BlackBerry Pearl 3G hitting Telus next month for $30

We’ve been surmising that RIM’s brand-spanking-new BlackBerry Pearl 3G has a decent shot at becoming a runaway hit if carriers can offer it for peanuts, and Canada’s Telus is off to a good start with the announcement that it’ll hit for CAD $29.99 (about $30) on a three-year contract starting next month. It looks like these guys will only be offering the 20-key version, but there’ll be a choice of two colors: black and pink, a Telus exclusive (only within Canadian borders, we’d assume). Without a CDMA version of the phone in sight, what do you want to bet they’re thanking their lucky stars they’ve got their HSPA network up and running now?
