Motorola Milestone Ready to take on the Google Nexus One Phone?

The Motorola Milestone is the European name for the Motorola Droid which was first

released in the US last year, this new Android Motorola phone has been released as a SIM Free handset with no network ties or extra ongoing line rental charges. This initial release or the Motorola Milestone means that consumers do not have to sign up to a lengthy contract deal and be tied to one network provider, instead they can use their existing SIM card whether that be currently on a contract or the pay as you go scheme. The user simply inserts their SIM card into the Motorola Milestone handset which will transfer all 'saved to SIM' contact names and numbers as well as the current mobile number and provider. The SIM Free Motorola Milestone is unlocked to all network operators so any existing and 'live' SIM card will work. The Milestone is the second Motorola phone to feature the Android operating system, this time however it is the newer Android 2.0 version which provides a fast user experience with 3 homescreens to place quick launch Apps. The Android Market continues to swell with new applications and although nowhere near the 150,000 claimed by the Apple store the Motorola Milestone is privvy to some 20,000 which seems to have expanded faster over the last month with the figure being closer to 15,000 in December. The biggest Android competitor to the Milestone is Google's new Nexus One phone, this new device device runs the slightly newer Android 2.0.1 OS although recent news stated that the Motorola Milestone will also be able to benefit with a planned upgrade very soon. The biggest advantage over the Nexus One provided by the Milestone has to be its slide out Qwerty keyboard, this makes texting, emailing, profile updating and general text input a far faster affair with all of the characters and numbers a button push away. Both phones feature a 5.0 mega pixel camera with autofocus but the newer Nexus One does pack a larger processor of 1GHz over the Motorola's 550MHz which is on a par (if not a little faster) with the Apple iPhone 3Gs. The Milestone can boast to be the slimmest Android device to feature a full slide out Qwerty keyboard, another benefit is the inclusion of the multi-direction D-Pad on the keyboard, this acts as a cursor would on a home computer or laptop and makes selecting and navigating fast and precise. Although the Motorola Milestone has been initially released as a SIM free and unlocked mobile phone there are plans to launch the handset on the Orange network over the coming days, it is widely expected that other network launches will follow quickly with the next possibly being T-Mobile. Alternative Android handsets that have recently been released include the Samsung Galaxy Spica, Acer Liquid and forthcoming Sony Ericsson X10 and Motorola BACKFLIP.
