Good: Keyboard, Android, some aspects of Motoblur

Bad: Occasional lag

Comment: I very rarely have little to say in the way of negatives but I do struggle with this one. The Milestone 2 is simply the best phone I've ever owned (although admittedly my previous phones haven't been spectacular by anyone's standards). It's running the solid Android OS with a reliable camera and simply excellent keyboard. Even sliding the thing up still provides a sense of tactile satisfaction. It's also been very scratch resistant. I've not been trying very hard to keep them away but I've had it for 9 months now with only one barely noticable scratch over the proximity sensor on the front. I also love the styling despite what other reviews/people may say. I love the functionality and the fact it's not the standard black but a dark teal, more on the side of blue.

There are negatives though, and it's not as fast as you'd imagine. I suppose this is due to Motoblur but it's almost a price worth paying. I've always found the android standard interface to be a bit ungainly and unintuitive which Motoblur corrects very well. being able to completely redesign the home screen when I get bored of it is fantastic.

Oh, and the battery life is great. I only need to charge it once every 2 days minimum which beats the iPhone and HTC owning friends of mine by quite a bit

Good: Android OS, slide out keyboard, power featured

Bad: very large keyboard, Poor battery life

Comment: Motorola Milestone 2 is one of the good Android phones powered with the new technology. It has Motoblur features with platter of some social networking features like facebook and twitter as well. It is using the fresh Android 2.2 version that makes it function fast.

The bad thing about the device is that some times it works slightly slow. It has 1GHz processor but it is not as much fast. It is having a full QWERTY keyboard that is slightly big. It is not much comfortable to use. The device is lighter, sober and attractive. Overall it is providing some tempting features with a favor of Motoblur.

I want it

Good: Android works very well, nice store and great user interface

Bad: Keyboard is slightly large; you get used to it.

Comment: The Motorola Milestone is a really well priced handset in the UK, with it starting free from only £20 per month. Unfortunately, only one store in the UK actually stock this device (Carphone warehouse). This phone has an awful lot going for it, with a large, sensitive and reasonably high resolution touch screen, effective slide out keyboard and a 5mp camera with LED flash. Also app-wise, the Android store is very useful for free and for paid apps. Although the Android store does not feature the range of the apps which the apple store has, it is still a good start!

This device is superb for anyone looking for a feature rich, top end smart phone for an affordable price.

I own it
