14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone users in Australia interested in the purchase of a new Android-based handset should soon have the opportunity to get a Motorola Milestone 2 from the wireless carrier Vodafone, as the company is getting ready to make the phone available on its airwaves.
The wireless operator announced officially the move via a recent post on its blog, though it did not offer specific info on when would the new mobile phone be put on sale, nor on the price tag it might feature.
For those who might have not met the Milestone 2 before, we should note that the handset is the successor of the first Milestone from Motorola, and that it was already launched in various markets around the world, including the US, where it sports the name of DROID 2.
Some of the main features the new device lands on shelves with include: - Powered by Android 2.2 with MOTOBLUR 1.5 - Use MOTOBLUR to continuously update and back up user information in a secure environment - View texts, emails and social networking messages all in one unified inbox - Complete QWERTY keyboard + 3.7 inch touch screen for easy communication - 8GB internal memory + 8GB microSD card for all your media storage needs
According to Vodafone Australia, the new device should prove a great option for those users who are living active social networking lives.
Moreover, the new mobile phone comes with great other capabilities, including support for 3G networks, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity options, or the possibility to share a connection with WiFi-enabled devices via included 3G mobile hotspot functionality.
Other specs of this Android mobile phone include DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) functionality, a 3.7-inch screen, sliding QWERTY keyboard, 5MP camera on the back, or microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.
As stated above, Vodafone did not offer specific info on when the new mobile phone would be put on sale on its airwaves, but the announcement should follow shortly, so keep an eye on this space for more.
