Motorola Milestone – The First Motorola With Android 2.0
(http://www.mobiles.co.uk/motorola-milestone.html) is Motorola’s second
mobile phone to run on Android, and their first to run Android 2.0, known as
Eclair. This updated version of Android has an extended catalogue of
downloadable apps from the Android market and access to a range of Google
services such as Gmail and Google Maps. The camera improvements on the
Android 2.0 handsets have also helped to enhance photographic quality.
The touchscreen on the Motorola Milestone comes in at 3.7 inches, which
leads to a very clear display; in addition, the built-in accelerometer
automatically rotates the screen. The Milestone also boasts a full slide-out
QWERTY keyboard, which makes it more enjoyable and effortless to compose
messages and browse the web.
The Milestone, also referred to as the Droid in the US, can be used to
plan your journey and locate your current position with the built-in GPS
function (The range of other GPS phones can be found on
http://www.mobiles.co.uk/gps-mobile-phones.html). This is also the first
handset to come pre-installed with voice guided Google Maps. Included with
this service are a search engine to find addresses, Google Street View and
live traffic data.
HSDPA, also known as Mobile Broadband, offers higher speeds, meaning
applications can be opened in an instance, and pages load in no time.
The handset allows you to easily connect to a local wireless network in
order to access the internet. This is an effortless way to view your
favourite websites, check your latest emails and download files.
Users can view web pages exactly as they would appear on a PC directly
from the handset. Thanks to this feature, wherever you are, you can keep
up-to-date with weather reports or locate the nearest cinema.
The quality of the camera on the Milestone is also very impressive. With
5 megapixels, autofocus and a duel-LED flash, results are always outstanding.
There are many options once you have taken your photos: share them on sites
such as Flikr, upload them onto blogs or email them to share with your
friends.
Email Client allows users to access their personal emails directly from
the handset and send messages, photos etc to any account anywhere in the
world.
The Milestone is a close rival to established handsets including the HTC
HD2 (http://www.mobiles.co.uk/htc-touch-hd2.html) with its 4.2 inch
touchscreen and Android Mobile phones (
