The Motorola Milestone (aka Droid) has been in American hands since early winter of last year, but Canadians have been left out in the cold as usual. Although no official date has been set yet, Telus is preparing the Milestone’s launch in Canada, possibly by the Olympics.


According to MobileSyrup, the tentative Telus price is “$199 on a 3 year contract and $549 outright.” Previously, Canadians had to spend upwards of a $1000 to buy an unlocked GSM version of the flagship phone if they wanted to use it with a GSM carrier.

UPDATE: (February 1st) Telus has the Milestone on its website now. Potential buyers can choose to be notified of its release, which is expected to be around the middle of this month, just in time for the Olympics.
