eXpansys Exclusivity on the Milestone Finally Ends
The same problem that plagues the Google phone Nexus One is the very same reason why not many people in the UK have been able to try out the new Motorola Milestone.
Now, here’s an Android phone that many of us thought we would never get to use. After all, when the Motorola DROID was first announced, the sentence ended with “Verizon exclusive” –not only was the device limited to a US region, it was even locked to a carrier. Motorola quickly broke the good news by announcing that the device would be renamed and launched in the UK as the Motorola Milestone.
Sadly, when the Milestone did arrive, internet retailer eXpansys was first on the scene to claim exclusive dibs on the Android smart phone. Since December, the Milestone was not available through any other means aside from ordering online.
Now, Carphone Warehouse is first to bring us the good news that the Milestone exclusivity is not just over, they are also offering the device on their store shelves for everyone to get. They are also offering T-mobile contracts for the smart phone at their stores.
For those wondering about what makes the Milestone such a great device; this Motorola masterpiece is a mid-range spec device that runs the new Android 2.0 Éclair operating system. The large capacitive touch screen is complemented by a slide out QWERTY keyboard –the first Android device to have a physical keyboard.
It’s a great combination that has gotten everyone eager to try out the DROID when it was first leaked. When the Milestone was brought over to the UK, Motorola added multi touch function on the device –a feature missing in the original US release of the Android smart phone.
