BlackBerry 8130 makes its way to Telus
It seems only fitting that RIM would launch its BlackBerry Pearl 2 in the motherland, doesn't it? Available immediately, the 8130 is on sale with the carrier for a penny under $200 CAD on a three-year contract, $400 on a two-year, and $450 on a one-year, and a whopping $500 without a contract. Just in case the features slipped your mind, we'll run 'em past you again: EV-DO radio, 2 megapixel camera with video recording, Bluetooth with A2DP, media player, and expandable memory via microSD. If anyone up there has a pocketbook brave enough to bear such pricing, sound off in comments and let us know what you think of the latest 'Berry.[Thanks, Don C.]

$400 dollars for a 2 year contract? is it me or does that seem really steep?

Three year contracts are an unfortunate fact of life in the Canadian cell phone business. Basically, look at the US price for a two year contract (before discounts) and that's what we pay on a three year.
