    This $199.99 for the Milestone on a 3 year contract – on the Telus website it seems to suggest that after March 1, the price will go up to $399.99. Any way to confirm if this is true?

    If so, I'm not going to wait a month to pick it up.

    …Unless you're in Manitoba or Saskatchewan. Like me. I've been waiting forever and now I get stiffed. Rogers, here I come! You'd better have the Nexus One by the time I get there!

    I am the owner of this new phone thanks to my wife for birthday today. Unfortunately I am with Rogers for 3 years. One guy is going to try to unlock this device for $30 here in Ottawa.Will let you know how it worked…

    So, as of tonight my Milestone is working on Rogers network. Only one thing is, it doesn't have 7 homepages as Magic. And Magic has Android 1.5 vs. Milestone's 2.01. Strange.
