Motorola Milestone still in daily use
It has been four months since I got my Milestone/Droid, and I am still using it daily, well most days. It is not as if I haven’t played with other phones over the past four months, but I keep going back to the Milestone. It is just such a good all-round performer, with a large, beautiful, capacitive touch screen, fast processor, Android 2.1, and best of all a large qwerty keyboard. And Motorola has been good in providing regular firmware updates over the air. Only yesterday they announced that the Milestone will be getting Android 2.2 shortly. The Google Nexus One is the only other phone that has received the latest Android update to date.
My favourite Android apps used on the Milestone are ChompSMS, Twitdroid, WordPress (with which I update my blog directly from my phone), Scan2PDF (with which I can scan a document using the camera to PDF) and best of all Touchdown by Nitrodesk with which I sync my corporate emails, calendar, tasks and contacts. Touchdown syncs with pretty much any ExchangeServer, but I use it to sync with my company’s Lotus Notes server via Lotus Notes Traveler.
I saw the first local mention of the Milestone in the Sunday Times over the weekend, so South African consumers should be able to get a Milestone on contract soon. Go get one, you won’t be disappointed.
