Users are reporting that they have been given prompts that the update is available to launch. It’s somewhere in the ballpark of 148MB to download, but shouldn’t take too long to download (as long as you’re on WiFi). The update is bringing the coveted Live Wallpapers to the Milestone, along with the nine home panels, some new applications, and Motorola’s Car Home interface, which is specifically designed for usage while in the car. We’re going to have to assume that doesn’t mean you should use it while you’re driving, though. So . . . Don’t.

There isn’t any telling how long it will take to roll out over the other European countries, but the updates seem to be coming in at a steady clip. Where does Canada fit into all of this? We wish we knew. Hopefully someone up in the North will let us know if they’re starting to see the update roll out to them, or if their carriers are being a bit more stingy with the goodness. If you’ve got the official update from Motorola, please let us know what you think.

Just to be frank, the Motorola Droid (which is running here in the States, on the Verizon Wireless network) is currently running Android 2.0.1, but that’s not good enough. Folks with the device want the latest and greatest, especially when it has things like Live Wallpapers, or an application drawer that rotates like a toilet paper roll. They want those things. Unfortunately for those waiting for an upgrade, they are slow. They’re happening, it just takes some time. However, we do have a bit of a glimmer of hope, at least for those in the European region (which means MILESTONE owners, and not Droid adopters). On March 20th, Mobile Bulgaria has it that Vivacom (the region’s largest wireless carrier) will be offering up their own version of the Motorola MILESTONE, Android 2.1 and all.

So, what’s that mean for the rest of Europe (and Canada, by default)? We honestly don’t know. We’d love to tell you that Android 2.1 is now definitely confirmed for an end-of-March release, but we just can’t. Yes, Motorola and Google may be using Vivacom to usher in the new 2.1 update for MILESTONE users, but that’d be a long-shot, we imagine. Though, considering the mishaps that Motorola had regarding an update to 2.1 earlier in the year, we can’t imagine there’s much more time between 2.1 and DROID/MILESTONE users. Just have to hold on for a little bit longer.

Although there is no different on the hardware specs and design, Mobile Review’s Eldar Murtazin has spotted some changes on the built in software. First the Motorola Milestone has got mutitouch support while the US version Motorola Droid do not have this activated. You can use the multitouch for zooming in web browser and photo viewer. Secondly the Google Maps Navigation will not be supported in Motorola Milestone. Motorola will pre-install its own MOTONAV software for turn-by-turn navigation and it will only be available for 60-days trial.

You can expect to see the official Motorola Milestone announcement soon. Mean while check out the hands on video by Eldar Murtazin below
