Motorola Milestone Blue Unlocked GSM Smart Phone w/ 8MP Camera/ Android 2.1/ WiFi GPS

Pros: Great Basic Android Phone.
- Gorilla Glass
- Smooth Functionality
- Works with Simple Mobile 3G Data
- Nice Camera
- Upgradeable Software with Motorola Windows Desktop Software

Cons: - None For price

Other Thoughts: Great Android Phone to use with T-Mobile or Simple Mobile only, if you want 3G Data.

Pros: I bought it almost exclusively for the xenon flash, which is great. Makes it a replacement for a point and shoot camera in my opinion.

Light and thin, but very solid feel with metal construction.

Unlocked and works great on T-mobile in the USA.

720p HD video works great, HDMI cord is included in the box (A lot of other phones with this feature force you to pay $50+ for the cord ON TOP of the phone price).

Headset is VERY loud, much better than what I was used to.

Cons: Not having Android 2.2 is a con, but easy to do yourself.

Camera interface is kinda underdeveloped, would have been cool to see different effects/panorama/frames and such, but you have to get a 3rd party app from the market instead. Not that big of a deal.

Other Thoughts: Not sure why everyone is ripping on the camera speed and picture quality. I don't have any trouble with mine, the 720HD video comes out fine with the exception of a slight stutter on long videos (1 min+), and shutter speed isn't slow. For the users with bad pictures, if you have a third party case on the phone it could be blocking the light sensors on the back.

My opinion could be biased because I rooted and overclocked mine to 1Ghz the night I got it. It runs stably at 1Ghz and battery life is still fine for a solid day of hard use.

This is my first Android phone coming from Nokia N95/symbian OS and I couldn't be happier with the Android interface, definitely hooked! Overall, I'm not sure why this phone has such poor reviews on here.

Pros: Very good price considering. After doing enough research I found a forum for a custom upgrade to Android 2.2 Froyo which is an absolute must!! This phone is useless without it. Without 2.2 you cannot expect to get Flash support and you lose a lot of options for Apps. Also the custom 2.2 comes with an overclocking app as well. IT also includes JIT, which enhances performance altogether. The OS is jsut smoother. I was a previous iPhone 3GS owner and I have to say this phone just does not even compare, but it also is only $300 new.

Cons: Comes stock with Android OS 2.1.
The 8MP camera is not any better than a 2MP camera. It takes forever to even take a picture. If your buying it for the idea of an 8MP camera, don't! Oh and the worst part is is the "HD 720P" camcorder. The camcorder in itself doesn't work in any way, shape or form. It has such awful grainy quality, and has red lines across the screen.

Pros: i got this phone 2 months ago, everything is ok. i do overclock cpu from 720MHZ to 800MHZ.

Cons: this phone can update to android 2.2 later by yourself. Korean ver. already can update to 2.2. I think this is a Europe ver. it is possible to update to android 2.2 later.

Pros: Good specs, in theory. Xeon Flash. Works on T-Mobile in the US.

Cons: Camera shutter-lag is almost 3 seconds, spontaneous snapshots are not possible. Camera lens is not sharp, simply creates large files. Absolutely crippled on Android v2.1 as there is not enough internal memory upon which to install more than a few third party apps. Motorola has stated that they will NOT upgrade it to Android v2.2. USB cover snapped off easily. Touchscreen not as sensitive as the iPhone.

Other Thoughts: I had high hopes for this camera, but now it is a source almost constant frustration and regret. I would recommend avoiding this phone.

Pros: this is a nice phone.i will but it on thanksgiving.

Cons: but i worry they send me to a new one or used.just fix.you never know the happen.i will check when i get the phone.

Other Thoughts: be4 im order a new lcdTV.but the box is opened.plz may suer its new phone and box never be opened!

Pros: easy to use, no problems, good call quality...etc.

Cons: is not a Milestone II, but a Milestone XT720, it does come with eclair, but not sure if it will get updated to Froyo....even if the hardware is more than capable.

Other Thoughts: Froyo is really the hottest thing right now, with its functionality and speed upgrades. There's no time line for its release in the US market yet, but you can root it and get it safely. Overall though, for what I want in a phone (good call quality, SMS, MMS, browser, media, camera), it's pretty decent.

Pros: Nice design. Speedy enough. Android goodness. Works on T-Mobile in US and gets HSPA+ speeds. A real xenon Flash. Great sound quality when its working (which it currently isn't).

Cons: Glacially slow camera doesn't allow spontaneous snapshot taking at all.
Picture quality is subpar, NOT a substitute for a point-and-shoot.
Android 2.1 and may not get Froyo.
Microphone issues (this unit may be going back).

Other Thoughts: As a recent 2G iPhone user, I was elated by the faster T-Mobile data speeds of this phone. And while Android is good, I now see why everyone wants Froyo--2.1 has UI issues and seems a bit buggy. Still, it's a solid phone overall. My biggest disappointment stems from the fact that I got this phone to avoid carrying a small camera and a phone around, and the camera on this isn't very good. It shoots big 8MP pictures, sure, but not good ones. They look very digital and are not pleasing despite the xenon flash. The sound quality was far better than my ATT iPhone, but now the Mic isn't working (something about its noise cancellation feature, I think) so I may be sending it back for replacement.

Pros: phone functions pretty good, fast and reliable for calling and surfing

Cons: really bad picture quality my nokia n97 takes better pictures and videos wish I would have known I would not have bought it.

Pros: * Aesthetically pleasing industrial design, noticeably slimmer than Droid/Milestone and Droid 2 (slimmer than iPhone 3GS, probably as slim as iPhone 4G)
* Beautiful LCD screen
* 8 MP camera takes great shots for a mobile device
* Despite throttled down CPU, Android is quite peppy
* Compatible with T-Mobile's 3G and HSPA+ network
* HD video recording quality is good for mobile device, and direct to HDMI output is great

Cons: * Some lag, though not horrible, when many tasks are running
* Confusing HD output interface, forced me to reboot when initially using it
* Android keyboard still feels a little cramped (though easily alleviated if you're part of the Swype beta)

Other Thoughts: The Motorola Milestone XT720 is one of the latest entries to the Android parade of mobile devices. Released in January as the Motoroi in South Korea, it has begun its release in the European and Asian markets. Powered by essentially the same hardware specs as the original Milestone (though the CPU looks to be more capable, even if it is throttled down to 550 Mhz), the XT720 performs admirably as a mid-to-high range Android phone. The device runs on Eclair (Android 2.1) and performs all smartphone tasks as you would expect out of an Android device.

In particular, the camera on this device is quite good for a mobile device, taking shots at 8 megapixels and allowing for HD video recording up to 720p. The HD recording I'd say is on par with the EVO, ditto the still shots.

In short, for a very solid and unique Android experience (and better yet, unlocked in the US through NewEgg) I would highly recommend this device.
