Motorola Milestone now in India - 3.7-inch screen, Android 2.1, @ Rs 32,990

If you've seen this ad, you know that it takes pictures in the dark, has interchangeable batteries.

This is the Android many have been waiting for. Why, you ask? Because it was the first Android that was in specs and features, comparable, or even better than the iPhone. The deal maker:  a 3.7 inch capacitive screen with a 854 pixel width in landscape mode. With a slide-out keyboard, you don't lose any screen real estate when typing a mail, or using an app that needs text input. And that's just scratching the surface, it's one of the best Android experience handsets you can get, that includes multitasking, Gmail, Google searches, and maps,  and access to a two year old app marketplace with a few interface enhancements not seen on the iPhone. It runs on the Cortex A8 processor, can do pinch and zoom, has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, and A-GPS. It has a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, Autofocus, and image stabilisation.

A unified contact management system that syncs up your Google, MS Office, and Facebook contacts. The phone has been customised for India, it comes preloaded with a Motonav, a voice-guided street-level navigable maps of 401 cities in India. Voice guided navigation makes this a great companion while driving. You can drive to 400,000 towns and villages and explore over one million points of interest (Hotels, petrol pumps, eating joints, ATMs, hospitals, tourist and religious spots.) The GPS navigation service is free with no activation or data charges, independent of mobile networks and can be used even without inserting the SIM card, as the maps are fully loaded on the phone. The Motorola Milestone will be available in India “at select retails outlets in select cities” at an MRP of Rs 32,990.
