Motorola Milestone

Sales of the Motorola Milestone, the European version of the Verizon Wireless Motorola DROID, began on December 10th and the popular Android handset flew off the virtual shelves of online retailer eXpansys. The UK retailer confirmed that its entire inventory of the Motorola Milestone sold out within 2.5 hours, making the Milestone the fastest selling product ever in the retailer’s eleven year history. eXpansys also received one thousand pre-orders for the Milestone and has increased its order to Motorola twice. Good news if you missed this first round of sales, eXpansys expects to have another shipment in hand and ready to sell in time for Christmas.

A new report says that Verizon may release in the future a Motorola handset similar to the XT1058 (rumored AT&T XFON), suggesting that a CDMA Google X Phone may be launched alongside a GSM version…

If that’s real, I can now safely say that the X phone isn’t Nexus, but rather a slightly skinned Motorola phone (if that screenshot is true) because the “droid blast” icon doesn’t follow the design line of the other holo icons

“Droid Blast” sounds like something you’d need to take Imodium to prevent from happening again.

It was nice while it lasted, well, back to waiting for the next nexus in november.

Love the way the render looks.

The concept picture looks pretty sweet but the specs are a year old. If this is true, I’ll pass.

Google should give Motorola chance with next nexus device or make multiple Nexuses with more then one manufacture.
Main problem in my point view with Motorola is slow update I hope after Google acquisition it will be faster I will skip this device if it is not Nexus and I will C if Motorola getting better in updating wise or not.

Hate to kill the excitement here, but just by seeing the “droid blast” option we know it’s Verizon exclusive and that kills the possibility of it being a nexus. It would be cool to see software from all the different oem’s directly available for nexus devices or even all phones. For example, what if you like the build quality of a Motorola but the Samsung touch wiz software. Or you like HTC sense but want a removable battery and expandable storage options of Samsung Galaxy phones. This would also grant the ability to turn any hardware capable phone into a nexus style device as well.
