At least that’s what it will be once it gets released in Europe this December starting with Italy and Germany.  The O2 German site has it priced at a SIM-free €481 but rumour has it that it will be closer to €400-€450 once released.   The sales kit is expected to come with an 8GB microSD card, 16GB in the US.

Droid – Milestone Differences

While sharing the same hardware and design, there are some differences between the US Droid and the European Milestone versions.  The former gets the latest Google Maps and has its multitouch feature on its capacitive touchscreen turned off while the latter has the Motorola MOTONAV GPS application that does the same spoken turn-by-turn GPS guidance and sports a multitouch capacitive touchscreen similar to what the iPhone 3Gs has.

In fact, were it not for the difference in form factor, the Motorola Milestone/Droid is the closest if not the best rival the iPhone could have had. The new Android 2.0 seems to even up the functionality score with what the iPhone can do.  While it’s heftier due to the real glass on the display and an all-metal body at 165g over the iPhone’s 139g, size-wise, they’re quite similar when the Milestone’s QWERTY slider is closed.

Great Value High end Features.

Its feature set can easily dislodge many flagship smartphones in the market.  It sports a massive 3.7” wide-VGA capacitive touchscreen with multitouch (for Europe) and a brilliant display that puts to shame the AMOLED display on the Samsung i8910 HD.

You can pretty much do on its screen what you can do on the iPhone: double tap to zoom in or out as well as pin or squeeze your fingers to zoom Web pages, photos and maps and spread out to zoom out.  There’s no other mobile phone other than the iPhone that can do that at this time.

Another outstanding feature comes from its imaging function.  It has a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with dual LED flash that also supports wide-VGA recording at 24 fps frame rates. The new Android OS now has flash support where before, mobile phones running Android didn’t have any flash on their cameras.

And of course, it’s a quad band GSM and twin band UMTS phone with HSPA data connectivity for a no-wait surfing and downloading on the net.  WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR are there for wireless data connectivity. Its CPU is the ARM Cortex A8 clocked at 550 MHz and is touted to be as powerful as the one used by the iPhone 3Gs.

Battery life is 6.5 hours talk time and 14 days standby time from its 1400 mAh lithium-ion battery – typical of most other flagship handsets.  There’s the usual coteries of hardware features you can expect from a top act smartphone – 3.5mm headphone jack, microUSB support, microSD slot for up to 32GB, stereo Fm radio with RDS, GPS, accelerometers and capable multimedia players.

High Marks All Around

At its price point, nothing comes close to the Milestone.  In terms of value for the money, no flagship mobile phones can hold a candle to it.  Motorola may have indeed created a defining milestone in its phone-making history with this.  At the very least, it has redefined what a high value high performing flagship smartphone is.  It comes right in time to update the Christmas shopping list.  And there’s no Nokia or HTC on it, just a Motorola Milestone.

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.

You are finally able to zip through the web at 3G speeds and even use Flash 10.  This is a breakthrough for mobile phones, as many of them have never supported flash in the past.  Just being able to watch flash video such as Youtube has only been possible on the iPhone, and a select few phones until this phone has been released.  You can also navigate around the 400,000 pixel screen using double tap, zoom and pinch techniques that many Android phones have been unable to use for years.  Thanks to the Milestone including Android 2.0 straight out of the box you are now able to use multi-touch, one of the most requested features for the Android OS update!

Using Google on your Milestone is easy as pie!  You no longer have to go to Google, you can simply search and get the results that you want right from your phone.  Who would waste valuable time by bringing along a separate digital camera on your vacation, right?  Now that you have a 5.0 mega pixel digital camera included with your phone, there is no reason for you to bring the extra digital camera along. It simply would take up more space and lessen the amount of fun that you are having with your new phone.

The Android Marketplace is the clearinghouse for thousands of different apps.  Whether you want something to relax with or need an application that can help you keep track of stocks on the go, the Android Marketplace has it for you.  Also, the development of applications is quite easy and getting your applications into the marketplace takes next to no time at all!
