Not to mention telus has altered there plans and mine is way to good a package to give up. I'm a full retail guy from now on!

LTE wont be good and ready before 2011 and u can quote me on that and more than likely it will be summer 2011
I'm still holding out for an HSPA Storm2 to drop.
If Telus officially announces the 9550 instead of the 9520 i'm gonna be pissed.
Rogers might get it Q1 2010 also.
vzw said 2011 for LTE sm is talking about telus I believe since he lives in canadaQuote:

Yes I live in canada too. Telus will NOT launch LTE before verizon. Especially after they gave 800 million toward the 1.6 billion dollar cost of putting up that hspa network.Quote:

This is some good info guys, thanks!! Any thoughts on how much I could get if I sold my unlocked Telus 9530??
You would be pissed anyways, the 9520 doesnt work with north american hspa either. Only the 2100mHz European band. That is why telus is launching the iphone.Quote:

RileyFreeman is right LTE wont be launched in 2010 most likely late 2011 early 2012. And its true 9520 hspa wont work with the telus HSPA network. For this reason telus will be releasing 9550 and yes the date on mobile ninja is suppose to be right november 24. IMHO if you are on Telus and want the best BB get the 9700 if you are looking at a touchscreen i suggest trying out the HTC Hero its a wicked phone and its HSPA too bad it isnt a BB
for those of you still doubting

Just to add some back up to this photo :)
BGR is reporting that Telus announced that their handsets will be available for purchase at Black's. And if you go to Black's website and search for Telus handsets this is what you get ;)
Black's telus page
I dont see any 9550 or even a 9530 for that matter Bryan!?! but the 9700 is thereQuote:
