grrr…it aint here yet. I’ve waited 3 months just so I can keep up to date in Journalism. Early 2010 can go on until around April even. I really hope it doesn’t stretch out that long…

Telus doesn’t cripple smartphones? Since when. Every phone I’ve owned has had features disabled, every one of their routers I’ve owned has had features disabled. The only reason I am looking at getting the milestone is because it has been rooted. Otherwise I would jump on a Nokia n900

^^ J.Soul has obviously never owned a smartphone on Telus before (or Verison, if memory serves).

Telus is well known for blocking out features on smart phones. Even my old Moto V710 had features locked out. My current Q had to be unlocked so I could load 3rd party apps.

I’ve been with Telus nearly 15 years (Freedom Unlimited plan), and honestly, that’s been my only gripe. If I could make one request to Telus, it would be to stop crippling my phones. OK, and maybe decent pricing on data plans…

They’ve never been crippled on ANY provider.

If you’re referring to GPS unlock on former HTC devices – look no further than the limitations of WinMo 6.

Knowing Telus, they are looking for as many ways as possible to cripple the phone before they release it.

Or just perhaps, maybe, they are trying to solve the bluetooth (one-touch) hands-free dialing issue that has plagued the Droid and all other Android phones. Just dreaming…

Sadly, I’d imagine anything Q1 or Q2 would be considered early 2010. I’m just curious why they’re so reluctant to even give a clue as to which quarter it will be released. It makes me think they’re further from release than they want to admit.

Yeah, but Windows Mobile 7 is going to start getting shown around sooner or later. As anxious as I was for the Droid, I’m starting to hope again for WinMo.

2.1 is coming for the Milestone as stated already by Motorola. It will be pushed OTA.

Also, I really hope it comes out late Jan/early Feb, because I am almost on m2m with Rogers and want out.

I have both the N1 and the Motorola milestone GSM from Europe working on the rogers network. Both are good phones although A2.1 is definitely a plus for the N1
