Whether you’re looking to get your first Smartphone, or just upgrade your current one, the new line up of BlackBerries might be just what you’re looking for. With some of the biggest upgrades, these three new editions have more features, power and pizazz. So what’s new? The New BlackBerry Bold 9900, Torch 9810, and Torch 9860 each have the great features you already love in BlackBerries as well as those upgrades you’ve been waiting for! What have they upgraded? The Operating System, the Graphics, the Touch and the Feel.
The Operating System
BlackBerry® 7 is a smoother and faster BlackBerry OS, with breakthrough technologies and new apps and experiences. It has a new browser that offers incredibly fast page load times, better web-based gaming, and seamless scrolling and zooming. It has a new voice-activated universal search for hands-free searching within the device and across the web.
The Graphics
Reach out and touch your smartphone like never before, swiping, pinching and zooming on the Liquid Graphics™ touch screens. All three new BlackBerries have touchscreens, with a 24-bit high-res display, giving you fluid animations and instant response times. Plus, with 720pHD video recording and an impressive 5 MP camera, you’ll capture great graphics too!
The Touch
The original Torch was the first BlackBerry with a touch screen, but in in the Smartphone world, it seems standard now. The newest Torch 9860 is full touch screen, a first for BlackBerry, while the Torch 9810 and Bold 9900 keep the full QWERTY keyboard along with the touch-screen for those who like that more tactile typing.
The Feel
These three BlackBerries are some of the thinnest and lightest RIM has ever come out with! The Bold 9900 measuring just 0.41 inches thick, and weighs a feather light 4.59 oz! The Torch 9860 is a slightly thicker and heavier at 0.45 inches and 4.76 oz, while the Torch 9810 is 0.57 inches thanks to the slide out QWERTY, and a heftier 5.68 oz, but it isn’t a brick by any means!
Any of these BlackBerries are a great choice for those new to Smartphones or the advanced user! Each is Playbook ready and features the Optical Trackpad. For more information visit the Phone Experts – Parkland Mall, Bower Place, Gaetz Ave, and Taylor Drive – you authorized TELUS Dealer.

Optik is a year old and things have certainly changed. Optik TV and High Speed Internet have grown from their original starting point and are better than ever! With so many cool new features, it’s amazing to think they are still relatively new products. If you’re still debating whether Optik can really beat standard cable TV and internet, have a look at these features and decide for yourself.
How Does Optik TV Beat Cable?
Optik TV has a distinct advantage over cable when it comes to three key categories: Hardware, Content, and Viewing Experience. The hardware Optik TV uses is all HD and 3D ready and you can even use an Xbox 360 as a HD Digital Box so you can save hassle and cords. The HD PVR from TELUS can record almost double the hours of HD programming as cable and can record up to three shows at once, be programmed from your TELUS Smartphone and you can even pause a program in one room and pick it up in another so you’re not stuck at one TV. Pretty cool!
The content of Optik TV is unparalleled. With 500+ channels, compared to cable’s 361, and by far the most multicultural programming with 34 distinct channels to cable’s 15, Optik TV blows cable out of the water. More choices, more PVRing, more relaxing.
When talking about the viewing experience, cable has nothing on Optik TV. Picture-In-Picture channel surfing means you don’t miss a second of the action. And, don’t miss a second of your friends’ actions either with Facebook on TV. Update your status and keep watching your shows, all on the same screen. Plus the instant channel changing and enhanced program search functions makes finding and getting to your show even easier.
The Cherry on top? When you sign up for 3 years of Optik TV, you receive a free HD PVR Rental, a $15 savings every month!
How Does Optik High Speed Internet Beat Cable Internet?
Optik High Speed Internet has so many options; it’s perfectly customizable to your needs and uses. Whether you want to work, play or both, Optik High Speed Internet offers enough speed to get you where you need to go in a hurry. The built in Wi-Fi easily connects to your Smartphone, saving your mobility data for when you’re actually on the go and need it. Plus, wirelessly networking your home devices, allows content to be shared and easily transferred.
TELUS Optik and High Speed Internet even help out in other areas of the home too! Sign a two year agreement and choose between a free Xbox 360 and $200 to use towards the purchase of a tablet at a TELUS store. Need Internet AND a new laptop? TELUS offers the Easy PC program, where a new HP G6 laptop is only $15/month on a 2 year Internet agreement.
TELUS makes your home future friendly and easy! One bill covers your TV, Internet and home phone and gives the most current technology and deals.
