TELUS Canadian HSPA network
Today an internal document specifically about the TELUS BlackBerry Storm and Tour has spread through
mobilesyrup.com, describes work on their current network. The document titled ”
BlackBerry Tour,
BlackBerry Storm & International Roaming and HSPA” states that “Please note that our current line up of HSPA devices won’t be compatible with the Canadian HSPA network. When the HSPA Network launches TELUS will be providing a new HSPA line up of devices that will work on that Network”. It goes on to say that the “BlackBerry Tour 9630 and BlackBerry 9630 Smartphones suport dual-band 800/1900 MHz CDMA/EVDO Rev A Networks in North America. If our clients are located overseas, these BlacBerry Smartphones can roam onto a HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) network. Note: These overseas networks should not be confused with the future launch of our HSPA network. Our current devices will not work on our HSPA network.” So, if you have a Tour or Storm and want faster speeds, you’ll have to either upgrade to a new device or stay with the current speeds you have now.
