[MasterGamer201]

is motonav free?

[RyaanM123]

is there any way to turn off the green flashing light? i keep my phone on the bedside table next to my bed so i would find this rather annoying when trying to get to sleep. someone please reply :) ...

[jato757]

@RyaanM123 that is to let you have a missed call or text message, your notification light

[RyaanM123]

you can rotate the device without sliding out the keyboard :), on mine you can anyway. But I really can't see why anyone would want to type with it like that when there's a EXCELLENT physical keyboard to type with. It truly is a fantastic all rounder. Great price too - just £320 for Carphone Warehouse! :)

[MasterGamer201]

@RyaanM123 Also £289.99 from play.co.uk

Unlocked aswell :D

[Mrverylaggy]

Can i set the ring tone as a song ? And do i need to use the internet while playing downloaded games?

[joeymc2k8]

the bottom part is the microphone i think :)

[DirtyAssassin1]

[MegaFerrariLover]

[GaMiNgHeReTic]

OMG I live in MIlton Keynes you could see it in 9:48

[tumeet]

Hellppp Acer Liquid,Motorola milestone,blackberry curve 8510 Or HTC Legend....

[90aunder]

@tumeet htc desire!!! or get the samsung galaxy s - its the fastest one out so far :)

[MrSameerTaneja]

are you able to install non market place apps in this phone, as some of the newer android phones have banned this function

[locatedk]

I just want to say that it was a serious review. I have a suggestion. Since you review almost all the mobiles, I suggest you also compare similar features with other phones in same category. It helps viewers to make up their minds in selecting a product over another.

thanks again for the review.

[punketa32]

overall, is this a GOOD phone? because where I live its rather expensive so just wanted to know... before spending sll that money lol

[Jack6114]

Planning on buying one of these- Is there android 2.2 for this device?

[eddybayour]

@Jack6114 i think its milestone xt

[The89thGuardian]

Missed the reply to my comment. Thanks Maxlul2. I did take the plunge in the end. The default messaging app turns anything above 3 messages length into an mms (which is useless as it cost extra outside my contract) but a lovely app called Handcent is a great replaement. Up to 15 sms can be linked at once. All in all this phone is fantastic. You can't go wrong. FYI also. If you get it on T-mobile in the UK, the limit speed by default to 350kbps which is useless on a phone carrying 7.2mbps hsdpa.

[gWAPgUNNAZ]

NOKIA N900 FOR THE PWNAGE

[harjot619]

can we download browsers in it such as google chrome,safari etc

[hoangkieuco]

Will the menu and the home screen be in landscape mode when u're not opening the phone's keyboard? Please let me know cause i'm going to buy this baby next week...Thanks alot.

[kenzaki007]

hey, just asking can i change the wallpaper/background/theme?

[brocstarr]

can u use the milestone in north america?? im lookin to move on from the IPHONES and want a droid but dont want to pay the cancellation fee for AT&T in order to get a droid..

[nnnaaannnooo9]

faaa. ningun comentario en español... xD

[71tupo]

so, does the qwerty keyboard illuminate?

[MusicIan423]

did you press "type to compose" in landscape mode? it should pull up a landscape virtual keyboard

[800Snowflake008]

on the best buy flyer canada it says that it can take dvd quality videoes on it's 5mpx camera

[davidcoady87]

its cause of the slide out qwerty for the end the way it is designed so that when you are using the qwerty you can get a good grip of it

[Lawtsy15]

Time to get rid of my g1

[Jabbypants]

One thing when you install apps do they go on the phone or on the memory card, hero user here and this is one thing that bugs me, i know you can do apps 2 sd but you shouldn't have to it should do it automatically.

[The89thGuardian]

I'm looking to get a UK Milestone this week, but there's one last thing I have to know. Does anyone know if you can you link up to 10 sms's into one text message, or are you limited to the 160 characters per message (like my old crappy Viewty I binned)

[maxlul2]

yes you can link up to 10 sms (maybe even more) i wrote a message that was 4 messages long, probably you can go up to ten or more. keep in mind that i text with the handcent app (wich you can get at the market of course) you should totally get this phone, its AWESOME xD

[Athrial]

i have one for now 2weeks, and I'm completly satisfied

[grantalex31]

When is this phone available in the UK? and who will be selling it!!?

[dylanparrin]

I hope I win one of these :)!

[Kellychan2046]

can motorola think of something different from iphone? From the sliding start to most app, 90% is just similar to iphone.

[ManWich87]

motorola pretty much only made the hardware...everything else is standard Android 2.0 (Google among others)

[Bresoto]

Milenstone vs N900? whos better and why?

[config2000]

Android O/S - Many more quality (free) apps available.

The current Ovi store was disappointing for me

[NovaScene]

Milestone is better. N900 is just to fucking big to carry around. Milestone is the thinnes machine with slideout qwerty-keyboard on the market.

[Amebixfan]

n900 is better. its essentially a mobile computer

[Amebixfan]

They have the same processor, Milestone is underclocked though. But lets see you run Desktop applications on your Android phone. Oh wait, JAVA HAHAHAHAA

[Amebixfan]

You're comparing a prototype phone, to a market ready phone!!

