Motorola Milestone owners still haven’t managed to get the phone’s bootloader unlocked, making custom Android ROMs (Froyo, for example) a whole heck of a lot more difficult — but not impossible. It seems that the community is getting close to successfully employing a “kexec” solution, meaning a new kernel would be executed on top of [...]
Approximately one month ago Cellular South announced that a they were getting a new handset. However the phone was shrouded in a crimson cloth that could not be penetrated.

Opinion on the Motorola FLIPOUT with MOTOBLUR, announced last week, varied from “it’s distinctive” to “it’s just plain ugly”, but after a hands-on fondle this morning we’re beginning to change our mind.
