Now only if they gave us a option to have moto blur UI. (I know its not as nice as sense but its still something!)]]>Apr 22nd 2010 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/
Doesn't Android have homescreen widgets that are similar to what motoblur do? Could have sworn they got something similar. Those things are really useful.]]>Apr 22nd 2010 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/Similar but not as clean. ]]>Apr 22nd 2010 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/Apr 22nd 2010 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/

Hope you Americans realize how lucky you are.
2 year contract... Unlimited data.. We don't even have unlimited broadband on our internet for crying out loud.

Here what the CRTC says on their website:

"The CRTC does not regulate the rates, quality of service or business practices of wireless service providers because the market for wireless services is sufficiently competitive."

LOL]]>Apr 22nd 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/
The CRTC is a joke and run by clowns.]]>Apr 22nd 2010 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/But Canadian cell phone providers are pushovers! I phone up Telus every 6 months or so and ask if there is anything free they can put on my account. So far I pay 60 bucks a month - Unlimited local calling, my FAVS 8 long distance, 1 gb data, unlimited txt, and 450 anytime minutes!]]>Apr 22nd 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/That'll be within my budget range, but far from the website's advertised plans. You must be a long-time customer. :]]]>Apr 22nd 2010 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/Well a policy with telus is that they will never downgrade your plan. And they commonly have new plans that come up with different 'free' features. So they will transfer you to that new plan and keep the 'free' features you had on your old plan.

Or you can just tell them that your leaving for wind mobile and they will do anything to keep you lol]]>Apr 22nd 2010 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/Apr 22nd 2010 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/
That is not really that great. I am with telus and pay the same as you but have: 450 daytime, unlimited incoming, 300 long distance, unlimited text, unlimited data and web, unlimited calling from 6pm, caller id/vm/foward. ]]>Apr 22nd 2010 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/Well what about Wind?

And Almost everyone in Calgary (where i live) has a telus home line. So the minutes are go towards bell, rogers, and shaw home phones.

PS for anyone who would like to know my brother works for Shaw as a telecommunication project manager and he told me that shaw is going to be getting into the cell phone game soon!]]>Apr 22nd 2010 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/Apr 22nd 2010 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/Apr 22nd 2010 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/Apr 22nd 2010 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/
I think I'm going to sell the phone, media dock, car dock and case and buy a N1. Motorola actually broke the phone more and with a locked bootloader, there's no way fix it ourselves.]]>Apr 22nd 2010 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/Apr 22nd 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/
Enable bluetooth multi function to facilitate voice dialing.

That right there makes the update worth its' weight in GOLD.]]>Apr 22nd 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/
Except that probably shouldn't have been overlooked in the first place. My shitty flip phone did bluetooth voice dialing. I had assumed my $600 smartphone without limits would too.

By the way, does anyone else's voice dial takes 15 to 20 seconds to start-up? Or is that just me.]]>Apr 22nd 2010 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/Apr 22nd 2010 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/telus-milestone-users-finally-get-a-taste-of-android-2-1s-custa/

I know, it's the one thing that I really wanted from the 2.1 update. I would rather have waited a bit longer for the update. Now there's no telling when/if we'll ever get more home screens. Only 3 is bullshit.
