Android in Canada Blog - Uniting Canadian Android Users!: Telus to Launch Motorola Droid in Canada?

    I went to a Telus store today to play with the Hero and it looks great... but I have to admit, the Droid mania has gotten to me. I think I will have to wait and have both in my hands before I can make a decision.

    Droid is that much better than Dream or Magic?
  • Gary · 1 month ago
    Yes. Big time.

    If you believe the hype on the blogosphere - yes, it's better. Only handset ever mentioned in the same breathe as iphone.

    That stinks if true. Why all of a sudden is Rogers the service not getting all the good google phones? They started the thing off in Canada for the longest time. Now the best phones (Hero / Droid) for Android would all be coming to Telus? I certainly hope not. : / I wouldn't mind as much if Telus didn't stink in Manitoba where I live, but it's a black hole here outside of Winnipeg. Guess I might jsut have to get the LG Eve with Rogers then. : /

    Spriggers, as far as 3G service goes, Telus and Rogers are sharing the network, so the service will be identical.

    Oh, and I've already put off my new Smartphone just on the rumor that they might be getting the Droid (aka motorola Milestone)

    The problem is with HSPA outside of Winnipeg. It's non existent:

    Telus has a huge black hole in the center of Canada when it comes to this... : /

    Yes please!

    Just played with an HTC Hero at a Telus store yesterday. It was pretty slick, but unfortunately, they didn't have it on the network (can you believe that?), so I couldn't try half the features.

    Definitely will hold out for more options!

    i would want a Droid for sure, but currently I have a HTC Magic and the Droid would just be a small upgrade..
    I think my next Android phone would need to have the Snapdragon processor (maybe SE Xperia or the HTC Dragon)

    But that Droid looks awesome.. i want to try it.

    I would even consider getting a contract for a Droid, and I hate mobile phone contracts.
