Motorola Australia has confirmed the release of its latest Android 2.1 handset the Milestone. If it looks familiar to you, that’s because it is actually the Droid, which was a hugely popular release over in the US last year.
The Motorola Milestone is being released exclusively via Optus on 7 July and has been eagerly anticipated by many Australian consumers.
“The Motorola Milestone breaks down the barriers for consumers to create and consume media on the go – providing a rich mobile web experience, superior messaging and top-of-the-line multi-media features,” said Timo Brouwer, managing director, Motorola ANZ and South Pacific.
The new addition is powered by an Android 2.1 operating system, has a really thin QWERTY slider keypad and a multi-touch 3.7 inch display. Other features include a cortex A8 processor, 5 megapixel camera, Motorola Media Link and Motorola Phone Portal.
There is also an optional Driver’s Pack accessory which includes a phone cradle, car mount and in-car charger.
The Motorola Milestone will be available through Optus for $0 on a yes social $49 plan over 24 months.
