Motorola Milestone Sells Out in Less Than 3 Hours in UK

By

motorola-droidThe Motorola Droid, or the Motorola Milestone as it’s called in Europe, has been making waves in the UK. Online retailer eXpansys, an exclusive vendor of the Motorola Milestone, revealed today that the new Motorola handset completely sold out in about 2.5 hours. eXpansys had received over 1000 pre-orders for the Milestone and the retailer says it had to increase its Milestone shipment from Motorola twice.

“On Thusday December 10th, the first shipment of the Motorola Milestone was delivered into the UK, to be sold exclusively by eXpansys.com. Within 3 hours of the product being listed as ‘in stock’ on the eXpansys site it sold out. This makes the Motorola Milestone the fastest selling gadget in the website’s 11 year history, even more successful than the iPhone“, says eXpansys in a statement to Pocket-lint.

Better late than never, the Motorola Moto G100 lands in the U.S.

The Motorola Moto G100 is now available in the U.S., after being released elsewhere in the world in March. Why it has taken Motorola so long to get the phone into its own online store in the U.S. is a mystery, but to make up for the delay the phone can currently be purchased with a $100 discount on its usual full price of $599. That puts it into a very competitive space, so what do you get?

The Moto G100 uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor. Announced at the beginning of 2021, the chip is almost identical to the old Snapdragon 865+ found in phones like the Asus ROG Phone 3, but with a slightly faster CPU and GPU speed. It's paired here with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage space. It's a 5G-capable GSM phone, which means it will work on the AT&T and T-Mobile networks, but according to Motorola, it will only get a 5G signal if you're on T-Mobile.
