Word of Wind Mobile picking up the Motorola Milestone XT720 has been blowing in the, er, wind for some time now, but a recent shot of an internal training screen reveals that the handset launch should be right around the corner. This will mark a significant upgrade from the carrier’s first Android handset the low-end Huawei U8100. This will also give Wind a fairly nice excluive for Canadian Android lovers to consider — the phone has a pretty low presence in North America in general.
The source of the news has the XT720 pegged for a release towards the end of the month, but no word on what the pricing will be like. Wind is a pay-as-you-go carrier, so don’t expect any subsidies to drop the price of this handset too low. It has been selling for over $500 unlocked, so it will be interesting to see where Wind prices it.

DAMMIT!!!! I just signed a freaking contract with Telus a few months ago, and I got the Milestone. WHY DID I SIGN? A moment of weakness I suppose, I immediately regretted it as soon as I got my first bill (which I had to call in about about 4 times since because as usual, they always overcharge or screw something up).
As soon as it is feasible I’m switching.
milestone is better than xt720
xt720 is the milstone. I honestly think that the milestone is a really awesome phone and it is rolling on 2.1 in most of N. America and it’s a really good phone. I would have went with Desire if I was going with Telus.
I have the Milestone XT720 from Cincy Bell… it has a better processor & camera than the original Droid/Milestone + more RAM. Kinda a tweener between the original droid/milestone & the Droid X. It is a capable performer…. I freakin love it, like no man should love a phone!
