With November just around the corner, Telus has taken this opportunity to announce that they will be releasing their iPhone 3G offerings on November 5th. 
No surprises as far as pricing is concerned. The 3G S 16GB model will still retail for $199.99, the 32GB variant for $299.99, and the iPhone 3G 8GB for $99.99 on a 3-year contract similar to Rogers.

It's not as many phones as what Bell has on tap, but it is a pretty diverse lineup to say the least. The HTC Hero will delight Google Android aficionados in Canada, and the LG Chocolate BL40 will be a special treat for multimedia junkies. No word on when these will be made available, but now would be a good time to start saving up.
