While the Motorola DROID and the Apple iPhone celebrated larger first month numbers (525,000 and 600,000, respectively), the announcement of 80,000 Nexus One devices (which translates into a steady 20,000 per week) is still a relatively strong number for Google.  I'm sure Google would have liked to have broken the 100,000 mark, but the fact that they're going strong four weeks later (and their weekly totals haven't dropped) is a positive sign.

Keep in mind that the Nexus One is sold exclusively through Google and is only compatible (when it comes to 3G) with T-Mobile, so given those two things, the numbers are respectable.  When the device lands on Verizon Wireless and Vodafone later in the year, I can see those numbers growing even more.  The question remains - given that it's public knowledge about the Nexus One coming to Verizon, are people holding off for Big Red's launch?

According to Best Buy Canada, Telus (or at least Best Buy, on behalf of Telus) will be getting the Motorola Milestone.  If you're in the United States, you're probably thinking "great, Aaron, why do I care?"  Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for Telus customers, but the real win for us in the States lies in the fact that they utilize the 850/1900 MHz bands for 3G.  In other words, their version of the Milestone will work on AT&T - 3G and all. 

Granted, you'll need to unlock the device, and it doesn't have the name that's goes hand-in-hand with scaring small children and destroying your farm (insert creepy "DROID" noise here), but it beats an EDGE-only Nexus One or European Milestone.  And sure, the Backflip is coming (along with a few more Android devices this year), but why wait when you can get your hands on an Android device in a few days?  Yep, that's what I said.  Anyone planning a trip up North yet?
