The Milestone 2 By Motorola Offers The Full Package

With an updated version of the Android operating system, upgraded processor to 1GHz and a redesigned keyboard, the Motorola Milestone 2 offers a number of improvements over the original model.  Users are treated to the combination of a touchscreen and full slide out QWERTY keyboard, offering the best of both worlds.

To navigate the user interface as well as applications and internet browsing, there is a 3.7 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen.  It is highly responsive, thanks to the fast processor, and fantastic at displaying its onscreen imagery thanks to the ability to display up to 16 million colours within 480x 854 pixels.  Therefore, the Motorola Milestone 2 is an ideal phone for viewing photos and videos well as playing games or browsing the Internet.  People who send a lot of text messages and emails are sure to appreciate the fantastic slide out keyboard.  This has a full QWERTY layout, which means that users can quickly and efficiently input text with two thumbs rather than by the time consuming method of tapping away at the screen with one finger.  Should users prefer to use the touchscreen for their text entry method, they can take advantage of the innovative Swype system.  This allows users to slide their finger from one letter to the next without taking their finger off the screen.  The screen also comes with accelerometer and proximity sensors as standard and also supports multi-touch input.

8 GB of on board storage is provided as standard along with a microSD card slot which comes with a pre-installed memory card of 8 GB.  This can be replaced with a card of up to 32 GB should the need for more storage arise.  This means that users can potentially store thousands of files of various different formats within the handset.  The media player supports multiple music and video formats such as MP3 and MP4, whilst additional entertainment features include a number of pre-installed games along with access to a library of downloadable games.  The Android operating system comes with access to the Android Market which means users can download apps to their hearts content, meaning that they can personalise the handset to a high level, and add to its everyday functionality.  There are also social networking features aplenty with Facebook, Twitter and MySpace integration along with the standard package of Google features including Google search, maps, Gmail as well as YouTube integration.

The Motorola Milestone 2 is also a highly effective digital camera.  The 5 mega pixel offering located on the back of the handset operates at 2592x 1944 pixels and comes with a pre-installed features including Autofocus, image stabilisation and dual LED flash.  Thanks to built in GPS, geo-tagging is also available and keeps track of the location at which photos were taken.

A fantastic Internet browsing experience is assured with the Motorola Milestone 2.  A full HTML browser with flash support relies on an HSDPA connection in areas with 3G coverage.  A faster and more reliable connection can be achieved however, thanks to Wi-Fi connectivity.  This functions in locations where users have access to wireless networks, be they in commercial or domestic locations or in a public Wi-Fi zone.

The Motorola Milestone 2 offers the full package of features in terms of both hardware and software.  It is a complete handset which ticks all the boxes, and is likely to impress everyone from the business user to the social networking enthusiast.
