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.

One of the best improvements that Motorola has made is the 8 megapixel camera. It now comes with a xenon flash and autofocus feature, a much desired improvement over earlier models. The outward appearance has also been redesigned; the Motorola Milestone XT720 has a much more appealing, sleeker digital camera look to it than the old clunky Milestone. It can also capture video up to 720 x 480 pixels, which can be played back over any compatible HD TV using the built in DVI port.

The operating system for this phone is the Android 2.1, so you will be able to enjoy a huge array of apps, from the entire Google collection to the ever expanding world of the Android market. The XT720's high screen resolution makes it the perfect choice for viewing web pages, and the included browser makes this possible. This phone will also support the usual array of video and audio formats such as MP3, MPEG4, ACC, AAC, AMR and WMA. Though if you prefer to listen to your favorite radio station, there is also an FM radio. You will also find a 3.5 mm audio socket, which can be used with any pair of good headphones.
