TELUS Mobility yesterday confirmed that it will release the Windows Phone 7-powered HTC 7 Surround and LG Optimus 7 on November 8th. The date had been pretty much confirmed ever since Microsoft Canada confirmed a simultaneous launch in Canada and the US for Windows Phone 7.
The HTC 7 Surround and LG Optimus 7 from TELUS will harness the power and simplicity of the Windows Phone 7 platform while running on Canada’s fastest coast to coast mobile network, creating an unparalleled user experience.
“Windows Phone 7 allows TELUS to extend its already strong partnership with Microsoft into new product opportunities that yield tremendous value for the customers we serve,” said David Fuller, Chief Marketing Officer, TELUS. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with HTC and LG, two of the world’s leading hardware manufacturers, to bring the best Windows Phones to Canadians.”
TELUS will offer both the LG Optimus 7 and the HTC 7 Surround for CA$99 on a three-year Clear Choice Voice and Data plan of CA$50 per month or greater.
