The Motorola Milestone Boasts Android Technology

Released in November 2009, the Motorola Milestone certainly seems to have lived up to its namesake, for the manufacturer at least. It’s been a while since Motorola have released a handset which is truly groundbreaking. But that looks set to change with the Milestone. A powerful combination of features is housed in a functional but attractive handset.

Measuring 115.8x60x13.7mm the Milestone weighs in at 165g. Whilst not the lightest phone on the market, users are left with no doubts about the build quality. The 3.7” TFT capacitive touchscreen is capable of displaying up to 16million colours at 480×854 pixels. Navigation and text input options are not limited to the touchscreen as the Milestone also boasts a slide out full QWERTY keyboard. An accelerometer is installed which senses when the phone has been tilted and rotates the on screen image accordingly so it can be viewed in both portrait and landscape forms.

As well as vibration, users are alerted to incoming calls via ringing with the option to utilize MP3 and WAV music files as ringtones. A speakerphone is included with stereo speakers allowing hands free communication. A 3.5mm audio jack is provided so hands free kits can be used as well as headphones for listening to music.

Internal storage in the Milestone is 133MB with 256MB RAM. A microSD slot is included with 8GB, memory can be expanded to 32GB allowing plenty of storage for files. A whole host of connectivity options comes with the Milestone. These include GPRS and EDGE, both of which are class 12 versions. Internet access is provided via HSDPA at speeds of up to 10.2Mbps, as well as HSUPA at up to 5.76Mbps. WiFi access allows users to take advantage of various hotspots located around the country.

The Milestone is equipped with a camera boasting 5MP which operates at a pixel resolution of 2692×1944 pixels. This includes autofocus and dual-LED flash. It is also capable of recording video in D1 (720×480 pixels) at 24fps.

A range of music and video file formats are supported by the Milestone’s media player. These can easily be transferred to and from a computer by using the included microUSB port.

A wide range of additional features is also included. These include a digital compass, Adobe Flash Player v10.1 for viewing online video content, a document viewer, organiser, voice memo/dial and T9 predictive text input. Applications allowing direct access to several popular websites include Google search, maps and Gmail, as well as Youtube and Google Talk.

This range of powerful features require a powerful operating system and processor. Accordingly the Milestone is equipped with Android v2 (Eclair) operating system, and a powerful ARM Cortex A8 600MHz processor.

In conclusion, the Motorola Milestone offers everything a user could want from a mobile phone. Its powerful software as well as hardware means it is more than capable of taking up any challenge a mobile can face today.
