Motorola releases Milestone to South Africa

Motorola announced the release of the Milestone, an Android based smartphone, to the local market.

According to Motorola the Milestone is one of the thinnest QWERTY keyboard sliding devices, measuring in at 13.7mm. It also features a 3.7 inch capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 480×854 and multitouch support. 

It also features HSDPA 10.2 Mbps, 8GB of onboard memory with MicroSD support for up to 32GB, a 5 Megapixel camera with autofocus and a dual LED flash.  The Milestone runs on Google’s Android 2.1 mobile OS.

A suite of Google mobile applications including Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail and YouTube are also integrated into the device.

“Milestone is a smart phone without compromise, delivering a wiser, richer web and messaging experience. This is possible through the combination of Motorola’s expertise in design and a truly differentiated Android experience,” says Stephen Nolan, Area Vice President for the Middle East and Africa of Motorola.

“As an Android 2.1 device, Milestone does what other smartphones don’t. It was designed to enhance consumer experiences – and its full screen web browsing experience, ability to juggle between multiple apps, and suite of Google applications deliver.  We have been delighted with the anticipation and demand for Milestone across the world and pleased to announce its arrival in South Africa today.” 

Initially the Milestone will only be available on MTN packages. Pricing and availability details are unavailable at present.
