CDMA Samsung Omnia confirmed for Canada
Author: +866.com30 Mar
Samsung Omnia may not be as advanced as the not-yet-available Omnia HD i8910, but it’s still a pretty hot piece of mobile technology. And I’m talking about it because that mysterious touchscreen device which will be released soon in Canada turned out to be – of course – the Samsung Omnia (not LG Arena, as I supposed).
The teaser video with the phone has just been released in its uncensored version, and, even more, the Omnia is now featured on Samsung Canada’s website.
As you may already know, the highlights of the CDMA Omnia include:
- EV-DO Rev A connectivity
- Windows Mobile 6.1
- 3.2 inch touchscreen display with 240 x 400 pixels
- 5MP autofocus camera
- TV-out
Rumors say the Canadian Samsung Omnia should be available via both Bell and Telus, but it’s not clear yet when exactly this will happen.
Here’s the promo video with the device:

Everybody is becoming more environmentally conscious nowadays, and Telus has just renewed a pledge to plant a tree for every phone returned, so if you’ve got some of those phones that you want to return to Telus, now would probably be a good time. It’s certainly a good way to cut down waste, and rebuild our environment at the same time. Hopefully technology will become greener in the future, and more advanced in the process too.

Motorola VE465 to be launched by Alltel and Telus
Author: +866.com16 Mar
The VE465 is one of Moto’s new semi-rugged entry-level clamshells that we first saw a few months ago in some leaked images.
Meanwhile, the phone appeared on Motorola’s official website, but with no details about where it will be launched.
Now we’ve spotted the VE465 on Alltel’s website, hence the Verizon-owned carrier will probably start selling it pretty soon – although pricing details are not known for the moment.
Also, Mobile Syrup quotes an inside source from Motorola Canada, saying that the handset will soon land on Telus, the second largest Canadian CDMA carrier. Apparently, Telus will name the phone “Motorola VE465 Active Edition”.
The official specs of VE465 include:
- CDMA 800/1900/1700/2100 connectivity
- 1.9 inch TFT internal display with 176 x 220 pixels and 65k colors
- 1.05 inch CSTN external display with 96 x 80 pixels
- Brew OS
- Stereo Bluetooth
- Music player
- Video player
- MMS, SMS, Instant Messaging, E-mail
- 1.3MP camera
- USB 2.0
- MicroSD card support, up to 4GB
- Talk time: up to 4.5 hours
- Standby time: up to 12 days
- 1.8 x 3.9 x 0.7 inches
- 3.8 ounces
Motorola VE465 may not be as cool as the QA4 Evoke, but it should be a good choice for users who only need a simple and affordable flip phone.

Looking for the BlackBerry Kickstart on Telus? Well, you’ll be fairly happy to hear that the device will be available on the carrier for just $50. Of course, such a price point means that you’ll have to agree to a 3-year contract, but that’s a fair bit of savings, considering that the phone is going for $449.99 contract-free.
