The UK version of Motorola’s Android handset, Milestone, has sold out in a matter of hours. The phone, called Droid in the US, is currently exclusively distributed through expansys, the online mobile retailer at a price of £449.99 (inc VAT). According to Mobile Curnch, the first 1000 handsets sold out in a few hours, although another batch will be arriving shortly.
It looks like the Milestone/Droid could be a genuine competitor to the iphone, with the advantage of a pop-out keyboard, and, for those who aren’t keeen on Apple’s phone OS, the Android OS.
