The Motorola Milestone, aka DROID has been a tightly guarded secret in Canada. With knowledge that the Milestone will indeed be making an appearance on the TELUS network, all of my contacts within the company have been tight-lipped at best… and I have to give them all credit for being consistent on the topic.

Motorola Confirms Phone “with Google” in the Works
Motorola has really dove into Android head-first over the last couple of months, complete with their own customized user interface, widgets, and web service, but they have yet to make a handset “with Google”.

Official: BlackBerry Tour 9650 Coming Soon
BlackBerry’s official Facebook page had accidentally let slip that the Tour 9650 would be coming soon (and promptly pulled the message).

Bell to Launch ‘Self Serve’ App for Select Devices
This is kind of interesting. I love it when carriers offer additional services to customers, especially when it comes to account management. Not only is it good for the customer, but the provider saves money in the long run too… Let the customer do all the work at his or her own convenience, and everyone…
Android Nomenclature 101: Goodbye Flan, Hello Froyo!
Looks like the next big iteration of Android will not be known as ‘Flan‘, as many expected. According to Erick Tseng, the Senior Product Manager for Android, the next version of Android will be named ‘Froyo’. I can already hear some saying, ‘but I thought Android 2.1 was named Flan, what gives?’. Technically, that’s not…
