Motorola Milestone to have limited Android Marketplace access?
Those early adopters of the new Motorola Milestone Android smartphone may find their access to the Android Marketplace limited, with most paid-for content unavailable. As a potential early-adopter myself, I did some digging into these claims to see if I could shed some light on the truth behind it, and to what extent it would affect customers of Motorola's latest flagship device.
Motorola Milestone set for December 7th UK Release
For those Android fans out there, the Motorola Droid, dubbed the Motorola Milestone in Europe, is arriving on our shores on December 7th, almost one month to the day that the device released in the US. Exclusive to Expansys UK until the end of the year, the phone is available SIM Free for £449.99, or for £49.99 on an 18-month T-Mobile Combi 30 + Web N Walk tariff for £35 per month.
The Motorola Milestone / Droid is the product of a direct collaboration between Google and Motorola. Both companies have clearly taken a lot of product feedback from the previous HTC Devices, and come up with a device that will meet almost everyones needs. This is one of two devices that Motorola are releasing with a hardware keyboard, a feature not seen on an Android device since the HTC T-Mobile G1. Motorola have improved on this design no end, but created something that is both beautiful, and remarkably practical and robust.
