A bit of unconfirmed bad news, regarding the Motorola Milestone (Droid).
It appears that o2 and T-Mobile have both declined to offer the handset, in the UK.
That leaves only 3, Orange and Vodafone, that may offer it, or........maybe just buy it sim-free.
Why the UK, one of the world's most important mobile markets is being backward about the Milestone, and
even Brazil will be rolling it out, is a matter of conjecture.
In T-Mobile's case, I feel that they did not anticipate the public wanting a Motorola much here, as the brand,
though well-respected in the USA, means very little in Europe. Also, T-Mobile already have the G2, Pulse, and
have only just begun phasing out the G1, so maybe the Milestone was one Android phone too many. I suppose
they still have to balance their line-up, with phones with other OS's from Symbian, Blackberry, and WindowsMobile.
Still, they may retract their standpoint and reconsider, if consumer demand drives them.
