Vancouver-based cell phone operator, Telus Mobility, is aggressively marketing the new Motorola Milestone device with a $50 price cut after just one month of availability.

Telus launched the long-awaited Android-based smartphone last month at a price of $199.99 on a three-year voice and data contract. It is now offering the phone for just $149.99, with the added benefit of a free car mount for customers that buy a Milestone by March 31. The car mount sticks onto a windshield and allows for quick access to the Milestone’s GPS navigation features.

The cost of a Milestone without a contract remains unchanged at $599.99.
