Motorola Droid To Be Called The Milestone In Europe

Motorola called the Droid in the US, it will be the Milestone in Europe. The Motorola Milestone will run Android OS and the first phone to ship with the new v2.0 Android OS. The Motorola Milestone has a an cool 3.7 inch capacitive touchscreen display supporting multi-touch , with a impressive resolution of 480 x 854 pixels. Yet it won’t be just a touch screen, it will also have a slide out QWERTY keyboard – in fact it will have the distinction of being the worlds slimmest mobile phone to feature both touch and keyboard functions.

This phone won’t have Google Maps Navigation software that American Droid owners will be enjoying . This is a shame but everything else is pure Android with Motorola claiming the Milestone will have around 10,000 apps available come launch date. The Motorola Milestone also has an ARM Cortex 550 MHz processor putting it in a similar league to the iPhone 3GS and Palm Pre which should ensure the phone is able to perform multi-tasking.

Motorola’s Milestone features everything you’d expect in a high end smartphone. It has HSDPA and Wi-Fi , that are ready to take the Milestone online with the former reaching an impressive 10.2 Mbps whilst on board GPS should handle your navigation needs. On board memory is still to be confirmed, but the phone does feature a MicroSD memory card supporting expansion up to 32GB. The Milestone also includes a 5.0 Megapixel camera with autofocus and a dual LED flash as well as high resolution video capture in D1 720 x 480 pixel resolution at 24 frames per second. Rounding it all of we find a 3.5 mm audio jack, MP3 music player, Bluetooth v2.1 with support for music streaming and a micro USB port.

We don’t have any release date just yet, so check back or bookmark are site for up dates. I have found a nice Smartphone Comparison table by Bill Shrink on the Mashable website, which features the Motorola Milestone – just remember taht its called the Droid in the US.
