Even ninjas Need to stay connected Today is Thursday, March 11th, 2010
No I am not crazy. Today comes word from TMN’s own KJB_Ninja that Telus & Motorola will be launching a Android handset with a touchscreen for IDEN. I am a former MIKE user and I am sure a lot of people will enjoy this. Unfortunately we do not have any news as [...] Riley Freeman | November 5th, 2009 | Continued Its official. Telus has finally released the hotly anticipated Motorola Milestone on their HSPA network. This is the official North American debut of this device. The Motorola Driod is only available on Verizon’s CDMA network.

This gives small businesses access to Microsoft exchange or Windows Business Server for free with all the security of regular BES. This also works with any data plan. This means even with you BIS plan you can [...] It has been a long long time coming but Windows Phone 7 Series has finally been unveiled. Engadget has a video and so does MSDN. I have watched both videos and there are a lot of pros and some cons. Riley Freeman | November 5th, 2009 | Continued Not much else to say but Told ya maybe stick out my tongue for good measure? var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, [...] Blackberry yesterday teased the soon to be launched Blackberry 9650 which is replacing the current Blackberry Tour 9630.

Out of all the names floating around the interwebs this was not one of them and totally not as cool! Come on Apple! Like some of the cooler names on the net such as iSlate(Personal favourite) and iTablet. I wonder [...] I have been holding on to this one for a little bit longer than I wanted to but here we go. Telus will be implementing price increases to unlimited data and long distance features. From my understanding clients will be contacted starting the 4th and this will be starting March4th. The price increases are as [...] I just received a tip that a new TAB option has popped up in WIND’s inventory system. If you are familiar with Koodo, then you will understand how the system works. No official confirmation or explanation has been sent out as of yet. This is good news for those that cannot or [...] Riley Freeman | November 5th, 2009 | Continued The information just keeps rolling in. As expected there will be internal caps that WIND will monitor to flag potential network abuse. We all knew data caps would likely happen, but I never thought phone call caps would be in place. I do understand the need for this, so I can’t fault [...] Riley Freeman | November 5th, 2009 | Continued So it is Finally here. Are you making the switch? Are you coming from a different provider?

Some TELUS locations are offering this phone for $24.99 on a 3yr term with a data plan.

What horrible plans… Telus should be ashamed. “Clearly” we’re being ripped off.

Comment by Nick on 5 November 2009:
Have a look at the Telus listing of the HTC Hero and then go to “details”. Did Telus axe WIFI in that device? I really hope that’s a mistake. However, it wouldn’t surprise me if they did. They have a history of doing so.

Comment by Wenyen on 5 November 2009:
Love it that they finally have SIM cards.
Hate it that they don’t have any dumbphones yet…
Would love to get the hero but it’ll require data plan unless I buy it without any discount. I guess I’ll just have to wait until there’s a flip dumbphone available…

Comment by BlackBerryJazz on 5 November 2009:
TELUS has failed once again in its launch of new devices. After visiting 5 stores and calling 4 others, I can make the following observation: NONE OF THEIR IN-STORE REPS KNOW WHATS GOING ON. The BlackBerry Bold 9700 has been delayed and most stores haven’t received it. Reps at corporate stores are scrambling to figure out how to activate the iPhone. TELUS 611 Client Care centre was no longer accepting calls due to the high volume of calls – again poor planning for a launch of such magnitude.
And I agree with the posts above – the new plans are offensive. TELUS may have some sort of brand equity among consumers, but after visiting those stores today, there were TONS of unhappy customers – myself included.
Been a client for 9 years; our business has 11 phones with them. I think it’s time to move. The future doesn’t look so friendly anymore.

Comment by Fraunhofer on 5 November 2009:
Finally got through to client care and spoke with a representative in a department that was apparently handling HSPA specific calls and I was told that I could keep all my features (unlimited data included). So hooray?

Comment by Chris on 5 November 2009:
Although the new HSPA plans are very disappointing coming from TELUS, the most disappointing aspect is that customers who have free and discounted features on the CDMA network are not able to bring these to the new HSPA network. Very poor response to customer loyalty.

Comment by Me on 12 November 2009:
I called Telus about the phones, and as long as you don’t take the 3 year contract, you can keep your existing plans/features.

That is not correct. Even if you purchase the unit outright you will still need to change your plan.

Comment by Me on 13 November 2009:
Not so. I called Telus and they assured me that I did NOT have to change my plan, as I don’t want to have to pay for data usage while away from my favourite wifi spot.
