Telus Mobility has announced it will begin selling the Apple iPhone on Thursday, November 5th along with a range of 3G data plans.

The move will coincide with the launch of its HSPA+ high speed wireless network developed in conjunction with Bell Mobility.

Telus will be offering three versions: the Apple 8GB 3G iPhone, along with the 16GB and 32GB 3GS version in black or white.

Pricing for the 8GB, 16GB and 32GB models will be $600, $700 and $800 respectively with a $500 discount for consumers signing up for a three year plan. Data plan pricing was not announced but is expected to be comparable to data plan pricing currently offered by Rogers.

Along with the iPhone, Telus will be offering a number of new devices when it begins offering service on its new HSPA+ network, including the HTC Hero, LG New Chocolate, Blackberry Bold 9700 and Nokia E71.

Telus says the new wireless network which is based on the GSM standard – the same standard currently used by Rogers Wireless – will offer smartphone users theoretical peak download speeds of 21.6 mbps and 5.76 upload speeds and will run in parallel with its existing CDMA networks.
