Motorola Milestone Overview
A Motorola Milestone review reveals that this phone was released as Motorola’s new mobile phone, amid a hail of publicity and claims that it was Motorola’s come-back phone. It does have a large 3.7 inch screen that gives you an impressively high quality image, and the multi-touch facility that was left out of earlier versions.
The Android 2.0 system works really well here and allows you to customise the on-screen presentation to suit, viewing apps as, when and if you want. Perhaps they could have a few more applications on offer in their store as they are not quite up to the level iPhone users expect.
The Milestone’s design when compared to other mobile phones lets it down a bit because it is a little boxy and hard edged. Perhaps Motorola’s design is a little too clinical but touches like the brushed copper controls do add something to the look.
Milestone’s camera is nothing spectacular with only 5-megapixels and a poor quality lens, but editing and watching videos on the big screen is great and their system allows you to quickly edit and put them online for people to enjoy. There is also a slide out QWERTY keyboard, which is a little small and difficult to use. The direction pad on the side could have been done away with and the extra room created would have provided a more useable workspace.
Motorola have all in all released a decent quality phone in the Milestone. The screen would have to be the main advantage as it makes web browsing so much easier.
