Sprint might have been the first North American carrier to launch the Samsung Rant, but Canadian carrier, Telus, is not far behind. Instead of being called the Rant, Telus will launch the m540 as the Samsung Slyde, but the full QWERTY keyboard, 2 megapixel camera, GPS, 2.1-inch screen and 130 gram weight will remain unchanged. The good news for Canadians is that the Samsung Slyde will be available Free on 3-year contracts, $49.99 on 2-year, $179.99 on 1-year or no commitment price of $229.99.
With the launch of Best Buy Mobile Canada there was a bit of confusion with the m540 price and name. An advertisement released last week showed the Samsung M540 being called ‘TAAG’ with price points of $29.99 on 3-year agreements, $79.99 on 2-year, $179.99 on 1-year or $249.99 no contract. Now that the device is available on the Telus website, we can end the confusion and continue to refer to the M540 as the Slyde.
