BGR reports that Telus will soon start selling the Blackberry Storm, and it won't come cheap, as you may guess. However, high prices won't stop anyone willing to get the device before Christmas. So, are you ready to spend any of the following amounts for the cherished touchscreen BlackBerry?

• $649.99 with no contract;
• $599.99 with 1-year contract;
• $549.

According to Boy Genius, Rogers will be launching a pink BlackBerry Bold sometime soon. Obviously they're targeting the female market, as pink handsets are definitely not for men. Also, the carrier has confirmed the pricing and launch date of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 - $149.99 with a 3-year contract coming in January 2009.

The picture above is fake.

Here's a new live photo of the Sprint’s upcoming IDEN BlackBerry 8350i, which probably means that the phone is still coming towards the release. But before you spend your hard-earned cash on it, there are some issues that are to be considered first: crappy 2.5mm headphone jack insead of 3.5mm one, PTT (push-to-talk) button can’t be reassigned to something else, and bad signal reception.

Not everyone can afford to spend $400 before rebate on a phone, even if it's a BlackBerry Bold. So if AT&T's offer doesn't suit you, do consider Wal-Mart instead. There, an authorized retailer LetsTalk offers the handset for just $149.99 after a $100.00 mail-in rebate. Looks good and dubious at  the same time. Be sure to read the contract closely before you make the purchase, as it may contain additional plan requirements.

Just to let you know, Virgin Mobile has released the BlackBerry Curve 8330 in Canada. If you're interested, here's the available pricing for the handset:

• $49.99 on a 3-year contract;
• $329.99 on a  2-year plan;
• $379.99 on a 1-year plan;
• $429.99 for 30 days

Want to buy the BlackBerry Storm from Verizon cheaper? Sure you do! LetsTalk offers an option to get the phone for just $99! How come? Easy, the customer will also be obliged to sign up for a plan package of $69.99 or higher. A lot of people were planning to do just that, so why not try the aforesaid offer?

Hurray! Verizon has finally released the BlackBerry Storm! The touchscreen BlackBerry is now available for $199.99 on contract. Don't retard and get it while it's hot!

Sprint has finally updated its rather outdated iDEN lineup with the BlackBerry 8350i, which has recently passed the FCC. The phone will be available as soon as December 1st and apparently will be targeted at office workers. Don't ask what's the price, as we don't know it.

Here's the pricing info for those who plan to purchase the Verizon's BlackBerry Storm through Best Buy. There are three options available: the unlocked version costs $599.99, and if you choose the 1-or 2-year option, the handset will cost you $299.99 and $199.99, respectively.

A day after the release of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 in Germany, RIM has announced the handset for the U.S. market. It will be available stateside in Q1 of 2009, hopefully at the same a price as in Germany - $6 a piece with a 2-year contract.

Features of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 include:

• 480 x 360 resolution display;
• 512MHz processor;
• 3.
