Motorola Milestone XT720 Review

The Motorola XT720 is one of the most anticipated phones to come out of the Motorola Corporation. After the huge success of the Motorola Droid, the Motorola XT720 follows up gracefully. Unlike the Droid, this phone has a complete touch system with impressive processing functionalities that are sure to pique the interests of heavy users.

The screen is beautifully set, and at 3.7 inches, the Motorola XT720 gives just the perfect display to its users. A vivid TFT capacitive touch screen with a display of 480x854 pixels greets anyone who uses this cell, and there is a large array of impressive features inside the phone as well. The phone does not have any external navigation control, which means that you must make do with the navigation controls located on the touch screen.

For many, this is quite an apprehensive factor, but for those who know how well Motorola have come up with their options, they would know that the responsive touch screen gives the perfect view. The phone has four dedicated touch buttons located below the screen, and a multi touch input method also gives a great option for many people.

Like all other touch phones, the Motorola XT720 also has an accelerometer sensor for auto rotating the User Interface, and a proximity sensor is also located for turning the phone off while not in use. The phone has a 3.5 mm audio jack for sound output, but the outstanding feature of the phone is its processing capabilities. The phone has an integrated 256 MB RAM with 512 MB Rom, which although might not sound as good as it should, is still quite enough for the phone’s processing capabilities. The phone has an ARM Cortex A8 720 MHZ processor, with a PowerVR SGX530 dedicated graphics processor. The dedicated graphics processor ensures that the phone does not fall off on any computing front, and you get all the functionality that you might require. An extremely responsive touch screen makes sure that the phone functions exactly on your touch, and the Motorola XT720 has turned up to be quite a rival for the Iphone. It has active noise cancellation with the dedicated microphone, and you also get support for third party applications. Furthermore, the Motorola XT720 makes use of the Android 2.1 Éclair, but also has support for Android 2.2 as well. The phone has T-DMB broadcasting, a dedicated HDMI port, a digital compass and anything else that you might require. The shape of the phone is also stylishly set up.

The impressive 8 MP camera allows you to take pictures of a resolution as high as 3264x2448 pixels, and it also has a LED flash as well as autofocus. The phone is only available in one color, which is Gentle Black; however there is a combination of silver on it as well on the front screen. Talk time is approximately 8h 40 min on a 3G downlink transmission, and around 9 hours on a 2G network.
