Bell launches Sanyo Katana Eclipse

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:37:15 +0000

So, where will the Sanyo Katana Eclipse first launch? Nope, it’s not Sprint. Turns out, the newest clamshell from Sanyo will be offered first in Canada through Bell Mobility. The Sanyo Katana Eclipse has been getting some disproportionate press recently, considering its mid-range feature-set, but there’s no doubt that the affordable flip-phone will find plenty [...]

Bell adds MOTO RAZR2 V9m, BlackBerry Pearl 8130

Sat, 17 Nov 2007 12:09:55 +0000

Few days ago we saw Canadian Bell Mobility adding two interesting devices. I guess it’s the Christmas shopping season, the people of Canada should thank to for the sudden expansion of the carriers’ phone portfolios. Anyway, the first device is the MOTO RAZR2 V9m, which we’ve already covered in quite a few posts before — hence I ain’t gonna waste your time writing about RAZR2 specs. I’ll only say that Bell Mobility is selling it for CA$249.99 with a 3-year term or for $CA449.99 sans any contract. The other device is RIM’s BlackBerry Pearl 8130 — the one with the built-in GPS — which you can get for CA$149.99 with a 3-year term or for $CA449.99 without a contract. Guess the contract that comes with RIM’s device costs more, as with a 3-year term the device is cheaper than RAZR2, even though both cost the same without a contract… [Via: MobileInCanada ] ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Verizon's BlackBerry Pearl 8130 on pre-order - get your BlackBerry Pearl 2.0 nowTelus brings the BlackBerry Pearl 2.0 to CanadaSprint's BlackBerry 8130 Pearl for $199Telus adds MOTO RAZR2 V9mSprint announces BlackBerry 8130 Pearl 2 for release next month

Bell Mobility adds LG Muziq

Sun, 11 Nov 2007 12:45:38 +0000

Choosing the right music phone just got tougher for Canadians. Previously we saw Bell Mobility adding Motorola ROKR Z6m , and now the same carrier is offering the LG Muziq. We’ve already wrote about the LG’s music-centric clamshell when it was first introduced on Sprint . I’ll only repeat it comes with a 1.3 MP camera, two screens (external - 10 lines, 262K color, 128×160 pixel; internal - 11 lines, 262K color,176×220 pixel), stereo Bluetooth (A2DP) support, FM transmitter that allows you to play music over any any FM radio source (like in your car), dedicated touch-sensitive music control keys, SIRIUS Satellite Radio support, and of course the microSD expansion slot. Right now, Bell is selling the LG Muziq for CA$79.95 with a 3-year term, CA$129.95 with a 2-year term, CA$249.95 for a single-year term, or for CA$299.95 sans any contract… Full press release follows after the jump. PRESS RELEASE - LG today announced the availability of the LG MUZIQ(TM), an innovative mobile phone packed with rich music and other multimedia features and a unique new interface that delivers a personalized user experience, exclusively from Bell Mobility. “This is the ultimate music phone because it is the only cell phone in Canada with a Music Broadcaster that lets you play music from your cell phone on any FM radio,” said Andrew Barrett, Vice President, Marketing, LG Electronics Canada, “Stylish music lovers no longer need a separate cell phone and MP3 player because the LG Muziq combines the best of both in one striking and technological leading edge unit.” The LG MUZIQ delivers an extensive array of entertainment services such as full-length movies, full-track song and album downloads and SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
