Hell, since it's a dual-mode device, T-Mobile and AT&T should be getting it too. Actually, regardless of flawed logic or not, at the very least, T-Mobile should be getting the Storm. It's not like they get the Pearl Flip exclusive for very long, as Verizon seems to be picking it up soon after, and T-Mobile needs every upper hand it can get to catch up to the big three. Not that Sprint hemorrhaging customers isn't helping that tremendously...

No, just Verizon. Your logic is flawed. @dud3

I *think* that Telus will get a short jump on Bell for this one, Telus is actively advertising "in time for the holiday season" which would indicate a Nov launch, where as Bell makes no such claim. In fact, on Bell's page (www.bell.ca) there is NO mention of the Storm. It isn't linked from their main site either. From what I can tell they will not be releasing them at the same time.

Bell got the HTC touch for 6 months before Telus got it, the HTC touch diamond is available on Telus now, with no whisper of when it might come to Bell. Bell has the LG Glimmer, while Telus has the LG enV2. Just because they are both CDMA doesn't mean they get all the same phones at the same time. It's actually pretty rare for them to launch the same phone at the same time. Often times either Bell or Telus gets the device first as a timed exclusive, or just an exclusive.
