Update: The screenshot is of Best Buy’s inventory system, not Telus’. Sorry about that!

An anonymous tipster has sent us this screenshot showing the HTC Desire is now showing up in the Telus Best Buy inventory system. The price hasn’t been set yet (thus showing up as $999). There’s also been no official announcement of a release date, but it should be later this month or August.

For those of you that don’t know, the HTC Desire is very similar to the Google Nexus One, except it has an optical trackpad instead of the trackball and SenseUI. Other than that, the specs are nearly identical.

Thanks to Kelly @ BGR for pointing this out. MobileSyrup.com has found what appears to be the pricing for the HTC Desire embedded in the source code on the Telus HTC Desire page. This is by no means official, but it sounds pretty accurate. The pricing shows 1-Year term: $499.95; 2-year term $399.95 and the 3-year term: $299.95.

Back in January, we reported on a rumor that At&t was getting the Milestone (GSM version of the Droid). It appears this version of the Milestone is headed for Telus. While Telus hasn’t officially announced a release date for the Milestone, Best Buy Canada has put up a Pre-Order page that gives us a February 18th date. At&t users could be happy to hear this as well, since Telus supports the At&t 3G bands of 850/1900MHz. Of course you’ll have to pay full price for it and unlock it, but given how popular the Droid has been on Verizon, it may be worth it if you want to experience full 3G with Android on At&t and don’t want to wait for the Motorola Backflip or one of the 5 Android devices At&t promised is coming in the first half of 2010..
