Hi all,

while I'd agree that Motorola has done well with their phones in general - I have a Milestone and am still very pleased with it - support outside the US is pretty poor.

My Milestone is still on Android 2.1, and it will be several months at least, before I can update it, unless I root the phone. Current feeling on the Motorola forum I checked was that updates to 2.2 will be the last, so if Motorola decides to keep the OS locked that's as far as I can go unless I start risk-taking.

All this on a phone less than a year old. My next phone will not be a Motorola, and when I get a tablet, I'll give the Motorola one a miss.

Cheers,
