MTS announced that they’ll be releasing the Android 2.1 Motorola Milestone A854 earlier today. No date was given or even price points. But sometimes you just have to ask. That’s what one of our tipster Darryl did. The upcoming price points for the Milestone is as follows: 3-year contract is a whopping $179.99; 2-year is $279.99 and the 1-year is $504.99. Still no word on when this will be officially released… but now that the pricing is revealed you can decide if this is something you want.
(Thanks Darryl!)
Wow, awesome, sign up for a 3 year deal and you only pay $180 for a phone that’s basically obsolete. The fact our carriers can get away with crap like this would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad. At least MTS has an “unlimited”* data package.
(*Small print: the following are considered by MTS to be outside of an ordinary range of use thereby consuming excessive network capacity: Use for multi-media streaming, voice over Internet protocol or any other application including LBS (location based services) that uses excessive network capacity) MTS may immediately suspend, restrict, alter or terminate all or part of any service provided to a customer or take other necessary protective measures, if it determines that a customer is contravening this policy, as determined by MTS)
TL;DR: It’s unlimited internet unless you use it for streaming multimedia, VOIP, or anything that actually uses data. Oh, sorry, “excessive” data, as determined by MTS.

This is an excellent example of the purest form of bend the customer over. Its 2010 yet I feel like I’m in the wireless 90′s.

We don’t have as much competition on Canada and the competition is based on Proviences and not vs all of Canada. USA totally has better rates and better infrastructure to have proper competition.

***not speaking on behalf of the company******
it looks like this question was asked at the edge of the phones first year with MTS, its unfortunate that the agent didn’t mention that.
The same phone is now being offered for less,
just over $100 less than when this was posted,
right before Christmas.
