WIND has been rumoured to be bringing on the Android-powered Motorola Milestone XT720. We first saw this in an internal screenshot a few weeks ago… We’re not to sure the authenticity of this image but everything looks to be correct and seems that training has started.
Still no word on price points or when this will be released, early rumours have it launching during the week of September 23rd. Specs have this running OS 2.1, 3.7 inch display with a resolution of 480×854, WiFi, 8MP camera, auto-focus, flash and records HD 720p videos and can hold up to 32GB with a microSD card.
Nice to see Wind expanding their lineup and bringing on more powerful Android devices.

About time. Wind needs a high-end Smart Phone to stop the stigma of Wind just being another low-budget phone company that only sells budget phones.
Plus, they finally have a phone that they can actually promote in advertisements like Telus does with the HTC Desire and the Big 3 promote the iPhone 4.

Actually, to tell you the truth…when this phone releases on Wind, the HTC Desire and even the Samsung Galaxy S would still be better Abdroids then this.
I just read the review of it on gsmarena.com, and it’s not as good as motorola make it out to be:
1. 720p recording at 24fps, and its over saturation and high contrast, loses resoltuion, so its like a below-par 720p (Although takjing 8MP pictures is good, they even say it over-processes the image and the Xenon flash is a waste)
2. Only has a cortex A8 720MHz CPU with only 256MB of RAM. (Both the Desire and Galaxy S have 1GHz CPUs and at least 512MB of RAM. Although the XT720 has a dedicated PowerVR SGX accelerator, it will still run and perform sluggish, even while gaming)
3. No voice dialing or smart dialing (Even my HTC Hero has this)
4. All of its media players (music and video players) are outdated and are the same on the original MILESTONE.
5. Web browser with no flash support (until Froyo is updated on it)
So, I would still think the Desire would still be a better option by the time this comes out on WIND. But, WIND really needs a top-of-the-line smartphone thats not a BlackBerry Bold 9700…and this fills that void. Good goin WIND!

It has a keyboard though, which is a big selling point for many. Coming from a blackberry bold, I’m not exactly thrilled with the high end android options available at the moment.

It’s a decent phone. The processor is not the fastest, but it’s not the slowest either. It’s not quite clear how much RAM it has – different numbers are quoted on different sites. However, it has REAL Xenon flash (not the LED toy flash that’s on most phones) and it has HDMI output. The biggest question is how much Wind will charge for it. Anyone has a tip?

I have yet to read JAWG saying because the guy is from Egypt he is a crook.. he has said that swarie deals with dictators, corrupt governments, back room deals and lies cheats and steals.. but no mention of him being a crook because he is from Egypt.. Others have made racial comments he has refrained.. his posts with links are ignored.. are you all really that afraid that perhaps in your desires to have cheap cell rates you have opened up the doors for fox to be in the chicken coop?
Look at the mans track record.. he rode the wave that his father started not him.. look at his subs.. add them all up money wise and see why he likes to choose subs over actual revenue numbers from his wireless. Greece gone, Italy gone.. all business in Algeria gone.. India’s airtel poised to take back Pakistan and India.. these people are his prize jewels. To give you all an Idea about his morals.. In Algeria the people there were governed over by the French.. it was a bloody reign, so the people there took it personal when swarie sold off his Algerian company to the French quietly and under the table without allowing Algeria to bid this was a smack in the face. Some say its business others say its competition.. the trust is its just a way to make money.. and I do not mind pointing out.. yet another 100+ million loss last month.. Bring the new phones.. get the iphone.. the die is cast.. sorry

Over and over again Rocco,tbr,jarr,Luke,myself and many others have clearly shown the corruption behind Orascom that is on record through their own criminal behavior and undisputed,to compare them to all our 3 Big Three is ridiculous based simply on the fact that “SOME” individuals hate Rogers/Bell/Telus based on higher rates or the fact that they have contracts…plus I NEVER made any racist comments against Egyptians or any race.Furthermore,Rogers/Bell/Telus are not the same as Orascom,Swasiman is in a league all by himself where his whole corporation is based on deceit and for us pointing this out since it is the truth does not make us bigots/trolls while all Fanboys do is unfairly praise Wind with lies.Bottom line Orascom is absolute garbage and people should have the right to hear both sides if there really is Freedom of Speech.
What I find interesting is that the fake JAWG is a true racist/bigot using the “N” word with no real opinions where he gets thumbs up and I never hear the Windies complain…so what does that make them.
Listen to what Rocco just stated above…couldn’t be easier to understand!!!

