Canadian carrier Telus confirms its BlackBerry Priv plans

Himanshu, 24 October, 2015

While Rogers is already accepting pre-orders for the BlackBerry Priv in Canada, another local carrier has confirmed its plans for the Android device. Telus has revealed that it will begin selling the handset on November 6.

@Im_Sure_ Hey Matt, no pre-order this year. The device will be available in-store and online on Nov 6th. :)

Interestingly, as you can see in the tweet above, Telus also confirmed that it won't be taking pre-orders for the device, which will be available for purchase both in-store and online. There was, however, no word on how much the Priv will cost when purchased from them.

For those who aren't already aware, BlackBerry has also officially started accepting pre-orders for the device, offering it for $699, £559, and $899 in the US, UK, and Canada, respectively.
