good phone… but is it launched in india and what is its price??
35,000/- INR approx.
Motorola Milestone is available in India for 29,000/- after taxes.
Horrible phone….. Burnt my fingers buying this !!! To elaborate : All features are awesome and it Internet works pretty well, but this phone has some problem with BASIC VOICE CALLING. I bought a new milestone with bill from Croma in April this year and have faced the following issues —>
1) Lack of voice clairty
2) Constant disruption during voice calls – the damn phone goes blank for a couple of seconds during voice calls
3) Volume fluctuation/fading during voice calls.
It cant perform its basic function of talking without any encumbrances.
I truly regret my decision of buying a Motorola.
Hope my woes help others make informed choice whilst spending their hard earned money.
there is any mobile similar like motorola milestone but price should be less then Rs.15,000/-
Bhavesh – I am not sure whether you are aware of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone. It has a lot of features which even the newer phones don’t have. (3g, wi-fi, bluetooth,two cameras, bluetooth, handwriting recog, touch screen, speakers etc)
Overall, it is a average phone. Not perfect. And, in initial releases, camera had a noise problem.
So, check this phone out, if you like it, go ahead and buy..it is around Rs.13000-14000 or even less!
plz suggest me the better option between nokia N900 & motorola milestone.
N900 is available fr around 25k an milestone fr about 28k…..
N900 is bulky but nokia has a gud service in india..
i m confused….
please dont buy milestone for gods sake. it has software problems
I have been using the milestone for varied activities since April. I must say it’s got stellar performance an i have not had a single problem with the phone. Voice clarity is very good and internet surfing is still better. I would reccomend this phone to one and all.
I have been using this phone for almost a week now and its amazing. its one of the best I have had till now.
What’s the difference between Milestone and Milestone XT720, and the price difference? Which one should be bought?

Pathetic. Re-boots itself many times, hangs during calls, battery life doesn’t last more than 3 hours, if you use all the functionalities provided, the battery lasts for one hour. Terrible camera. Email client is not push and the email clients available in android market are buggy. I am now using it as a navigator ( the motonav) provided along with it. Avoid.
