Motorola Milestone is the first Android 2.1 phone available for Indian users. Although Motorola is not new in Android phones and Motorola Droid was the first one to challenge iPhone but they are not available to Indian users. So apparently Motorola Milestone is the first Android phone in India from Motorola.

Also, it comes with Android latest version operating system for richer and faster web and media experience.
