Description

Motorola MILESTONE XT720 is an Android 2.1 smartphone, ready to take great images with its 8MP camera with Xenon flash. This really looks to be the most camera-centric Android handset to date, especially when you throw 720p HD video recording into the deal. Other than that, the Motorola MILESTONE XT720 seems to be a very good looking handset with characteristic design, large 3.7-inch, 480x854 resolution capacitive screen, HDMI interface, 3.5mm jack, and all other kinds of stuff.

This device is also known as Motorola MOTOROI XT720

Pros

Features a Xenon flash - better than a standard LED

Cons

Thick body (0.43 inches)

I want it 4 users

I have it 2 users

I had it 9 users

I will never buy another Motorola product

Posted: Aug 09, 2014, 10:14 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

I bought this back in 2011, and enjoyed it for a little then, but soon found the problems with reception, poor battery life, out-of-date OS, etc., so this is *not* a comparison of an old phone with newer ones. It's just a review that is three years overdue.
I should have realised it was crap about two weeks after I bought it, when it refused to wake from sleep mode, although fully charged, and I had to call my provider's tech support line. With very little delay, they told me to take out the battery and reinsert it after waiting for 60 seconds. Really? Seriously?

What I like

it also has an FM radio

What I don't like

very little memory (yes, 12GB on the micro SD, but you can't store any apps there with this version of Android)
poor battery
poor reception
fuzzy camera
Android version way out of date and cannot be upgraded
occasionally refuses to come out of sleep mode, although it is fully charged. only recourse is to yank out the battery, wait 60 seconds, reinstall the battery and then turn it on again. especially annoying if it's ringing at the time!

This phone is ok for everyday use if you don't play a lot of games. Its pretty laggy, taking pictures is a pain despite the quality. Pictures turn out badly in the dark, and the phone often crashes. Has a REALLY small system memory, only 30 MEGABYTES for you to use, and many apps can't be saved to the sd card.
