'The Motorola Milestone is an excellent smartphone and proof that 2010 will be the year of the iPhone alternative . '
'The phone is really good for listening to Rock, Metal and Classical music.'
'Milestone is a terrible name for a phone, especially when the handset in question is pretty hefty (165 grams): after the capital heavy, vowel-less fun of RAZR, PEBBL and DEXT (presumably BRCK didn’t make the cut as a potential name), it seems Motorola is taking itself very seriously indeed.'
'But more than that, the Milestone has been hailed as Motorola's comeback phone following the company’s recent shaky performance. '
'Our one big complaint about the phone: If you want to dial a number that's not in your address book, you have to open the screen first so that you can access the keyboard/dial pad, then close it again to use it as a phone--a really cumbersome setup.'
'We were actually quiet surprised with the Sidekick and its performance.'
'your phone might seem geeky, but we can't deny the ease and convenience of calling up tasks by barking out a quick command, rather than going through several layers of menus.'
'solid phone'
'The choice was difficult because other than this recurring problem the T-Mobile Dash (upgraded to Windows Mobile Standard v6) had been a near perfect converged handheld device for me.'
'the phone is solid and slick, although a little on the heavy side at 110 grams.'
'the phone does not stay steady in the hand.'
'It's slow, it has just a VGA camera, MP3s sound like they're being played back from a sarcophagus under a pyramid, and, well, just about everyone in a second class train compartment can now be segregated into Nokia 6600 users and some Reliance users.'
'A speakerphone is useful for hands-free calling when you're driving or multitasking.'
'Though BlackBerry devices have packed in phones for years, holding them up to your head has always felt and looked awkward.'
'It's often difficult to find the sweet spot for both the earpiece and microphone.'
'It's slender and slab-like, comfortable in the hand, with the usual full QWERTY keyboard and a bright 160-by-240 color screen that looks especially good in sunlight.'
