Best Buy increases Milestone pricing to $599.99

By Rob Avison on February 21, 2010 in Mobile News, Telus Mobility News, Various News

Back on February 5th Best Buy informed potential Motorola Milestone owners that they could pre-order the device by putting a $50 deposit down.. they also revealed an availability of February 18th. Around this date we were given the expected price point to be $199 on a 3-year contract and $549 outright.

Days passed and the Milestone eventually launched, customers pre-ordered at the $549.99 price and it was even available for sale. We posted last week that this no-contract price was $50 lower than TELUS was selling it for. We’re not sure how many people picked up the reduced pricing but now Best Buy has unfortunately increased their price to match TELUS… so those lucky few who got in early also got the Android-powered device at a really good price.

Also… no surprise as the device shows it’s “Out of Stock. Will ship when available”.

Hopefully we’ll see another price drop soon!

  1. What? You mean two companies in the telecommunications business got together to gouge customers? No, I can’t accept that!

    TELUS has the worst prices for phones among all BIG BULLIES

  3. What is the surprise. Telus just told Best Buy they could undermine their business. This is called free market and competition. This is how the telco market is in Canada.

  5. It’s like $90 off at the Telus Team Webstore, if anyone wants this phone just find a Telus employee (friend) and ask them for access (it’s a friends and family site).
