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

Good news for Bell customers: the carrier has managed to get the HTC Touch Pro before Telus and already sells it for $239.95 CAD (about $195) with a 3-year contract. If you think that's too long, don't worry, Telus isn't better when it comes to contract terms.

Fortunately for most of us, such rules exist only in Canada.

Telus Mobility has finally released the CDMA HTC Touch Pro for its customers in Canada. All willing can get it for $299.99 on a 3-year agreement (why not for the lifetime?), or you can pay $549.99, $599.99 or $649.99 on a 2-, 1-year plans and outright, respectively.

Who's getting one?

Telus has announced a new phone with a QWERTY keyboard phone for its subscribers, the Samsung m540 Slyde. Featuring a 2Mpix camera, GPS navigation, 2.1" display, and the QWERTY keyboard this phone comes in either black or pink, and will be available at the following prices:

• $179.99 with a 3-year contract;
• $49.99 with a 2-year contract;

According to some sources, the release of the BlackBerry Storm on Telus has been delayed till early December. Thus we can expect the touchscreen Blackberry to be out by Dec 8th, just in time for the holiday season.

As expected, Telus has launched the LG Dare today. The phone is available now for $349.99 off contract, $299.99 with a 1-year agreement, $199.99 with a 2-year contract, and as low as $99.99 with a 3-year contract. I just wonder why the didn't they release it earlier.
