Motorola Milestone 2
While Motorola might have felt pretty happy actually release a phone again in Dexter, it was clearly not the handset to resume the mark. So step forward in Milestone (Droid to our U.S. users), the latest Android phone - but it may be Moto's largest?
The first thing you notice about the Motorola Milestone build quality - compare it with some Android phones out there and you will feel that it is much better than plastic options from some companies (including himself - it DEXT had an element of low quality about it).
The phone is significantly thinner than before, coming in at only 13.7mm thick, which is impressive when you realize that it packs a full QWERTY keyboard to hit as well.
Along with the sleek design, the phone has a decent weight on it - for us it hits the sweet spot of not being too heavy,Motorola Milestone 2 but weighty enough to add premium aura to the device
The decision to use gold decals are a little suspect though - it harks back to teeth-grindingly frustrating days of D & G-branded Motorola Razr, that does not add anything except too much gold to the device.Motorola Milestone 2 But it feels a little retro '80s ... we assume that's what kids are into these days.
But this phone is meant to be so much more than that - it has been extremely announced over the U.S. as the best Android phone thus far and the fastest, most up-to-date and nimble unit yet from Google crowd.
To this end, the latest version of Android (2.0) and a nice 3.7-inch screen to boot. The display is easy rival of HTC, which is a smart and responsive capacitive response with little slower when navigating through Milestone.
Motorola's new handset is a pretty basic affair, when searching from the front, with the four touch-sensitive buttons, the only idea that it is a phone. They are a little hieroglyphic-like in design, but it's something we see a lot of these days, and we think they work well when the lights touch-sensitive use.
The first thing a lot of people will notice when using the Milestone is the lip at the bottom - and we jiggered if we can figure out what it is. When sliding QWERTY keyboard open, it is quickly apparent that this gets in the way of writing when you hold the phone in two hands, Motorola Milestone 2so what Motorola makes that we do not know - we can only assume that there are some key hardware pinched there.
But we would rather that Motorola had just done Milestone a little bit thicker rather than adding on this extra chunk - it's a big, big downside for the phone and we can imagine it put a lot of people off buying the device.
QWERTY keyboard is a little cramped - think somewhere between the Nokia N900 (inclusive) and Palm Pre (cramped). Others, we asked to test the phone all said the keys were well spaced enough to beat,Motorola Milestone 2 but the lip came in the way of easy handling and therefore write.
The sliding action of the keyboard is pleasing, and once again continues premium feel - there is a nice click when fully extended. We are also happy to see a D-Pad and select key included - while touchscreens might be great for video and Internet, Motorola Milestone 2they can be very fiddly when you try to edit text, and D-Pad is a godsend in this case.
