Bell to Get Storm First in Canada with 6 Month Exclusivity?
September 22nd, 2008 | by BlackBerry News |
Attention fellow Canadians! BlackBerryNews has some news for you regarding the future of the 9530 Storm in the Great White North.
It has long been assumed (and most say confirmed) that Telus will be carrying the Storm. But CDMA rival Bell’s place in the Canadian Storm equation has yet to be solved. But thanks to a tip from a trusted source and friend of the site, it looks like the Storm will definitely be coming to Bell. But that’s just the beginning of what we were told.
According to our tipster,“Bell Mobility will be in fact releasing the Storm in mid Q4/early Q1. Also it will be exclusive for 6 months to the Bell system. So Telus will have to wait.” Ouch!
Speaking for myself, it isn’t exactly shocking to think that Bell could be getting a Canadian exclusive on the Storm. After all, they just spent a hefty sum re-branding.
What do you the readers make of all of this? BlackBerryNews would love to hear from you!

Question is to Michael..
Has this tipster provided reliable information in the past? Or was this a one time thing?

Yes, this tipster has provided reliable information in the past. They’d have noting to gain by lying to me.

Sorry but I do not buy that Bell will be getting it first. I will be sticking that it will be a telus exclusive. But i am basing that on my own sources
