Best Buy Canada now selling Telus' HTC Snap for way cheap

If you're willing to peddle off three years of the prime of your life... well then, Canadians, Best Buy has an offer you simply can't refuse. Telus has yet to release its version of the HTC Snap on its own accord, but that's not stopping the big box retailer from doing its thing -- and at CAD $29.99 (about $27) on a three-year contract, we'd venture to say that's quite a steal for a WinMo smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard and global roaming capability. Anyone lining up at the registers right now for this one?

I'm not sure that the CDMA version that I assume Telus is selling has global roaming (GSM) capability.

Telus has the best network stability where I live, because Telus and Bell have a shared network. So our coverage and service is bigger and better than Rogers' service. Also, CDMA technology is better than GSM indoors, it seems.

I'm wondering when the Touch Pro2 will be released, because it was supposed to come out yesterday... Hopefully soon, because the 2 out of 3 phones that were supposed to come out this month are already out. Can't wait!

what, do you live in northern alberta? gsm/hspa works in all indoor situations. cdma suffers with bad connection in heavily insulated, thick walled, cement walled areas. it is telus who lies about its coverage throughout canada. also bell and telus do not share both towers anywhere. they piggyback each other which is worse as one sells the other allotments. there are no bell towers in western canada and vise versa eastern canada. telus was actually ejected from SK/MB for trying to put up towers instead of piggy backing MTS and sasktel. they do piggyback them now.
