Motorola MILESTONE review: Hello Droid

Android devices come from all walks of life but rarely do they carry as much baggage as the MILESTONE. Motorola seem to be betting the farm with the MILESTONE and the warm reception it’s getting must leave them breathing a sigh of relief. Catching the Android wave may’ve seemed like the last available move but a device like the MILESTONE makes turning the tide much more likely. So, Motorola are back with a bang and the MILESTONE is one of the best spec’d phones to ever run Android. The Google Nexus One is supposed to instill fear in nearly every touchscreen device out there but the Moto Droid must be positioned well enough by now to withstand the attack. There’s hardly anything missing on the Motorola MILESTONE spec sheet so we should be ready for an exciting ride. The test-drive got us impressed: at the end of our preview we felt positive about the MILESTONE prospects. So now, the Moto DROID has a full review ahead to build on that good impression. Considering the rate of its sales, the handset is doing well from a user point of view too. Yet, a short-lived success is just not good enough for Motorola: the company doesn’t have the resources to come up with an equally talented successor as quick as some of the competitors.

Product Survey: Mobiles & Smartphones

With a high resolution capitative touchscreen display that supports multitouch, a full-size slide-out keyboard, a 5 Megapixel camera and a web browser that has already proved itself elsewher, the Milestone has just about everything we're looking for in a smartphone today. But so much for the theory: what's it like in practice? The Milestone has a vintage style to it that you'll either love or loathe. Its sleek black exterior is all sharp angles, with a few touches of copper-coloured trim--just a tiny bit kitsch that--and it looks either elegant or formal, depending on your point of view. Despite its slide-out keyboard, the Milestone is still pretty thin (thinner than the Dext for instance), even if can't hide its 165 g weight from the scales, or from your pocket for that matter. Being a heavyweight doesn't ruin the build quality of the handset at all: there's no give at all between the screen and the keyboard when it's closed. On the other hand, when we opened it for the first time, we were surprised to see that the keyboard didn't slide out as quickly and easily as we'd exoected, and you can feel a little friction as it moves. It's nothing too irritating, and there's a perfectly reason for it: the keyboard needs to move perfectly into place hundreds and hundreds of times.

Motorola MILESTONE preview: First look

Motorola must have enjoyed the feel of ropes against their back. There's no other explanation for the MILESTONE. They obviously needed to be pushed against the ropes to remember what made them the world's largest manufacturer. It's been a long road for them, with plenty of milestones. But that last one marks the end of a particularly steep downhill stretch. We haven't seen an Android phone generate so much hype since... the first one, the T-Mobile G1. The Motorola MILESTONE seems to be the powerhouse that the Android family needed and obviously many customers were looking forward to. The first Android 2.0 handset oozes with power. It's a milestone for Motorola, but perhaps for Android too: we're certainly looking at the most complete all-round device to ever do the droid walk. Given the huge potential of the platform, it's no wonder Motorola and the MILESTONE are enjoying this kind of interest. Yet, there are quite a few new droids waiting around the corner so being the best is one thing but staying the best takes quite a push. There is little evidence to suggest that Motorola will come up with a successor any time soon, so the MILESTONE better open a gap on competitors or it won't be in the same league as the handsets to come in the first half of next year.

Motorola Droid Review

The Motorola Droid, which we review, gives anti-Apple users, and Verizon a phone to be proud of. Each new Android smartphone seems to improve on its predecessors. But Motorola's latest, the Droid from Verizon Wireless, is a veritable quantum leap well beyond recent peers such as the Samsung Moment and the HTC Hero, both from Sprint - and even the Motorola Cliq (available on T-Mobile). Thank three advantages that the Droid possesses over all other previous Android phones: Its gorgeous 400,000-pixel 16×9 3.7-inch LCD touchscreen, the largest available on a cell phone; the handset's status as the first to run the Android 2.0 operating system; and its pedigree as the first Android phone for Verizon, which arguably operates the nation's best 3G network. However, the Droid's superiority over recent rivals surpasses mere technical comparisons alone. This is one of the most solidly-built smartphones available, featuring a stolidity that lends it a gravitas lacking in all but the most boring BlackBerrys, yet belies the mobile handset's more playful side, which also makes a great impression. To put it simply, the Droid isn't the perfect choice for cell phone owners, but as iPhone alternatives go, it's pretty darn close.

