Motorola MILESTONE hate campaign hits Amazon!

They’ve only gone and done it. The weekend’s call to arms for Motorola MILESTONE users to declare CYBERWAR on Motorola has got underway, with the Android phone’s Amazon listing today seeing the first effects of the war – a one-star review criticising Motorola’s lack of an Android 2.0.1 bug-fixing release in most of Europe.

Although the comment-leaver isn’t actually from Europe – he’s based in South Africa. Probably just the sort of chap who enjoys a good fight. A bit like us.

Will these comments be allowed to stand? We hope so. While it’s a little unfair of Motorola users to expect the company to issue firmware updates over-the-air to all separate European territories immediately, there’s no denying Motorola’s been a bit tactless in its handling of the affair – which would be understandable, were the Euro-spec MILESTONE not crippled by the bizarre time-based camera glitch which renders the phone’s camera virtually useless.

  1. Don’t hate Motorola; just don’t like being lied to and having a blatantly faulty product that I paid a premium to receive, and rubbish support / service from a big vendor. Also blatantly HATE the fact that this device is nothing like the Droid (in spite of being punted as simply the GSM version of it).

    Dishonest, dishonest, dishonest!

  2. PS. Bought my phone from Expansys UK and had it shipped, who promptly refused to accept this exact same comment made last week on their web comments site. Poor form, Expansys.
