Looney is on par with the USD), or $499.99 free and clear. If you’re willing to sign away three years of your wireless life, $199.99 doesn’t sound too bad for a GPS Pearl. On the other hand, it’s going to be an obsolete handset in a year or so - that three-year commitment is pretty hardcore.
