Manitobans, you may recall my post a few days back about the Motorola Milestone coming soon to MTS. As expected, the Milestone HAS arrived, and you can pick it up right now at any MTS Connect location.
I’ve had a Milestone in my arsenal for some time now, and while I hardly ever use it, if you’re big on the Android experience, it’s worth a look. The full slide-out QWERTY and directional pad to leave a bit to be desired, but the touchscreen display and 5 megapixel camera make up for some of these shortcomings. Of course, this is all personal opinion, it’s always best to take a ride to your local carrier to try one out for yourself.
Key specs on the MTS Motorola Milestone include:
- Android 2.1 Eclair
- 550 MHz Cortex A8 processor
- 3.7″ display
- Full slide-out QWERTY keyboard (or virtual touch keyboard)
- 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and auto-focus
- WiFi
- Bluetooth 2.1
- 3.5mm headset jack
- speakerphone
- 8GB memory card included, expandable to 32GB via microSD
Pricing hits us at a somewhat predictable price-point for the 3-year contract. You’re looking at $179.99 on the 3-year, $279.99 for a 2-year and $504.99 on a 1-year contract (odd price?).
For more information, head over to MTS.
