Expansys in the UK are now selling the Motorola MILESTONE (aka, DROID in the US). According to SlashGear, eXpansys currently have an exclusive agreement in place that gives them full rights to selling the phone. You can choose to have the phone unlocked where it will set you back £449.99, or chose to buy a subsidized model which will lower the price, but lock you in to a contract for a certain amount of time.
If you sign up for an 18 month contract on the T-Mobile network the cost per month is £35 which allows you to get the phone for £49.99 which isn’t a bad price for what you get.
The phone it’s self runs the Android 2.0 operating system that comes with Google Maps Navigation, although for legal reasons the navigation features are unavailable outside of the US. The phone has a 3.7 inch capacitive touchscreen that can display a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels.
The MILESTONE also has a slideout QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and autofocus. For storage you get an 8GB memory card in the box. For connectivity the phone has wireless as well as Bluetooth.
An impressive phone and well worth looking in to should you want an Android based smartphone. Via: SlashGear
