The Motorola Milestone is one of the world's best smart phones. Not only does it have amazing technical specs, but it runs on the Android software that is produced by Google. This means that the phone is completely open to new applications as well as changes in the software. This allows people to change whatever they want about the phone, other than some basic shell functionality.
One of the best features of the Motorola Milestone is that you can use it at any 802.11 b/g connection. Without this feature, you would have to use the slower cellular network all of the time. While the cellular networks of the United Kingdom hold up most of the time, they can be somewhat slow especially in populated urban centers like London. Now, all you have to do is connect to the wireless connection and be able to handle all of your data seamlessly.
The Motorola Milestone is not going to be available through any carrier in the United Kingdom before the end of the year. This is most likely due to the fact that all of the carriers have already chosen the phones that they are going to push for the holiday season. However, you can still purchase the phone and use it within the United Kingdom. It is currently being sold by Expansys, an online company which is offering a version of the phone for 450 pounds, plus taxes. This is quite high for a mobile phone, but well deserved for a phone of the magnitude of the Milestone.
In addition to all of the other wonderful features, Motorola wants you to pay for its MOTONAV service. This is a service that will help motorists find their way from point A to point B. It has turn by turn directions as well as several other trials. A trial is included with each and every Milestone so that the individual user can choose whether or not to continue subscribing.
After you have taken care of the navigation package, you might want to look further under the hood. The phone itself is quite similar to its sister, the Verizon Wireless Droid back in the United States. There are very few changes between the few phones, except for one major hardware and several software changes. First off, you have the Quad Band GSM radio inside the Milestone while the Droid supports a CDMA radio chip. Also, the Milestone is currently sporting Android 2.0. This allows users to use multi-touch, something that the Droid has not yet had enabled. The multi-tocuh feature has been on the wish list of many users for years and years. Thankfully, it is now open on this phone and will be included on all phones with Android 2.0 or above.
