Motorola Milestone

Earlier in the week we saw the first batch of Motorola Milestones begin to receive Android 2.2 Froyo when the update went live in Europe. We also learned Canadian carrier TELUS would be bringing the same OS upgrade to their Milestone in the near future. We now have a more specific time frame in which [...]

The folks at MobileSyrup have pinged Telus and asked them what’s up with updates for various Android handsets. Of note were the HTC Desire and Desire HD: both are said to be getting Gingerbread sometime this Spring. (It wasn’t said if this would include the latest version of HTC Sense or not.) Other phones include [...]

Attention all Motorola Milestone users in Europe: No longer must you be mocked by your American counterparts running around with Froyo on their DROID handsets, Motorola released the Android 2.2 update you have bee waiting for. If you are in a region supported by the update, you can grab it directly from Motorola’s support page. [...]

The Motorola Droid has had Froyo since the tail-end of the summer, just a couple months after it was formally unveiled at this past Google I/O. This is important to note because the Motorola Milestone, the Droid’s twin for those not on Verizon’s network, is still yet to receive the update to Android 2.2. So [...]

The Motorola Milestone is the international name for the Motorola Droid, a handset that launched just about a year ago. Since then the sequel has debuted, and the sequels spin-off is about to drop in the from of the Droid 2 Global. So it makes perfect sense that now would be a great time for [...]

Looks like we’re moving closer and closer toward a release of Android 2.2 for those of you Milestone owners in Europe. It’s been a lengthy, drawn out process, but Motorola’s finally making progress and it seems you guys will be getting a nice gift heading into the holiday seasons. Hello. From next week we start [...]

As if owning a Ferrari wasn’t enough of a status symbol, the company has tasked Motorola with a custom deco of the original Milestone to slide into pockets lined with one hundred dollar bills. The phone looks pretty delicious in Ferrari red, but if you are hoping to get your hands on it you might [...]

Alltel just got a second, though aging, Android handset to bolster their lineup which up until now only featured the HTC Hero. Just as reported, the Motorola Milestone has landed at Alltel stores bringing along the stock “Google Experience” and all the hardware that made the phone a huge success under the Motorola Droid branding. [...]

After some initial confusion around the launch of the Motorola Milestone XT720 it was said that a once 550MHz CPU would ship at a clock speed of 720MHz. Turns out when the phone’s got into the hands of consumers they were still sitting right at the original, lower speed. But Moto wants to make things [...]

The Motorola Milestone and HTC Desire seem to be quite the popular devices when it comes to regional carriers around the United States, and they continue their tour of the country by landing on Kentucky’s Bluegrass Cellular. You can even sign up to receive a coupon for a whopping $10 off the purchase of either [...]

Who ever said online petitions and rallies couldn’t get anything done? Yesterday, we reported on the upgrade to Android 2.2 for Motorola’s Latin American Milestone owners. The status then? They simply would not get an upgrade to Android 2.2. Immediately, the Latin American community started on a campaign (which – on Twitter – can be [...]

The other day, we forgot to mention the status of the upgrade to Android 2.2 for our Latin Motorola Milestone-owning brethren (as well as the upgrade to 2.1 for the DEXT and BACKFLIP). If you felt sorry for the Canadians not seeing Froyo until 2011, then there simply is no good news to be had [...]

When Motorola updated their upgrade timeline to reflect the latest plans for their handsets, the Canadian Milestone was left without a solid timeframe provided. While some might argue that they’d rather have no timeframe at all than one that continues to shift, the chart was again updated today to give a better sense of when [...]

Motorola – one of the better manufacturers when it comes to transparency in their upgrade plans – has once again updated their chart to reflect the latest ETA on upgrades for several of their phone. We’re still waiting for Eclair to hit the CLIQ and CLIQ XT, but it shouldn’t be a long wait now [...]

Still no word when the Milestone might be getting Froyo, but a minor update to the Android 2.1 software has been issued to deal with bug fixes and overall improvements to the OS. The update is being pushed over the air, but if you are impatient and want to get your Milestone up to the [...]

Cellular South customers (would-be or otherwise) might be pleased to know that the Motorola Milestone is now available for purchase as of today. For $149.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a two-year agreement, you can get the device that originally launched in Europe as their version of Verizon’s Motorola Droid. There’s nothing much different [...]

After many of you left our story a week and some change back feeling jaded by Motorola and their supposed miscare for European Motorola Milestone users, we have some bit of confirmation that FroYo could be headed your way after all. O2 Germany posted on their Twitter account that the Milestone would be getting the [...]

After an unfortunate scare by Motorola when they’d stated they had yet to make a decision on bringing FroYo to the Milestone, the development community got a bit itchy and made some very impressive progress. Dext3r from ModMyMobile’s forums has gotten an almost-fully-working port of the FRF91 build that many Nexus One owners (and users [...]

Well this isn’t good. Motorola’s apparently undecided on whether or not they’ll ever bring FroYo to the “European Droid” – otherwise known as the Motorola Milestone. In a forum post over at Motorola’s site, marketing director for the European region James King states that – due to all of the things that must be considered [...]

As many Motorola Milestone users across the ocean (and many Motorola Droid owners here back home) await Android 2.2, Motorola’s gone ahead and released an maintenance update for the device overseas. It’s said that it will improve stability and improve the device’s overall performance. Such fixes should see a decline in force closing issues, random [...]
