Thanks very much for that Dan! I couldn't have hoped for a better Droid / Milestone mentor tbh. I'm gonna keep a note of your post. I'm just researching the phone at the moment but I think your post has pretty much swayed me.

I never knew it was their (at the the time) flagship phone. I assumed it more a mid-range phone for some reason.

With regards to the mods, hacks and roms.....I think I read somewhere that the UK version Milestone has a locked Bootloader which is unbreakable or something along them lines?

I'm assuming that because it is around the same age as the N900, that they aren't being newly produced anymore. I've kinda settled on getting a second hand one from somewhere anyway so that doesn't bother me.

Argh, I had a few other questions that I've forgotten :-/. I might have to annoy you over the next few months Dan with the odd question here and there! :-)
