Motorola Milestone Is A Top-Selling Phone in U.K.

Motorola’s success has gone global. The Motorola Milestone–basically the Euro-spec, GSM Droid has become a top-selling gadget over in the U.K. Retailer eXpansys has reported that the Milestone has become the fastest-selling gadget in its 11 years in business–even faster than the iPhone. The Milestone sold out in less than three hours after going on sale yesterday. Pre-orders were also strong, coming in around the 1,000 mark.

It might be a bit too early to call the Droid/Milestone a rousing international success since the “data” here is just from one retailer–and a retailer named “expansys” that uses a random capitalized X, at that.

Also missing is an actual hard figure on the number of phones sold. Despite those glaring deficiencies, it’s safe to say that this recent news is a big positive for the once-spiraling Motorola. [via Engadget]
