Best Buy is now taking pre-orders for the Motorola Milestone, which is slated to ship on the 18th. You can put a deposit of $50 for the phone today. Motorola did not let the Nexus One’s multi-touch update go unchallenged, as the Droid has received an over-the-air multi-touch update of its own.

$50 guarantees that you will get your Milestone at its Canadian launch. The Milestone will be Canada’s first and only Android Eclair smartphone with HVGA resolution.

Motorola’s pinch-to-zoom update for the Droid works only in Google Maps, but this is a decent start. Seeing as how Adobe is lazy and will never release Flash 10.1, when will Motorola make the Droid Flash Lite compatible like the Devour?
