      As a phone (flagship) it is really interesting, etc. But as availability yes it is really limited, unfortunately.

        I wished these exclusivity deals were timed.
        Like exclusive to Telus... for 4 months.

        That gives Telus lots of marketing and breathing room to flounder about.
        But allows people to get their hands on one in a somewhat reasonable amount of time.
        If it was 6 months time, that's not too good, as the successor may be out soon.

        Though it would be neat for people to just buy the unlocked version upfront from the OEM's directly/online... and just get more affordable carrier service.

              At least cell phone unlocking is going to be free by December 1st anyway: http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/crtc-wireless-code-cellphone-1.4161711

                    Wish it were international :(, would love to get one (green colour).

                    Such an excellent smartphone, its got the coolest design i have seen so far and definetly has an awesome material combination (glass + ceramic + titanium). Sadly the lack of an IP67-68 rating is truly detrimental :/.

                    I suppose the Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL are still coming out... and the OnePlus 5 that is.

                      This will flop like a wet jelly

                        I am an Indian and I have heard that Telus holds the number 1 position in network department in Canada.
                        Is it true? If yes, how good it is?

                          Not interested. Keep your weird camera cutout and your measly 4 gigabytes of RAM to yourselves.

                            Carrier exclusivity spoils the sales of the phone. When will manufacturers understand this
