Future Shop Canada has just put up two great smartphones up for pre-order. They're the Bell HTC Sensation 4G (with HSPA+) and Telus' LG Optimus Black. It's unknown when both phones will launch but they should be available in early July. Check them out here and here if you've been waiting for one of these, but keep in mind that you're going to have to walk into the store and put a $50 deposit down if you actually want to pre-order them.

Fido looks like they're almost ready to release the BlackBerry Curve 9300 in Canada. Some dummy devices are already available on location but it's still not available since they're waiting for their Curve 8520 stock to disappear. This one will be available for $29.99 on a 3-year contract if you're interested and you can check it out on Future Shop.

Acer looks like they could be bringing their own "Honeycomb" based tablet to Canada within the next month. This Iconia tablet from the company is scheduled to hit Canada on May 13th. It features a 10.1-inch display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, a dual-core Tegra 2 CPU, a 5MP camera, a 2MP front-facing camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, WiFi support, a microHDMI output, and a battery that'll last 8 hours.

Check it out on Future Shop where you can pre-order it now for $499.99. Yes, that's $100 cheaper than the XOOM up here but keep in mind that this only has 1GB of storage with a microSD card slot, while the XOOM comes with 32GB.

If you live in Canada and have been waiting for the first "Honeycomb" tablet to launch then the wait is over.

This tablet sports a 10.1-inch display, a dual-core 1GHz CPU, a 5MP camera, and even a front-facing 2MP camera. You can head over to the store or online to pick one up whenever you're ready.

When the page first went up it said April 8th but the estimated release date has changed. Future Shop Canada's new estimated release date is April 15th. The WiFi-only Motorola XOOM is still priced at $599 so that's pretty good if you didn't pick up an iPad 2 a few days ago. I want to get a XOOM - if only I had the money.

Future Shop in Canada has just mentioned something that sounds pretty good. The Samsung-built Nexus S that runs Android "Gingerbread" is heading to a bunch of different carriers in Canada. So far we already know that the Big 3 along with Videotron and WIND Mobile will be getting the smartphone but it's also reportedly headed to Fido and Koodo Mobile as well. That's some great news! Furthermore, the Nexus S will reportedly be available in early April and pre-orders will actually start on Monday, March 21st! Very nice.

11 days ago we heard that Rogers would be launching the BlackBerry Torch (9800) on September 15th and that rumour has just got some wheels. Thanks to the internal screenshot from Future Shop above, it also says that the smartphone will be launching on the 15th. Bell's launch is still unknown and Telus is rumoured to be launching it on September 16th, one day after Rogers. Of course, the promo price for the Rogers BlackBerry Torch won't be $999.99 like it says.

The LG (GT540) Loop isn't the only phone that Rogers released today.

This handset packs a 3-inch touchscreen display, a 2MP camera, and a microSD card slot. Mobile Syrup points out that if you're going to pick this one up you might as well get it at Future Shop because it only costs $29.99 on a 3-year and they're also throwing in a $75 gift card. Check it out on Rogers here - for $39.99.

Yes, Virgin Mobile in Canada dropped the BlackBerry Bold 9700 to $99.99 yesterday, but it looks like Future Shop is selling it even cheaper. The Bell Bold 9700 is actually available in their stores for $24.99 on a 3-year contract. It's pretty sweet so head over to the store now!

If you head over to a Future Shop right now they're reportedly selling the Rogers Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 and the Telus Motorola Milestone for just $99.99. These are both pretty great deals and the price drop is likely due to the new iPhone that's coming in the next couple of weeks (as soon as next week). Of course, since this is Canada you'll be locked up for 3-years. If you bite on the deal you'll also be getting a $75 gift card with your purchase so you'll be able to buy some accessories as well.

Thanks to both Best Buy and Future Shop in Canada, Rogers is now offering the white BlackBerry Bold 9700. For the Future Shop deal you'll have to get off your butt and head over to the store. For your efforts, they'll throw in a $50 gift card if you get the smartphone for $149.99 on a 3-year contract. The Best Buy deal (here) is just the white Bold 9700 and it's priced the same - no $50 gift card here.

The latest rumour states that North Americans will be getting their chance to get the black coloured [and sexy] Nintendo Wii starting in early May. Apparently, the US will be getting this on May 9th, while Canada will be getting it on May 23rd. It's just a rumour right now, but a bunch of tipsters from Target, GameStop, and Future Shop are mentioning that they're on their way. Nintendo hasn't officially mentioned this, but it's bound to happen especially considering that the Wii Classic Controller Pro is already available in black on Amazon.

In Canada it now looks like you have an option for the Telus Motorola Milestone. Future Shop should now be offering the handset for $149.99 on a 3-year contract, which is $50 cheaper than what Telus is making you pay up. That's not all though. As usual, Future Shop will also throw in a $50 gift card with your purchase so it's really $100 off when you add that in. This one is an in-store only deal.
