Motorola Milestone Updates

Monday, February 8th, 2010

There have been a BUNCH of Motorola Milestone updates over the past several days/weeks and the phone is definitely getting some nice… mileage. It’s launched in new places, gotten updates and much more. We wanted to keep you up to pace with the Motorola Droid’s twin brother so here goes nothing.

Milestone Launching On TELUS February 18th
It looks like TELUS customers only have a couple short weeks until the Motorola Milestone lands in their part of town! TELUS themselves didn’t “tell us” (see what I did there?) but BestBuy had no problem blurting something out on their website:
telus-milestone
This also means that folks with AT&T could unlock the device and essentially get a 3G capable Droid on their carrier of choice. (Via BestBuy)

Manitoba And Sasketchawan Get SasketchaScrewed
Aren’t you happy that the Milestone is coming to Canada? If you live in Manitoba or Sasketchawan you can SHUT UP! Just like happened with the iPhone, TELUS network can’t support these areas with good enough coverage, or something. Bottom line – you can’t get the Milestone if you live in either of these places. BOOOOOOO! [Via IntoMobile]

European Milestone’s Get Android 2.0.1
Users in at least Germany, France and Italy are now able to update their Motorola Milestone to Android version 2.0.1 and if you don’t have it through an OTA update yet, can do so manually through the Motorola website. For instructions, see the unwired article with details and a walkthrough!

Milestone Lands In Taiwan
If you live in Taiwan you can rejoice – the first ever Android 2.0 phone is now available in your country and as you probably didn’t have to guess, it is the Motorola Milestone! The carrier for this one is Taiwan Mobile – enjoy! [Via Digitimes]

Anything Else?
All you phandroids with your ears to the streets and hands on your Stones for Miles (get your mind out of the gutter, I was playing with words), any Milestone updates you have either big or small?

Dell Mini 5 Passes FCC With AT&T 3G

Monday, February 8th, 2010

This image has no alt text

The guys at Engadget have done a pretty darn good snooping job through which they’ve figured out that the Dell Mini 5 has passed the FCC with the bands needed for AT&T, Rogers, Bell, and Telus 3G. This wasn’t an open and shut case of finding Dell’s paperwork, this time it was a little bit more tricky.

The Dell Mini 5 was rumored to be manufactured by a company called Qisda. Well above left you’ve got a filing from Qisda that comes with… a Dell logo! And on the right you’ve got a picture of what is known to be the Dell Mini 5 sporting what looks to be the exact same thing.

Nice work, Watson!

Motorola Milestone Confirmed for Telus

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Telus has officially announced that they will soon be acquiring the Motorola Milestone(Similar to MotoDroid) into their mobile device line-up. It is exciting news for not only that Canada will be receiving yet another Android device, but that it will be the first HDPI, high density, screen on an Android device for Canada. This means the screen is approximately 480×854 pixels a.k.a. it looks really sharp and clear.

Top features will include:

  • Ultra-thin design (13.7mm)
  • 3.7 inch widescreen display
  • pinch zooming capabilities
  • 5MP camera with flash
  • MOTONAV turn-by-turn GPS navigation

There is no clear date on the release of the phone but you may sign up here for periodic updates from Motorola. Although the phone will be a little late in making it to Canada, as it was been released elsewhere some months ago, it is still much anticipated and exciting news. See you soon, Milestone.

Before we told you that the Motorola Milestone made its Best Buy Buyer’s Guide debut, well now it is listed as “Coming Soon” on the Telus site.

On the new page you can register to receive updates on the Milestone and its availability in Canada. It seems Canada will be receiving the Moto Milestone very soon! With all the news this week so far on the release, when do you think it will be available from TELUS? My guess? We’ll see the Motorola Milestone on TELUS before the end of the month. What do you think?
