Ldawn88 2nd Gear March 27, 2010 Share March 27, 2010 This handset is android based. cool handset. Very popular in the states when launched. Milestone uses the same software as Motorola Dext which I am using. So it integrates with facebook, twitters picasa etc nicely... if you are into social networking. It also lumps your office mails, webmails into a common mail box... cool. one more thing... unless you really like physical keyboard, then this will be a tap heavier... my Dext is already 163g... not sure how heavy is the Milestone.

Ldawn88 2nd Gear March 27, 2010 Share March 27, 2010 (edited) yeah, I love the Dext Keyboard from Motorola, the best so far... I had BlackBerry but found Motorola keyboard is better... dont know why. CNET has a detailed review of Milestone, which you may find useful for your decision: http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/mobilephones/...5120488p,00.htm It has a score of 8.3, same ad iPhone... CNET asia usually does not rate phones above 8. Edit for spelling. Edited March 27, 2010 by Ldawn88 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie47 1st Gear April 5, 2010 Share April 5, 2010 Its an Android. Androids use Google apps of which one of them is Google Maps. Of course you won't find Garmin in there. One thing I like about it is the syncing. Once I "STAR" a location on G Maps on my Android, it is STARRED on my Google Maps page. I get to a terminal with net access, I can edit the locale and make some notes of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My HD2 also have google map ontop on garmin.. Besides google map has quite a few missing roads. Was planning a road trip in australia and realise that when compared to garmin.

Ldawn88 2nd Gear April 6, 2010 Share April 6, 2010 Google maps for sg road are accurate. But alas, the turn by turn feature is only available for android 2.1. My phone is only android 1.5. My other windows mobile phone also not supported the turn by turn. Using map king on my windows mobile. My HD2 also have google map ontop on garmin.. Besides google map has quite a few missing roads.

My other windows mobile phone also not supported the turn by turn. Using map king on my windows mobile. Google map is only fairly accurate for roads a couple of year back... e.g Buankok drive East (N1 22.826 E103 54.257) which opened last year is not on the map. Bartley Viaduct (N1 20.560 E103 53.370) not on the map. SengKang West Way is now connected to Seng Kanf East way (N1 23.703 E103 53.085). It's broken on google map More recent the detour along Serangoon Rd at the junction of PIE, is updated on Malfree, not on google. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie47 1st Gear April 7, 2010 Share April 7, 2010 No it is a problem with most if not all Androids. The Android OS is more like some portable ultramobile PC OS. Even Acer has a netbook that dual boots with XP and Android. Of course you get all those Google apps. My advice? Root it and get Cyanogenmod. That's why a simple G1 like mine is running v2.1 King of long battery life? Nokia. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
