Motorola Milestone Release Date & Price UK
We have just received word of an unofficial release date for the Motorola Milestone AKA Motorola Droid as a SIM free phone in the UK, this is the most advanced handset from the manufacturer to date and incorporates the latest Android 2.0 OS.
Although not officially confirmed by Motorola the release date we have for the Milestone is December 7th, not that far away and considering it is already available in Germany is not that inconceivable either. The initial SIM Free price of the Motorola Milestone is being touted by one UK retailer as £439.99, this is obviously subject to change and will be substantially discounted with a network subsidy once released on contract deals.
UPDATE:
08/01/10 – Motorola Milestone RELEASED

The Milestone features an incredible 3.7 inch capacitive touchscreen display with a slide out QWERTY keyboard. The Moto Milestone also includes a 5.0 Megapixel camera with support for video capture, HSDPA and Wi-Fi, GPS and a memory card slot.

Awesome images here. I have tried and tested both phones, although not side by side. My immediate response was ‘Is Motorola and Google afraid of a lawsuit from Apple in terms of Multi touch’? I’d love that feature on this phone.
I love the functionaility of the Milestone though, and the screen is utterly gorgeous. One other thing that I liked was the ‘lip’ at the bottom of the Milestone which I found not an intrusion, more a welcome step to stabability when sliding out that generously sized QWERTY keypad.
I think Android will dominate the smart phone market in 2010 – with the HTC Bravo ‘Google Phone’ coming out with its 1GHz Snapdragon CPU.
Thank you for the images
