Windows Phone 8.1 BLU smartphones now available in Canada

BLU Windows Phone 8.1 lineupBLU, a U.S.-based company producing entry and mid-range smartphones, jumped on the Windows Phone 8.1 bandwagon last month. It unveiled the BLU Win JR and Win HD  at the CTIA Super Mobility Week 2014 in Las Vegas. Both have now made their way to Canada and are now available through the Microsoft Stores.
