I have recently purchased an unlocked Motorola Milestone ( DROID) which is unlocked on TATA CDMA network. I have purchased a new connection but TATA is not able tom activate the phone. Can someone help me with the process on how to activate it? I have entered the SIM MIN onto phone settings and have requested TATA to add MEID

How exactly is that relevant?

You can root the G1, too, but Droids ROMs won't work on that phone either, but nobody is proclaiming that "G1 has 2.2, read more for details" just because someone hacked a rom for the Droid.

Any and all Milestone versions are rootable with the vulnerable recovery sbf from here, none of them, however, have the unlocked bootloader of the droid, that would allow one to install custom roms like the 2.2 droid rom being discussed here.

Oh, btw. Mikey, there's at least a 2.1-update2 coming up in the near future, and Motorola has vaguely hinted at an official froyo for the Droid, which would pretty much mean the same thing for Milestone, just possibly on a different time frame.

You can root the Milestone. Here's video proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hc20WMlV8U

I wish people would stop using this "Droid/Milestone"-thing especially when referring to updates and hacks. Pretty much nothing that's made for Droid (roms, bootloaders, exploits etc.) will work on the Milestone.

These kinds of articles are the reason there's no point in googling for something like "milestone 2.2 update" etc. because 90% of the results will be Droid-only, and the rest will be people complaining on motorolas support-forums…

So my unlocked Milestone will forever be stuck at 2.1-update1 ?

This post does not apply to the Motorola Milestone. This is only for the Motorola Droid (CDMA) .. while the Milestone is Quad-Band (GSM/UMTS).