Its mostly Maemo vs Android here, its all up to what you prefer. Maemo is a full desktop GNU/Linux operating system. Android is the best mobile operating system

[Amebixfan]

Nokia clearly says this is a device that enthusiasts should lay their hand on for developing purposes to pave the way for Maemo in the future. The first consumer Maemo device should be released this year, along with devices with the Open source Symbian filling in the lower end

[Amebixfan]

Its alright, but the fact everything is in Java really sucks. If it wasn't there'd be a hell of a lot more programs on Android than there is now

[Amebixfan]

Well its up to the person to determine what "apps" they like better. I find Maemo apps to be more feature rich and more fulfilling, plus I use Linux on my desktop, so having it on a mobile device is a great experience for me.

[TheCruiser93]

i Phone 3Gs - Thats it !!!

[glapi00]

The bottom part protrude for better mic reception when you're talking on the phone.

[eddybayour]

@glapi00 how do u noe?

[mclovin055]

Awesome phone!

[how2moto]

You can use the onscreen keyboard in landscape mode. Not sure why the reviewer said you cannot. If you are in landscape mode in a text entry field, the virtual keyboard pops right up.

[leodee]

I've already addressed this in earlier comments but the mistake I made when looking at this in the video was that I had the hardware keyboard open (as you can see) and with the keyboard open you cant use the on screen keyboard, which makes sense. Bare in mind that I only just got my hands on it when I recorded this!

[how2moto]

Thanks, leodee!

[Talos1996]

@leodee Can you or can you not use the touch-screen keyboard in landscape mode?

[dizefx]

@Talos1996 Yes, you can

[schstian]

poor lighting

[leodee]

Why? If I make the lights brighter you wont see the screen!

[schstian]

Well, when I watch videos of devices like this I like to see the device in as much detail as possible. If you need to set the lighting like this in order to make the screen visible to us, I suggest you use two different sets of lighting, one for a detailed view of the device itself and one for watching the screen!

BTW: Big fan and subscriber of your unboxings and reviews, in spite of what the previous comment might suggest.

[leodee]

You cant be that much of a fan else you would have seen that I actually have two Milestone videos. One with nice bright lights for you to see the device when I unboxed and toured the hardware and this one recorded in near darkness! :P

[schstian]

Obviosly I´ve got other things to do than sit around and watch your vids all day, and yes, I must have missed that one, and yes, I no longer consider my self a fan of you, so I guess you´re right after all.

Oh, and maybe you´d want to let people, like myself, that haven´t watched your other vid, know that you actually have a nother vid, showing the device in detail.

[leodee]

Dude, chill I was only messin with you!

I did mention in this video that it was a follow up to a previous one.

[wasryan]

The over hang in the bottom of the device is where the cellular radios are located. If they didn't do this design the device would be thicker.

[davomrmac]

Great review, thanks for posting it.

[lyber11]

HI!! can you do a review about the sony E. w995..because i want that phone and i want to know somethings about that!! the single review about w995 is from a russian i think..with a funny accent..so plz!! answe to me ok!! :)

[TheTechnoRat]

Bottom bit is where the radio for the phone is (I think)

[maslakpl]

can you remove the google search from the desktop ?

And is there a 8 or 16 gb micro sd included ? I guess you got it from expansys. Right ?

[leodee]

Mine had an 8GB card and NO I did not buy from eXpansys.

[Crescentarian]

Does the browser play other flash videos, other than youtube?

[anthonygrimmitt]

*sighs* taking criticism maketh the man

[leodee]

What?

[karimtahatube]

The step at the bottom holds all the antennas in ive been told.

[digitup1100]

I've been told it's just for better grip on the slide out keyboard.

[paul2020uk]

the 90's phoned can they have their Motorola Milestone back??

The design of this phone is just vile, great software though, shame on the design!

[MJGrindboy]

@paul2020uk The Hero is going to get the 2.0 update soon and its a much better looking phone. IMO

[lotsblocks]

i completely AGREE. i hate the droid and people only like it cause they think it beats the iphone. Which i dont think you can compare because the Os on the droid is availably on a number of phones in the us ( exclude the fact that it is 2.0)

[digitup1100]

so it's not as good as the iPhone because other phones use the same OS?

[lotsblocks]

Well put it this way. if a phone wants to become noticed they have to be unique and the droid really isnt. what is the wow factor of it. The wow factor is that it has android 2.0 which all android devices will be upgradable too soon. and alos the samsung moment is almost the same as this and the tmobile cliq.

[annavi13]

When he unlock the phone and open applications it's the same animation in the Iphone, because we like the smooth movements all make more like Iphone :D

[ilikeaple]

i kinda wanna get this cause i have tmobile. can u get 3g on tmobile usa?

[TheJakemp]

does this support multitouch

[Snowmation]

Yes it does, that's more or less the only real difference between it and US version (The Droid)....well not counting that this is a GSM phone and the Droid is CDMA.

[aeth0]

Yup. Not sure why it wasn't supported on the US Droid since it's not a patent issue. I'm thinking agreement between Google & Apple there.

[pobably911]

yeah thats where the antenna is because it wouldnt get as good of reception thru the metal in the back so they shoved it in the bottom

[jaj00RS]

They put the chin on because it's where to put the antennae to keep it thin.

[riskoish]

pretty cool, kinda chunky.. :PP

[Snowmation]

Its one of the thinnest slider full qwerty phones out there.....its far from chunky next to any device that has a slider keyboard.

[riskoish]

yeah, i guess ur right.

[TheScottishbrew]

nice
