Motorola Milestone 2

“Great phones are never good at just one thing. The Motorola MILESTONE 2 can do a lot and it can do it right for a lot of different users.The comfortable keyboard and full set of messaging features will appeal to business users. The social networking support will please the social buff and the sturdy metallic frame and scratch-resistant display will be appreciated by all.There’re not many negative things to say about the hardware – we didn’t quite like the slider and the 8GB of internal memory being limited to apps but that’s it.The software package is pleasingly rich – the preloaded apps will be enough for most people. Motorola has put a lot of thought and effort into refining MOTOBLUR and the end result provides a robust messaging experience, regardless of the network or service.You should bear in mind though that all recent Android smartphones by Motorola come with a locked bootrom so rooting or tinkering with the MOTROOLA 2 at system level is not possible right now. Motorola doesn’t like its customers to mess with the software on their phones.The company also advises you to buy the handset for its current software and features and not rely on future Android updates as they are not certain for all versions, models and regions.To make it a bit easier for the new MILESTONE 2, finding a high-end messaging droid is a bit of a challenge these days. So you really don’t have many options if you’re after a hardware QWERTY keyboard.The Motorola MILESTONE 2 is a no-regrets phone. With solid build and excellent software, it will do everything you want it to and do it better than most.”

“Although we have drawn attention to the lack of redesign, Motorola have changed several of the more important problems which existed on the first Milestone, namely that awful gold d-pad and subsequently the size of the keys, plus they’ve upgraded the processor to a 1GHz item. Don’t forget that HTC’s QWERTY-equipped Desire Z uses an 800MHz processor, giving the Milestone 2 the edge in that respect. OK, so the chances of us seeing an R2-D2 limited edition of the Milestone 2 are non-existent, but don’t let that put you off investigating this fully loaded Android mobile phone.”
