According to (supposed) internal memos leaked from both companies to Mobile Syrup , it appears as though Bell’s planning to release the 5.3-inch device on April 10th, while Telus may let it loose as soon as tomorrow. Notably, the site also mentions that you’ll be looking at an unchanged entry-fee of $200 with a three-year contract or $730 if you’d prefer the phone sans strings . . . → Read More: Is Samsung’s white Galaxy Note coming to Canada on Telus tomorrow, Bell on April 10?

 An alleged Magenta -branded memo’s managed to find its way out of store lockup and land at the TmoNews offices, revealing some not-so-good news for potential future customers. Per the leaked document, T-Mobile’s about to hike the price on its 5GB and 10GB Promotional Bundles data plans, starting as soon as April 4th.

According to fresh intel acquired by blog Droid-Life, Verizon Wireless has delayed the release of the HTC Thunderbolt from February 14th to a future date listed as to-be-determined. The memo, which was presumably sent out to retail employees, does not indicate why the handset’s go-live date has changed.

Verizon is once again reminding their employees and family members to put the customers first and refrain from buying a Verizon iPhone themselves, at least for the time being.
