Motorola Milestone XT720

This camera-centric smartphone is a bit long in the tooth but still worth considering.

High resolution display, Camera beats competition, Xenon flash

Plastic screen, Uses older version of Android, Sluggish processor

The Milestone impressed us, can its successor compete with the HTC Desire and iPhone 4?

Motorola Milestone XT720 review

Is there more to the Motorola Milestone XT720 than 720p video recording?

Great high-res screen ; Super camera ; FM radio works (just) without a headset attached ; Good Home screen for in car use

720p video is jerky ; Web browser doesn't reflow text ; Lacking sparkle overall ; Sometimes tricky to see the screen outdoors

We've been waiting for the Motorola Milestone XT720 for absolutely ages. When we looked at the Motoroi back in February, we said it was launching in Korea and destined to come to Europe.

Motorola Milestone XT720

First there was the Motorola Milestone (or Droid as it was known in the US), but what if you didn't like a slideout keyboard? What if you wanted a touchscreen interface, but still wanted to stay Moto friendly? Had the Milestone XT720 packed a...

3.7-inch screen, android 2.1, 8-megapixel camera, HDMI out, FM radio

550Mhz not 1Ghz processor, Design not as complete as it could be,

Had the Milestone XT720 packed a Snapdragon 1Ghz processor inside rather than the 550Mhz offering, this review would have ended very differently.

Motorola Milestone XT720 review

Great battery life and a large touchscreen don't often come in the same package, but the 720p video capture is disappointing and you'll need to buy a memory card.

Motorola Milestone XT720 (unlocked) review

The Motorola Milestone XT720 is the next-gen model of the original Milestone--the GSM version of the Motorola Droid . This time around, Moto ditched the slide-out keyboard to give the XT720 a sleeker design, and made other improvements, such as an...

The Motorola Milestone XT720 features a sleek design and an 8-megapixel camera with HD video capture. The Android 2.1 device also offers the full gamut of wireless options.

The Milestone is sluggish at times. The camera has shutter lag, and picture quality could be better.

The Motorola Milestone XT720 is a full-featured and sleek Android smartphone, but it's rather underwhelming in the performance department.

Motorola Milestone XT720 Review

Motorola's follow-up to the Milestone has been a long time coming. Rocking an HD-shooting camera, a high-res 3.7-inch screen and having done away with the slide-out Qwerty, many see this as the company's…

Motorola Milestone XT720 review -

The Xenon flash enables the Milestone XT720 to take some cracking photos, even in relative darkness

The processor struggle to cope with the array of features, leading to a lethargic experience

Motorola Milestone XT720 review

The Milestone XT720 is one of Motorola's flagship Android devices, running on version 2.1 of the operating system and coming with some impressive hardware specifications.

Great screen; good camera; useful business apps; HD output

Disappointing battery life; dropped calls; keyboard could be better

Priced at just £330 SIM-free, the Milestone is a good alternative to more expensive handsets such as the iPhone. This could be just the ticket for those looking for a powerful Android multimedia device.
