Earlier this month, I posted about Bell & Telus’ jump on the iPhone bandwagon. It’s official, as Telus announced the iPhone will become available starting November 5th on it’s new HSPA+ network. The pricing is as follows:

• 8GB iPhone 3G: $99.99 on a 3-year contract OR $599.99 with no contract

Along with the iPhone, Telus has also revealed some new smartphones that will be on the new HSPA+ network, including 2 EXCLUSIVE TO TELUS phones, the HTC Hero & the LG New Chocolate. Included in the line-up also is the Blackberry Bold 9700 and the Nokia E71. No word if these devices will be out November 5th also, but most likely they’ll be available around the same time.
