The HTC Touch Pro2 CDMA smartphone for Telus Canada may now be getting an extra 3.5mm headphone jack. It will be placed just adjacent to the ExtUSB port and will give users quick and convenient access for headphones or earphones.
The GSM version of this device, though, will not have this bonus, and so GSM users of the Touch Pro2 will still have to depend on either the ExtUSB port or Bluetooth for audio connection.

The latest news that has fallen into our ears is that Telus is all set to receive the BlackBerry Tour on July 15, much at the same time, if not actually before, its other counterparts in the US. The pricing of this gorgeous smartphone is set at CAD $249.99, which comes to approx. $220, on an introductory three-year offer. Of course, this means that you will have to agree for a three-year contract with a voice plan of $20 or more and data package of $15 or more.
The BlackBerry Tour will otherwise cost you a shocking CAD $449.99 for a three-year contract or up to $699.99 for a completely contract-free device. The Tour, it is expected, will be much more advanced than the Curve and the 8800 Series, but this pricing is still way too much, we think. What do you guys have to say about it?

The BlackBerry Pearl Flip has generally received mixed reactions from the public who have used it. While some thought it lacks the looks that is expected of a BlackBerry smartphone, others think that the oddly placed trackball is the one that gives it the weird feeling. But those who have used the Pearl Flip from Telus are not really disappointed with it. While it does come with it problems, it also has a lot going for it.
The specs of the Pearl Flip include a SureType QWERTY keyboard, 2MP camera with video, Bluetooth, media player, microSD card BlackBerry Maps, wireless email and light sensing screen among the other usual stuff a smartphone offers you.
This device is shortly expected shortly on Alltel and Verizon, so we thought you might as well have a good look at all its specs. The pros of the Pearl Flip include a nice keypad that works well, appealing form factor and external LCD offering new functionality. The minuses include the fact that the phone is a wee bit on the heavy side, the trackball does not go too easy on the eyes and the video capability is not quite up to the mark. All-in-all, the BlackBerry 8230 Pearl Flip is definitely worth a look.
