We’ve known for Truly a while that Motorola’s Milestone was steaming its way towards Telus, but what we didn’t know — aside from the irritatingly vague Q1 2010 — was precisely what day you could expect to find yourself lined up for yours — you are getting one, aren’t you Canada? We’ve at this time heard that January 26th is the rumored target date for Telus’ missing hero Android device, and that suits us just fine — though, we’re still waiting on a dollar figure. But please keep in mind, dates — or unverified information, that can prove to be completely untrue — like this can slip, so don’t come pounding on our doors if this slips back down the calendar. We’ll be watching for Telus’ Milestone closely and hopefully hear a little more soon.

Telus’ Motorola Milestone gets a date? originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Tue, 12 Jan 2010 05:48:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

You heard the unverified information at this time it’s official: Telus is getting the Motorola Milestone. The Android device is the same 2.0 QWERTY slider already declare for Europe and set to run exclusively on Telus’ new 3G+ network in Canada sometime in early 2010. Unfortunately, that means no Google Navigation unlike those pesky North American neighbors to the south. Hmm, in that case maybe you should just wait for the beefier Sholes Tablet expected in Q1 — just sayin’.

it seems like Canada’s Rogers will be among the first carriers in the world to offer LG’s first Android device, the GW620 Eve — and for North Americans, this is particularly notable since it means there’s a version of the device at retail that’ll theoretically work on Bell, Telus, and AT&T in addition to Rogers proper. We have no indication that AT&T’s about to actually pull the trigger on this thing (or on any Android device for that matter), though, so if you’re into the 5 megapixel AF cam, full QWERTY slide, and 7.2Mbps HSDPA capability, we’d recommend putting your unlockin’ pants on. For Rogers customers, we’re not seeing a release date just yet, but it seems like you’ll be paying a downright reasonable CAD $49.99 (about $47) on a three-year deal when it launches.
