LG IQ & Blackberry Curve 8530 coming to Telus!

Update – I just found out that this device will have Qualcomm’s 1GHZ Snapdragon chip in it.
The LG IQ mysteriously showed up in a Best Buy ad earlier this month and we had no clue what it was. Thanks to Pirate we now know it is a Windows Mobile 6.5 device. This device leaked earlier this year in a AT&T slide as the LG Monaco. One interesting tidbit is the original AT&T slide says Windows Mobile 7 so this may be upgradeable to WM7. The specs are listed below.
LG IQ:
* GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA (850/1900/2100MHz)
* Bluetooth 2.1
* Wi-Fi
* QWERTY keyboard
* microSD slot
* GPS
* 3.2 inch touchscreen
Discuss the LG IQ in the forums.
Now a lot of people have been wondering if the Blackberry Curve 2/8530 will be coming to Telus. I have now confirmed it is coming and should be out before the holidays or slightly after. Check out the gallery for more spics of both the LG IQ & the Curve 2.
