How to Get UK Milestone For Less

Like most people my contract and my G1 are up for renewal and having played with the Milestone for a month or two it got me thinking as to what phone I should upgrade to. I have many options open to me but the Milestone is lacking in options when it comes to getting it from the different carriers. Go to any of the major UK carriers and it isn’t listed. Since the release of the Motorola Milestone in the UK it has been available on the Expansys site for £379.99 sim free or with a T-Mobile contract. Now it is also available on Play.com for £379.99 sim free also, but I feel this phone isn’t getting the attention or the publicity it deserves. I have attached my review of it here and believe it should be available direct from the carriers. So here’s my tip>   Go to Mobiles.co.uk and you can get the phone free on T-Mobile, Orange or Vodafone. This gives us people who don’t have nigh on £400 available to spend on a phone a chance to upgrade once our contract expires or a more affordable way of obtaining this lovely phone. I have used this site before to get my wife’s phone (by the way I am in no way AT ALL affiliated with this site!) and found it to be quick and easy. With the upcoming releases of the Legend, Desire and Nexus One in the UK, I think the Milestone is going to need all the help it can get! Click here to view the embedded video.

You’re Not Alone We’ve been sent a handful of emails these few hours from some unhappy Motorola Milestone users.  It seems that music is skipping whenever it’s being played, regardless of the application being used.  …

Motorola Droid sells an estimated 1.05 million units in 74 days

%image%

The Motorola Droid outperformed the iPhone in its first 74 days of availability. While the first gen iPhone sold 1 million units in its first 74 days of sales, the Motorola Droid sold 1.05 million according to estimates from Flurry Analytics. These are just sales estimates rather than exact figures, but they are encouraging signs of

Droid Outsells iPhone?

Flurry, a company that has analytics tracking code on at least 1 app on 80% of iPhone and Android devices, has just released some incredibly interesting statistics. With that level of reach, the company is confident they can accurately estimate/report on unit sales of individual phone models. Want to see their estimate of Motorola Droid sales vs. Apple iPhone sales after each phone was on the market for 74 days? That’s right – the Motorola Droid beats out the iPhone (first generation) by a hair. Pretty amazing accomplishment if you ask me. And as the Android army grows in numbers on a number of levels – carriers, manufacturers, form factors, etc… – the statistics will only get more impressive. [ Flurry via MobileCrunch ]

Cliq XT Coming In At $99

That’s a great price for this entry level phone, especially since it has Android 1.5 and is a Cliq without the keyboard. Although this device has been covered ever since it was codenamed Zeppelin , I don’t expect this to be a huge seller. But if you are in the market for a cheap touchscreen with extensive social networking capabilities then this is the phone for you. A leaked price sheet puts the Cliq XT at $129.99, and as it turns out the actual price on a 2-year contract will be $99.99 or $199 with 1-year contract. Even More Plus customers might have to pay $329.99, these prices are still unconfirmed and are subject to change but these prices seem to fit the product so I expect this to be true. Anybody waiting on this, probably not but at $99 it will attract a few customers. [via tmonews ]

Nexus One sales dramatically less than DROID or 1st-gen iPhone

Google were always taking a risk by trying to sell the Nexus One direct to consumers rather than through more traditional carrier partnerships, and it looks like that risk hasn’t paid off. According to analytics specialists Flurry – who you might remember from previous Android-related stats – Google has sold just 135,000 Nexus One handsets after 74 days of availability. In comparison, Flurry point to the original iPhone and the Motorola DROID, which sold 1m and 1.05m respectively in their own respective first 74 days of availability. Of course, both of those devices were launched with strong carrier partners and in-store availability, while the Nexus One was offered with T-Mobile USA and online-only. Does that make the Nexus One a sales failure?  Or has the smartphone fulfilled its task: to act as a halo product for Google and spur on their other hardware partners to offer improved devices with newer versions of Android?  Let us know what you think in the comments.

All But Confirmed – Motorola Cliq XT Launching This Week for $99

CLIQ XT Coming Wednesday, Getting BOGO Offer Immediately?

TMOtoday has published a trio of rumors today, stating that the Motorola CLIQ XT is arriving in stores , will start selling March 17th for $99 , and will immediately be available as part of a Buy One Get One Free campaign at T-Mobile that they said would start today . Internal screenshot regarding price/date: Here is the screenshot they claim validates the latter of those 3 rumors (BOGO): I would be surprised if a brand new Android Phone were offered as part of a BOGO sale, but I’ve been surprised before. Other Android Phones rumored to be included in that sale are the Samsung Behold 2 , T-Mobile G1 , T-Mobile MyTouch 3G and Motorola CLIQ. Was anyone here in a TMO store today that can verify any of this occurring?

TELUS Milestone Rooted (Kinda)

Rooting the Motorola Milestone has been a somewhat impossible task given Motorola locking down the bootloader. I say somewhat because some folks at AllDroid have managed to gain root access on the TELUS Milestone, albeit without kernel access. A good start is better than nothing and there are some directions on how to root the TELUS Motorola Milestone over at AllDroid. I find the poll at the top quite humorous: “Did this thread help any” with the choices all answering questions with questions… onf of them “Did you brick your phone”? Feel free to try this out yourself, but if you have to answer the question with the question we noted – don’t blame us!

Motorola Milestone Pre-Loaded With Android 2.1 In Bulgaria?

The Motorola Droid launched with Android 2.0. Then the Nexus One launched with Android 2.1. Since then Droid owners have been clamoring for 2.1, been promised and then unpromised the update, and are still waiting for its arrival. That arrival might finally be coming if its pre-loaded existence on Motorola Milestones in Bulgaria is any indication. That’s right – starting March 20th, Motorola Miletones sold in Bulgaria with a carrier named VIVACOM will come with Android 2.1 according to Bulgaria.com . If that’s the case, we would expect other operators in Europe to start offering the same. And furthermore, we would expect a carrier offering 2.1 out of the box to also offer updates to existing Milestone owners with the same phone (but with an older OS). Whether or not this situation extends to the American brother – the Motorola Droid – is uncertain. And lets not forget that each carrier is probably putting Android 2.1 through the paces on each separate phone before it will push the update to the public. But this is at least a good sign that the Droids and Milestones of the world will be getting Android 2.1 before long. Lucky, lucky Bulgarians. [Via Engadget ]
