Motorola’s European marketing director James King recently made the following announcement of the Milestone getting the Froyo update in near future:

Next European Milestone and 2.2 (Froyo). I have expressed over the last  few days that the decision is pending. The team here has been collating  key pieces of information and views from this community in the last  month and providing input to relevant teams in Motorola so they are  aware. I am pushing for that decision to be made as quickly as possible,  and we can then all go from there. Some others ask why the decisions on  upgrades take so long, and why does implementation then take much  longer still. What I can say and have stated recently is that upgrades  are not a walk in the park.

Sure there are short cuts that people can  take, but when you have to integrate software to a specific hardware,  then test it and integrate with third party applications, let alone any  innovation from ourselves, plus then get approvals to make this all  official and safe… its is a big undertaking that requires planning and  resource and third party coordination to see this all through. As I say,  once we have decision, we will inform. JK

This said, we, Milestone Owners are bullied again and again. The dream of having a decent bugless and high performance Motorola phone is vanishing. There still aren’t any straight decision from Motorola but let’s not get too much hope in order to avoid any further deception from being cheated by the Apple like company…

The right hopes are now:

  • Waiting for developers to find a way to flash 2.2 ROM though that persistent f@*#ing bootloader
  • Wait for some dude with enough voice to spit on Moto’s way to lie to their Milestone customers

What I suggest for the time being:
