But with a less stylish look about it.

The phone would look so much cleaner w/ rounded edges like the t-mo wing.
They left the ledge at the bottom just so providers can put a stupid Verizon logo on it? :-P

I have used this phone for a short while. This is gonna be my next phone, if the prices gets reduced. Its a super smart phone.

Style: Kinda ok, atleast much better then Google phone. The worst bit is the gold-ish square like thing next to the keyboard. It kill the whole design right away. No question about it.

Spec: Was the best for a few days, until the Google phone came yesterday.

Too bad that Moto didn't put a more decent CPU on it, may A9 or Tegra T20 (8 cores) or Tegra 2 perhaps. They can "stepdown" the clock speed for power saving, if that's what they concerned. Now the thing is running on slow motion ... is really too bad.

It's actually an advantage that this phone gives you the real Android interface.

Those animated 'skin' interfaces that manufacturers often put on their phones, such as Motorola Blue, HTC Sense, and Samsung TouchWiz, have so much animated eye-candy that it runs the battery down. Going back to the regular Android interface improves battery life.

Also important is that this handset achieves faster response times, with a 550MHz processor, than other phones that have a 1GHz processor. Faster is not always better in mobile phones, as those faster processors use more power, hence shorter battery life. The 550MHz processor in the Milestone is another reason why it is achieving the best battery life among modern smartphones.

I think the Milestone is the best smartphone on the market at this time.

"Motorola has gone on record in claiming the Milestone is the thinnest handset with a full Qwerty slide out keyboard around today."

"We found the keyboard to be a tad awkward to use, whilst preferring the touchscreen and the improved virtual keyboard of Android 2.0"

its like a brick, weights a ton, the slide keybord is useless and etc etc...

I ve tested this phone and is one of the worst SmartPhones ive ever tested...
The worst ive tested is the BlackBerry 8300, but at least it doesnt look and feel like a brick.
