Description

Motorola Milestone XT720 makes its debut in the market following the lackluster performance of the Milestone handset in the UK when compared to the passionate reception in the US for its twin product, the Droid. The unit currently entering the market is essentially Milestone 2 and the company has learned from the dissatisfaction voiced about the original device and addressed all of those issues. The Motorola XT720 has eliminated the keyboard, upgraded the Motoblur functionality, upgraded to an 8-megapixel camera and enhanced the device with a 720MHz processor.

The redesign of the device has given it a more masculine appearance likely to appealing to men more than women as it calls to mind a digital camera more than a conventional phone handset. The standard menu, search, home and back buttons are below the display in the usual position found in the majority of Android handsets. The 8-megapixel camera, which is actually a suitable substitute for an economical digital camera, is a cut above the camera found in most phones.

The 3.7-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen offers a 480 X 854 resolution, and the built-in 512MB of memory can be expanded to up to 8GB with the addition of a microSD card. The performance is acceptable with an Android 2.1 operating system, and there are no noticeable operating hiccups to date. Both the Google Nexus One and the HTC Desire have a faster processor than the Motorola XT 720, but this devices weighs just 160 grams and Motorola’s efforts have resulted in a sold design with minimal lag.

While quoted as providing a maximum 13 day standby time and up to 4.5 hours of talk time from the 1390 mAh battery, this is an operating system needing frequent recharging as experienced Android users have found. The phone can be conveniently charged while you are at your desk through use of the available optional Multimedia Station. The standard multimedia formats supported are MP3, AMR, MPEG4, AAC, WMA and ACC files. The Milestone XT720 also sports an FM radio and a 3.5mm audio socket.

Some people will still be wondering if the Motorola Milestone XT720 is worth purchasing. The answer depends on the size of your budget. The Motorola XT720 does not offer the same features and design as the Google Nexus One or the HTC Desire, which many tech-savvy users might prefer. However, if you have more concern about your budget, the Motorola Milestone XT720 is an appropriate and affordably priced alternative to more expensive choices.
