TELUS Lumia 800 Windows Phone now available from just $49 with contrac

[George P Global Moderator]

The Canadian carrier TELUS has an interesting deal currently active for the Lumia 800 Windows Phone, which is priced at $49.99 (dropped from $249) when purchased accompanied by a $50 (three year term) plan. The Nokia handset is present in black, cyan and magenta.

The device has been anticipated by those who have been awaiting for the carrier to launch the Windows Phone, but should a contract not be up your street, a no term option is available for $529.99.

$530? Yeah right Telus, it's like they want WP to fail. After Rogers released the super cheap 710 at $255, I was expecting the 800 to be maximum $450. No way this phone is worth $530, not made by Nokia, outsourced to Compal, plagued with problems that Nokia is currently trying to fix, rushed to the market... Hopefully when the 900 is released on Rogers, they'll price it more reasonably.

I know... I am not comparing Canadian plans.. I am comparing Canadian vs US plans....

In US the same plan would be $200 and 2 years which is cheaper.....

only justification is if the monthly cost is cheaper...

I know that lol I was just pointing out that plans in Canada are ridiculous in general. You're paying more for the phone and a 3 year plan that you will in the US for a 2 year plan, makes no sense :|

Actually whats funnier is Rogers is going to sell the Lumia 900 for $499.99 off contract, so Telus will be selling the 800 for more than its larger / better cousin.
