Motorola Milestone's ad campaign less likely to leave you in a bloody heap than Droid's

Motorola's European version of the Droid -- the Milestone -- is on the verge of release in the UK, so it's not surprising to see ads starting to pop up. This is the first we've seen, and we'll say that the approach is... interesting. In contrast to the over the top, explosive (literally -- did you see that banana?!) Verizon Droid ads, the Milestone ad is all about information, delivered in a soothing, sophisticated tone. "Intelligence and versatility converge" here, and we have to say we much prefer this approach over the it's a "frickin' robot" one taken by Verizon. Decide for yourself -- the video is after the break.

Boring and generic. If this was on TV, the consumer will have already flipped the channel away from the ad. Seems more like a kiosk style infomercial.

Btw, the motion design on that piece is awful and amateurish. Looks like it was made by someone who just learned how to do some tricks in After Effects and then went overboard.
