14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola MILESTONE, the European version of the high-end Motorola DROID, has been recently spotted as available for pre-order in the UK via a retailer, and now we learn users can place orders in advance via Expansys UK too. The handset is expected to arrive in stock as soon a December 7 is here, the same day as the one showed by superetrader, which means that there are great chances it will become available on shelves around that date.
Expansys says that it will have the handset available exclusively in the UK, while the price tag for MILESTONE seems to have been set at £449.99, SIM-free, in line with what we've learned before about its cost. The handset comes to the UK market with Google's Android 2.0 operating system on board and also sports a wide range of high-end specs and feature, which should appeal to a wide range of users out there.
Most of you might have heard already what MILESTONE, Motorola's second Android-powered device, is capable of bringing around: a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen display that boasts a 480 x 854 pixel resolution, a 5-megapixel photo snapper with auto focus, video recording, dual LED flash, image stabilization and geo-tagging, and support for Quad-Band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and Tri-Band 850/900/2100 MHz frequencies, as well as for HSDPA (10.7Mbps) and HSUPA (5.76Mbps).
A wide range of other features are also present with the new handset, including a music player with support for MP3, AAC, eAAC+, OGG & WMA, messaging capabilities (SMS, MMS and IM), support for email (POP3, SMTP, IMAP4, MS Exchange, Gmail), 968MB of internal memory and a microSDHC memory card slot for additional storage space, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth, microUSB, Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11g), A-GPS, and support for a wide range of Google services. Moreover, the phone comes with a 1400 mAh battery, capable of delivering up to 6.5 hours of talk time or around 380 hours of standby time. Motorola MILESTONE can be seen on Expansys here.
