Telus Tour Pricing And Launch Date! Posted in News & Rumors on 16 Jun 2009 20:22 by Bla1ze |

It was only a matter of time before this information got out as the pricing and launch date have been floating around for a while now, but this documentation puts a more official stamp of approval on it. As you can see from the image above, the launch date for the BlackBerry Tour on Telus is going to be July 15th and after the jump you can see an image of the price points Canadian users will be required to pay to get in on all the Tour love. No contract $649.99; 1 year $599.99; 2 year $549.99; 3 year $449.99 and finally the 3 year promo price will be $249.99. Now I would hate to be buying the Tour with no contract but that $249.99 promo price is looking mighty fine.

very disappointed in this telus pricing and yes i am the one that leaked it
Same price that the 8830 price was to buy w/o a contract.
Mike
would you know what the pricing would be at the "teamwebstore"? As it is, I see the Storm at $509.99 vs $599.99 with no contract and $59.99 vs $149.99 with the 3yr contract.
if the Tour will just have this much spread, I would probably score lots! woot
think this means Verizon will be taking alittle longer to release it?
cx has been saying July 13th....hopefully he is correct. We'll see
I am totally dissapointed with the no contract price, I have about 1.5 to 2 years left on my contract and my pearl is just a P.O.S. Maybe I can talk to the customer retention and get some type of deal worked out.
$649??? Oh come ON this is so unfair, it should be cheaper for people trading in their piece of garbage Storms, already paid $299 when that stupid thing was released, never regretted buying something in my whole life. I have 1 year left on my 3 years contract and I HATE to have to renew. I'm so tempted to cancel and go to Rogers and get the iPhone but I have the best rate plan with Telus all EPP so $50 a month for unlimited everything. Ugh this is frustrating :(
Unlimited everything? not a chance hero
I have the same thing...! So?!? Whats your point...? Zero? Your just jealous you can't get a plan like that...!!! Just call your carrier and ask for a better price and they will give it to you!!!
all i can say is i really hope bell steps up and comes out with some better pricing
So much for the June 22nd release date.... Now how do I pre-order?
You wanna talk about Crack??? What is telus on? $649.99???
Seriously telus needs to get their act together.
Ouch!
Is that Canadian Dollars? :o) WOW!!! The key (for me) is waiting. The people who rush out to buy something hot off the press, are usually the people who get burned 6 months later when the price drops by 60%! :-O
650$ Wow talk about rip off.
I love every blackberry just as much as the next person, but I don't think I could pay 600$+ for one. Even with the storm that was unique, start of the art, the first bb touch screen it was still under 600$. While the tour looks nice and is what most of use are looking for, it doesn't contain anything that would make it worth 600$. It's just a more modern version of the 8330 it doesn't boast anything new or initiative or anything like that. I really hope Verizon doesn't try to pull the same get rich quick scheme that Telus is pulling.
I think the bigger rip off is the 3 year contract, damn Canadians!!!!!
Yeah 3 years is such a long time, and if I signed a 3 year deal I better be getting a free phone lol
The price is no surprise to me. News flash my American friends: We pay more for just about everything up here.
But finding out that I have to wait another month, that I will not be getting the Tour next week...that, is a big letdown. In fact, it (what does a vacuum do?)
looking mighty photoshopped to me.... image looks badly blown up, legal text doesn't sound right at all. TELUS doesn't do $20 + $15 Blackberry plans..
uhh yea they do. you can get a $20 your choice plan if you live in... let's say NS. Then you can add their blackberry email and IM 15 for, you guessed it, $15.
yeah... i dont live in NS, and i'm pretty sure TELUS main market isn't NS.... nice try though
but they do $20 + $15 blackberry plans bud, the small print is to cover all their markets.
I'm not your bud, friend. ;)
a friendly bud? ;)
I was forced to get the Storm on Telus. What a rip off company.
Glad i got rid of their landline.
no where on there web site can you find anything about the 9630 so i dunno how true this all is, bell on the 22 and telus a month later sounds iffy to me
someone please tell me this is not indicative of Verizons prices?
@patrick.bulter
never rely on cx or anyone about release date for verizon about tour . best wait for verizon to announced themselves to the public!
for those of u saying its photoshopped. it was taken from a powerpoint presentation. so it was a screen print since they can trace macros. therefore that why the pic isnt the best. This is certified. This is the first time I have sent pics to crackberry but
u are all more than welcome to go and look

i have leaked countless stuff to engadget and bgr and all the pics ever are in my photobucket.
which includes the first pics EVER for the telus storm. and diamond and touch pro pics all before they were launched.
so this is all accurate and u can check out my history on howardforums. same username
My "9530" seems so lame compared to this magnificent piece of technology!
Is it just me, or is everyone else tired of the fact that Canadians pay the same for 3 year contracts as our neighbours down south pay 2 years ... this isn't fair! who in their right mind wants to stay stuck with the same phone for 3 years? ..definately not me!!
see the trick is that telus always gives you an option after 2 years. They give you about 200 off a new phone to buy. Or they will give you the early renewal which includes a new phone on any promotional pricing. When I got my storm I was 2 years in on a Moto Q and I received the storm 200 off and they slashed my month rate by 20 bucks a month for 3 years. So I shelled out about 400 for my storm and telus shelled out 920. Regardless its profit for them but It was a hell of a deal for me and a lot better than switching to the "almighty" rogers.
Wow... okay, well at Bell the pricing for new activations/full hardware upgrade loyalty credit elegibles on a 3 year term might be anywhere from $149.95 - $249.95 with a data package.
Now that's not official but a very good educated guess. If they give the same data discount as they are on the World.. the phone will be $99.95! :D
is it worth waiting for this? i have the storm and want to throw it at the wall everyday. i agree with those that said we retards that bought the storm should get be able to get credit for a new bb! the storm SUCKS and is the worst phone i ever had in my life! and i've had many!
