Canadians won’t have to wait long for their version of the LG G2. The 5.2-inch smartphone is now due to reach Bell, Rogers, Sasktel, Telus, Videotron and Wind Mobile on September 27th, two days after it launches on T-Mobile in the States. The carriers haven’t yet divulged pricing, although we’re not expecting Bell, Rogers or Telus to charge much more than $200 on contract, like some of their American counterparts.

LG was unsurprisingly silent regarding a Canadian launch for the G2 at its New York City event, but it’s making up for that today with initial release details for the country. As in the US, LG plans to support most larger carriers: its 5.2-inch phone will be available this fall through Bell, Rogers, SaskTel, Telus, Videotron and Wind Mobile. There are no mentions of pricing at this stage, although the Canadian G2 will share the American variant’s 3,000mAh battery and 32GB of storage. It will at least offer more variety in the local smartphone selection — when the G2 ships, many Canucks will see at least two Android flagships on their network of choice.

It’s usually safe to presume that BlackBerry will give the most love to its home country, and that’s proving reasonable with the BlackBerry Q10. Bell, Rogers and Telus have all confirmed that they’ll be carrying the QWERTY-equipped smartphone on May 1st, quite possibly putting them on the cutting edge of the Q10 launch schedule. Smaller networks like Fido, Koodo, Sasktel and Virgin Mobile are also on deck. The big three are already taking pre-orders today, but we’d brace for a rather steep price premium — they’re all asking about $199 for the Q10 on a three-year contract, which is more expensive than many of the phone’s touch-only rivals. BlackBerry hasn’t outlined plans for the US or other countries yet, but we’re hoping they get a slightly better deal.
