Motorola slept too long and now, they are awake with an attitude and something new for us geeks and non-geeks. Presenting, the Motorola Milestone (GSM), Motorola’s latest Android phone.
Motorola Milestone is the GSM version of Motorola Droid, a CDMA device offered by Verizon. The latter was launched in America on October 17 and the former was then eventually introduced in Britain on December 10. Milestone is noted for its features and top-notch design. It boasts an Android OS, 5 megapixel camera and a full qwerty keyboard. One of the notable differences of Milestone and Droid is that the former has multi-touch. Built to bring down the Iphone, Motorola Milestone is packed with more features the Iphone doesn’t have. When its TV ad was launched in the States, it listed several things which Iphone doesn’t have and ended it with “Droid Does”. The video below says it all.

Motorola recently launched this phone in Hong Kong last December 12, being the first country to have Milestone at their shopping disposal. (Lucky Chinese!) In the Philippines, according to a Motorola representive I emailed, he said, “..presently, there is no information available about the exact release date of this handset in the Philippines.” I then realized that Milestone’s release in the Philippines is imminent. People from Motorola Philippines just do not know the exact date. Get ready Philippines!
