The Motorola Milestone 2 Is An Appealing All Rounder by:Chris Westley

Motorola is soon to release the updated version of their popular Android smartphone

, the Motorola Milestone. Named simply the Motorola Milestone 2, this new and improved handset features some great upgrades ion its specifications.

The latest version of the Android OS (2.2 Froyo) makes an appearance, alongside a 1 GHz processor and 8 GB of internal storage making it a generally more powerful and capable all rounder than its highly impressive predecessor.

Users who prefer a physical QWERTY keyboard alongside a touchscreen are sure to be impressed with the Motorola Milestone 2. Offering the best of both worlds, the slide out QWERTY keyboard offers efficient text entry, whilst the 3.7 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen offers a great means of navigating the Motoblur UI. Another impressive feature of the screen is the Swype text input method. Should users choose to operate the on screen keyboard, for example if they only have one free hand, they can simply slide their fingertip from letter to letter without it leaving the screen. With a little practice, this feature can greatly improve text entry speeds. The screen also features accelerometer and proximity sensors as standard.

In order to alert users to calls and messages, both vibration and ringing are utilised, with the added bonus of assigning MP3 and WAV files as custom ringtones. A 3.5mm audio jack and a speakerphone system provide the means to carry out handsfree communication on the go.

A generous 8 GB of internal storage is provided as standard which is ample for storing most average sized digital music collections. An additional 8 GB is provided in the shape of a pre-installed memory card within the micro SD slot. This can however be replaced with a memory card of up to 32 GB giving the potential to gain 40 GB total storage.

Users of the Motorola Milestone 2 are assured of a great internet browsing experience, thanks to both HSDPA (in areas with 3G coverage) and Wi-Fi connections. The latter provides the fastest internet surfing, which is a breeze thanks to the built in web browsing software. Additional connectivity features include GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth and micro USB.

A handy 5 megapixel camera is built in, which gives an impressive photography experience, catering for both budding photographers and simply those who like to take spontaneous snapshots when out and about. This is thanks to its ease of use combined with a package of powerful features for image enhancement and manipulation. These include autofocus, dual LED flash, image stabilisation and geo-tagging which operates based on GPS.

The versatility of the Android platform means users can customise and expand to their hearts content. Access to the Android Market is provided to allow users to browse and download apps from loads of different categories, making the Motorola Milestone the ultimate all rounder, and a rival to many more established smartphone models.
