GSM-fueled Motorola MILESTONE a.k.a. DROID launches in Europe - read the full textThat didn't take long - the GSM version of the Motorola DROID is official and is headed for Europe. It's going to be called MILESTONE and Germany and Italy will be the first to get it, but the bad news is that it won't have the same perks as the US version.

Why do people keep comparing every phone to N900. nbuy do you go into the Nokia X3 forum and compare that to the N900?

Look at the quality of N76 vs. V3....

And you're judging based on the fact you have never owned Milestone...or even N900, for that matter. Interesting.

BTW, N900 can't even support MMS, right? And how about the price? Twice that of Milestone?

Sorry, I didn't say why N900 is better. Here is a list of advantages of the N900:

Stereo speakers
Kick stand
Camera cover
Better quality lens
Not as long or wide
More keyboard travel
Stylus
FM transmitter and receiver
Integrated 32GB
TV-out
IR-port
Front facing camera
Resistive touchscreen
SIM card slot
No need for underclocking

And don't forget the most important thing of them all: better overall quality (including build, speakers, camera etc.).

It looks nice, but is there any restriction on phone use, i mean manipulating with files like we symbian60 do just like doing on computer.
Transferring files to other devices via BT or Wi-fi.
Using the device as wireless modem.
Is it dependent this droid system on computer for updating or installing things on it, i mean the the Symbian60 its possible to update wirellessly and download and install anything you want in it, without need to connect to computer for any synchronization.