lol, so much attention. It makes me feel bad to participate. Oh well, Jawg, you should just change your name to “Hidden due to low comment rating.” I doubt I am the first to suggest that though…
About the phone: It is good that WIND is providing more options for customers. People who want to be bleeding-edge will complain about the specs, but if the price is good considering the hardware it does have, then it is a “winner in my books”. Lol, what a corny saying. Anyway, if well cheaper than the other’s flagship Androids, it will be a nice device to slot in above the U8100.

Who is this JAWG anyways and why does he feel that he has the only right perspective. He reminds me of those crooked CNN hosts that try to cut off anyone that speaks against whatever propaganda they are supporting at the time.
Seriously I sat back and watched this moron comment on nearly every article posted about wind with his stupid remarks, its just sad that this is supposed to be a forum for Canadians interested in mobile phone news and we got a shill on here doing this. On top of that it looks as though he is a racist against Egyptians and black people.

It’s certainly not a bad device from what I’ve heard, but not the top of the line from Moto, and there is no hardware keyboard, which is too bad since there’s a real lack of decent Android devices with hardware qwerty here. I’d still choose the Desire or Vibrant over this personally, but it sounds like a pretty solid device.

@Georgie:
Get your facts straight Jungle Boy,I never said I was right and the information that has been added by our side is not a false perspective…however all the information against Orascom that we included is accurate and it comes from reputable News Agencies that actually have reputations unlike you claim from ALL over the world (plus Arabic sources)/investigations from various Police Agencies /different Governments.Please don’t even try to suggest that all that data is corrupt and Orascom is pure.In short,I`d rather support our Canadian Providers that have shown decency than the garbage that has been let into the country and any drivel you add will not change who Orascom really is…so get a life.
I just sat back to read your post and yet again can`t believe that not even one of you Windy i****s have contributed anything useful so far,what is sad is that there are pathetic Canadians like yourself out there who want to hide the truth so uninformed individuals will support your deluded interests whether it has to do with the mobile industry or anything else and that on top of that you call me a racist without going after the real bigots on this site who use the `N`word to try and silence people.
I have nothing against Egyptians or any race as I sated many times,I never made any racial slurs against anyone or a group of people and nothing points to me being a bigot…plus although they are not the greatest companies after trying one I have no real beefs against Mobilicity/PM either or problems with them so far to exist.Still,Orascom is totally different and I’m talking about “ONE” specific corporation that happens to be Egyptian and “ONE” specific owner that just happens to be Egyptian also and they are both 100% CORRUPT through their own actions…so don’t try to put words in my mouth or insinuate things without any substance.
The bottom line is you’re an A-Hole and you should spend more time in educating the Fanboys how not to lie and give more accurate accounts of their network…and finally not make accusations against the Big Three simply out of sheer HATE after they built the infrastructure here in Canada and did it before most of you meatheads were even born considering the size of our land mass,
Some of you are truly pathetic!!!

Rocco, that link does not surprise me. I wonder why the people are so upset as to take it out on the staff. It is not the staffs fault that they have no information. It seams that most of the time they are kept in the dark.
Well, except for 5 finger G’s, I’m sure his phone is perfect. I wonder what name he is using today, maybe Ailean has come up with some creative names.
Maybe I should start a security company and hire myself out to windy. I will make a fortune.

Motorola sucks a*s. After first announcing they would release the Froyo update for the Milestone XT720 they have now decided NOT to release this important upgrade. If you own an XT720 call Motorola Customer Support at 800-734-5870 or their corporate office at 847-576-5000 and tell them what you think about their bad company decisions.
