Motorola Milestone becomes eXpansys UK's 'fastest selling gadget'

[Twilight_Moto]

Call it a pent-up demand for WVGA Android devices, call it Droid jealousy, call it an unnatural love for the sweet, doughy goodness of a just-baked Eclair -- but whatever it is, early indications suggest that the British love their Milestones. Retailer eXpansys (which is big enough to actually produce some meaningful sales trend data, we suspect) is reporting that the just-launched Droid clone for GSM became "the fastest selling gadget in the website's 11 year history, even more successful than the iPhone" when it sold out inside of three hours on its site on top of the roughly 1,000 preorders they had taken prior to the 10th. This might be a case of double-speak -- we're trying to establish just how many phones were sold during those three hours, because what we really need is a sales rate, not a time span alone -- so we're cautioning Moto not to bust out the champagne glasses just yet, but it's certainly looking like a promising start. Schaumburg hasn't had a lot of success in Western Europe in recent years, of course, but if we can use eXpansys as a barometer here, we'd say that a little cautious optimism is well justified.

Yay, Motorola did it really good, but have you seen the ad ?
It was somewhat disappointed, it didn't attract me much.
I prefer Verizon's ads to this Milestone's ad.

Do you have a link to an advertisement you can post?

You can wait for the official one, for a few months later, the price would go down.

well done, I haven't heard a bad thing said about the Droid so far, which is certainly a good thing in an iPhone dominated world! but now comes Google's own offering, the Nexus One, cant wait to see how they compare!

The Milestone came to Vietnam with the price almost 900$
Keep waiting for the official one
