Crumbs! The Motorola Milestone (or Motorola Droid as it is known in the US) hasn’t been out that long, showing off its Android goodness, and already it’s getting a substantial price-drop! The Milestone is packing some serious stats (480×854 screen, Android V2.0, 5MP camera for example), so now it’s well-equipped AND a good bargain!
According to TechDigest, eXpansys had the UK exclusivity until 14th Jan, but now it’s a veritable free-for-all as e-tailers like Play.com, Handtec,and Mobilefun get on the case, and start discounting things. The best price currently (at time of posting) is from Handtec at £398.31, but all of these deals are within a couple of pounds of each other.
It has apparently managed to rack up good volumes of sales since it’s release, so I’m maybe a little surprised to see it dropping in price – but then again, with the recent launch of the Google Nexus One, perhaps it was decided by the bods at Motorola to give the Milestone a little extra impetus – and a financial stimulus always helps, just ask the banks 
Anyway, click on the links in the story if you want to visit those e-tailers and check out their latest price.

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