Motorola DROID Does? A Deep Dive Look

There's no denying that the Motorola DROID is receiving a lot of hype. Not only is this phone a big deal for Motorola, who has struggled to produce widely successful handsets since the famous RAZR flip phone, but the DROID is also the first handset that will be released as part of a partnership between Google and Verizon. Combine this with the fact that the Motorola DROID has been called Verizon's "iPhone killer" and you can see why there's so much buzz surrounding this smartphone. The Motorola DROID has a lot of interesting and cool features that will make it a item, including Android 2.0, the latest version of the open-source Google operating system. The DROID also has a high-resolution screen, plenty of customization options, and a thin design along with a full QWERTY keyboard. For some users, the fact that the DROID is on Verizon's network will also be a key factor to consider. Depending on where you live, Verizon may provide some of the best coverage available. Since Verizon's entire network offers 3G coverage, one definite benefit is that whenever you're in a covered area, you'll also have a high-speed data connection. As Verizon has pointed out in recent commercials, AT&T hasn't fully upgraded its network to 3G.

Motorola Droid

It’s the first device in Verizon Wireless’ lineup in a long time that we would call cool. And that means a lot, especially since it seems as though the carrier’s customers have been whining (and rightfully so) for the two-plus years the iPhone has been available. The Droid from Motorola is not only a cut above the BlackBerry Storm2, but every other Android phone in terms of its rock-solid design and speed. The 3.7-inch display is positively huge, and for the first time on any smart phone you get free turn-by-turn GPS navigation. Plus, with the new Android 2.0 OS under the hood, you can reach out to contacts any way you like (phone, text, e-mail, Facebook) with a tap. The Droid is not for everyone. It will be too hefty for some, and its hardware keyboard is a bit cramped for rapid text entry. Nevertheless, the Motorola Droid is hip, powerful, and smart, making it our top smart phone pick for Verizon Wireless. From its scratch resistant glass display to its metal chassis, the black Droid looks and feels the part of a luxury handset. It measures 4.6 x 2.4 x 0.5 inches, which is thinner but longer than the BlackBerry Storm2 (4.4 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches) and a hair longer than the iPhone 3GS (4.5 x 2.4 x 0.5 inches), but just as thick.

Motorola Droid

The first Android 2.0 phone impresses with a strong suite of Web features and a stunning 3.7-inch display, but some users might have trouble with the shallow keyboard. The first time you pick up the Motorola Droid ($200 with a two-year contract from Verizon; price as of 10/28/09), you'll notice its solid feel and heft--there's a lot going on behind the crisp, 3.7-inch touchscreen. Making good use of Android 2.0's new features, the Droid is a powerful Web surfing and communications tool that has a chance of living up to its hype. The Droid's biggest flaw, however, is in its hardware design: The keyboard is shallow and flat, which can make typing uncomfortable. At 0.54 inch thick, the Droid is slightly beefier than the 0.48-inch-thick iPhone 3GS, but it still has room for a 40-key, slide-out QWERTY keypad. At just under 6 ounces, it's about an ounce heftier than the iPhone 3GS. When closed, the 4.56-by-2.36-inch Droid is almost the same size as the 4.5-by-2.4-inch iPhone 3GS. Motorola is quick to point out that the Droid's 480-by-854-pixel display offers 409,920 pixels, more than double the 153,600 pixels that the 480-by-320-pixel, 3.5-inch screen on the iPhone 3GS offers.

Motorola Droid

You have to hand it to Verizon Wireless. Though the Google Android operating system now extends to a handful of devices, the carrier was able to get the tech world "excited" about its first Android phone. First known as the Sholes, the Motorola Droid swirled into the gadget rumor mill this summer. And even as Verizon unveiled its television commercial attacking the iPhone, firm details on the Droid remained few and far between. That is, until now. Officially announced today and set for a November 6 release, the Droid delivers on much of the hype. The display is gorgeous, the Android 2.0 updates are excellent, and the handset is lightning fast particularly for an Android phone. We'll refrain from using the dreaded "iPhone killer" expression, but comparisons between the two devices are obvious, and we see the Droid as a real competitor to Apple's device. On the downside, we weren't crazy about the keyboard and dialpad accessibility, the calendars aren't fully integrated, and we'd prefer to see dual-mode (GSM/CDMA) capability. But for Verizon's first pass at Android, the Droid more than delivers.
