This post here is for all our UK readers. Your prized Motorola Milestone (that’s “Droid” to all you yanks) has just been given a most precious gift: an update to Android 2.1, affectionately known as “eclair”.

Now, this isn’t as revolutionary an upgrade as all those late-to-the-party Hero owners are about to get (because they’re coming from Android 1.5, affectionately known as “old”), but it’s still nice to know your running the latest firmware. Well, at least until Froyo comes along.

For all you eager bevears, you can grab the update here, otherwise, an over-the-air
