Motorola Europe has just sent word that its long-delayed update to the MILESTONE has finally “rolled out” to UK users, with a direct download link on the company’s update site now letting people select “UK” and grab the update to Android 2.1 for the glitchy old Motorola Android phone.
The update will also be provided over-the-air in a few days, according to Motorola. Here’s the full statement:
“UK Milestone owners – At last, the 2.1 upgrade rolls out today. Thank you for your patience and we hope you enjoy enhancements such Speech to Text, live wallpapers, up to 9 home screens, and added security for exchange server users. The update is available now via PC download from http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/support/update/ and will be followed by an over-the-air version in coming days”
Lovely. That’s one very embarrassing chapter in the history of Android and Motorola finally brought to a close.
Hopefully we’ll never have to type the word MILESTONE ever again after this.

/ May 7, 2010Why all the hate? My Milestone has been fine for weeks since I updated to EU 2.1 – and it was just as good as the HTC offerings with 2.0.1
