The Motorola QUENCH has not yet come to North America, but it will be available soon.

Specifically in Canada, where Rogers will be the carrier of this particular phone. In the United States, it will be the Motorola CLIQ XT to be released on T-Mobile. If you want it in Europe, you can get it under the QUENCH name.

It’s been a long time coming, AT&T. You’ve been shying away from the Android aircraft carrier like it was the plague, but you’ve changed your ways. And in doing so, you’ve also managed to accept one of the strangest devices to hit the market in recent memory. So, you made a splash with your first Android device. Congratulations. Sure, you made some changes, but change doesn’t have to be bad. Or does it? Either way, the Backflip is now on sale at AT&T stores, as well as their digital storefront. No running!

Back in January, when Motorola officially announced the Android-powered BackFlip, it said that the smartphone would be introduced not only in North America (via AT&T), but also in Asia, Latin America and Europe.

The BackFlip is already on sale in China, and now it’s been announced in Italy – probably the first European country to get it.

As you may already know, the Motorola BackFlip features a 3.1 inch HVGA touchscreen display, Android 1.5 with MotoBlur, full QWERTY keyboard, HSDPA, GPS, Wi-Fi, full HTML browser, 3.5mm headset jack, social networking integration (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter), and a 5MP autofocus camera with flash.

Motorola didn’t say when exactly the BackFlip will be available in Italy, but this should happen before the end of March. Pricing details were not announced.

Last week we posted that the rumoured launch of the TELUS Motorola Milestone will be Thursday, February 18th and thanks to Best Buy we have a bit more confirmation today!

Our tipster informed us that the “Milestone will be launching February 18th” and that Best Buy will start taking deposits for the phone on February 5th.” Looking at best Buy today we see that they are taking pre-orders! You can take a peek at the screenshot
as it confirms “Pre-order the Motorola Milestone in-store today. Simply put a $50 deposit down in-store and on February 18th you will be the first to own the Smartphone without limits.”

Still no confirmed pricing, but the rumoured price that we’ve been informed is $199 on a 3-year contract and $549 outright.

Nice! Who’s excited for this beast of a device?
