What You Need To Know About The Motorola Milestone XT720
The new Motorola Milestone XT720 is the company’s latest effort to revamp the Milestone model. One of the most noticeable features missing is the slide-out QWERTY keypad, which allowed the device to shave about 3mm off of its depth (though the other dimensions and weight remain about the same). While an addition of a QWERTY keyboard is a desired feature on some phones, it did not function all that well on the original Milestone, so it might actually be an improvement. The 1390 mAH battery will deliver an impressive thirteen days of standby time and an average 4.5 hours of talk time on a single charge.
The internal mechanics of the XT720 feature a 550 megahertz core processor with 256 megabytes of ram. Obviously, this is not on par with some of the more expensive smartphones, but compared to the phones of the past, this is an awesome little phone. It is cheaper than the Google Nexus One or the HTC Desire, but then with those phones you are getting a faster processor. For all of your communication needs, the Motorola Milestone XT720 will not slow you down!
Motorola did not make any changes with the display – using the same one offered in the original Motorola Milestone (a 3.7″ display of 852 x 480 pixels). The XT720 actually shines in this category, if compared with a much more expensive model like the HTC Desire. Even though the Milestone display is slightly less intense, it actually functions better in sunlight that the Desire’s OLED technology does and boasts a higher resolution.
The Motorola Milestone XT720 features a whopping 8 megapixel digital camera. There is an integrated Xenon flash and several picture taking options. This is one of the biggest changes to the Milestone which makes it a great camera phone for just about anyone. You can also make movies and short videos thanks to its operating software which are easily transferable to any format. You are definitely going to want to take pictures with this phone since your pictures will come out a lot clearer with higher resolution than any other smartphone out on the market.
Motorola uses the Android 2.1 for the XT720′s operating system, which lets the user tap into the impressive array of Android software and the continuously growing Google App marketplace. The high resolution display makes a great venue for web browsing, which is easier with their included, highly efficient browser. Users will not be disappointed with multimedia options either, which include an FM radio and support for a wide range of file types, like WMA, MPEG4, MP3, AMR, and AAC. In addition, the handy 3.5mm audio output allows the user to listen to their favorite tunes with any standard pair of headphones.
