Motorola Milestone Mobile Phone Overview


In the past the Motorola brand was all style with little substance, this time they are back with a strong line of devices, all set in Smartphones market. Here, we are talking about the latest Motorola Android device, the Motorola Milestone which is known as the Motorola Droid in the US. Motorola Milestone delivers a richer Web, smarter messaging and top-of-line media features, all on the thinnest QWERTY slider available. The Motorola Milestone is a significant launch and it will be the first handset to run Android 2.0, the very latest version of the software bringing a whole host of new services to the consumer, as well as offering many development opportunities for the programming communities.

Android 2.0 offers more functionality improvements over 1.6, rather than visual flair or excitement in the same way that perhaps Apple concentrates on. But it's the little things that can soon add up to make it better than the sum of its parts. Furthermore, the first thing you'll notice about the Motorola Milestone is the build quality. Starting at the front we have a 3.7" transflective, capacitive touch screen display which is capable of 16.7 million scales which explains why the image on-screen looks so good. Below the screen there's a couple of touch-sensitive 'buttons'. Moving on to the left side of the handset you'll find the Micro USB sync/charge connector. Round to the right we can see the dedicated camera button, which is a fetching gold color. On the top of the device we have the 3.5mm headphone connector that will allow you to use either your own standard headphones or the included wired headset. The back is almost completely flat with the exception of a slight lip at the top and bottom of the handset. These help to protect the 5 mega pixel auto focus camera and the dual LED's from damage when you place the handset on its back on a desk.

The phone is noticeably thinner than before, coming in at just 13.7mm thick, which is impressive when you realize that it packs a full QWERTY keyboard into that frame as well with a five-way navigation key at the end, which is ideal when web browsing or navigating through documents. The newest Google features let you use your voice or your fingertips to search for what you want. Find anything on the web or on your phone including contacts, applications and more. The Milestone having a 5.0 Mega pixel camera, with auto focus and Dual LED flash. Video recording also scores well, with the Milestone able to record up to D1 quality (720 x 480) at 24fps. With it’s built-in GPS and electronic compass you arrive at the right place with MOTONAV spoken turn-by-turn directions. The optional Phone Holder transforms your phone into a hands-free, personal navigation device with satellite location.
