Motorola Milestone Review

The Motorola Milestone is a Google Android smartphone that is definitely comparable to the Apple iPhone. With this phone you get a large 3.7-inch display, which is great; these days, the bigger the display, the better. The design of this handset isn’t all that spectacular; it is square like, with little to make it stand out, aside from its large display. Fortunately, the packaging may be simple, but this is one mobile that will surprise you when it comes to features.

To accommodate a display this large it isn’t too surprising that the Motorola Milestone phone would be a little bigger than some smartphones; this handset measures 116 X 60 X 13.7mm and weighs about 169g. If you are looking for a mobile phone that is small and lightweight, this probably isn’t the phone for you, but if you want a large display, combined with a powerful smartphone, you’ll love this handset.

The touchscreen on the Motorola Milestone is very responsive and easy to use. The user interface of this Google Android phone offers three home screens that are completely customizable with the widgets of your choice; once you set up the Milestone it should be very simple to use.

When you buy Motorola Milestone mobile phone you get a device that gives you a variety of personal management tools, such as a calendar, email and more. The email support for this phone includes Microsoft Exchange synchronization, as well as POP3, and web based mail such as Gmail.

To keep in contact with your friends you get several tools, such as text messaging, as well as email, and easy access to social networking sites. Surfing the Internet with the Motorola Milestone is fast and easy as this handset comes with an improved web browser that now supports HTML5; web pages load fast and look great on this handset’s large display. Searching the web is simple with this Google Android mobile, you can either type in your search, or use Google Voice search to tell it what to search for.

Some additional features of the Motorola Milestone include a GPS system with Google Maps navigation, and for connectivity you get 3G, WiFi and more. To keep you entertained the Motorola Milestone phone comes with a media player that supports a variety of different file formats including MP3, AAC, AMR-NB, WAV, MIDI, and Windows Media Audio.

Of course the Motorola Milestone also comes equipped with a 5-megapixel camera that includes built in LED flash; this camera can also be used to record video as well. The Motorola Milestone UK version could be just the smartphone you have been looking for; it does have a few bugs but overall it’s a great mobile.
