By Germany hasn’t yet got to enjoy the love/hate relationship between Motorola’s BLUR Android build and the people loving/hating it – but they soon will. Motorola Europe’s Facebook page has just announced that the Motorola Backflip is headed to Germany.

The whole 2.0.1 update fiasco is just one example. Their arrogant attituted towards customers who’d like the Milestone to have an open bootloader just as the Droid has is an other example.
In a nutshell: We couldn’t care less if Motorola tries to sell an other Android handset or not because most of us have decided that our next handset will be manufactured by HTC. Besides, the device is fugly…
please, have a look on this site to understand the problem: Motorola “Milestone” the smart-phone with a clear limitation! http://piratenpad.de/eRWgVYIxzK
