The Motorola Milestone gets reviewed by the folks at Techradar. Head over to this post to read the review. The GSM variant of the Motorola DROID sports a dual-band 3G support for Europe and Asia. It runs on Google’s open-source Android OS 2.0 and packs a large 3.7-inch touchscreen, 5MP camera, microSDHC slot, Wi-Fi and GPS. It has a side-sliding design that allows for a four-row QWERTY keyboard.
The slick interface, the QWERTY keyboard, the premium build quality – all these things go into making the Milestone a decent phone. But it lets itself down at times by lacking any real differentiating features (apart from the cool phone portal) and that lip – well, the less said about it the better now.
We’d give the Milestone a B+, as it could try harder but the effort we’ve seen is hard to fault and if you picked this up and kept it in your pocket (providing its your phone) you wouldn’t be disappointed
When we say we have specifications, boy, do we mean it. One of our connects has sent us the full rundown on Motorla’s Opus One (their first iDEN Android handset) that we revealed a little while back. The features on the device are actually pretty reasonable, and we’d imagine it to sell for a reasonable attractive price-point at release. The Motorola Opus One will run Android 1.5 with iDEN service enhancements, make use of a “Zeus” CPU, and will feature a 3 megapixel autofocus camera.
