Motorola Milestone XT720 review

Motorola has had a period in the doldrums, but has resurfaced recently with its Android toting Milestone and Dext handsets. Now there’s another new entrant, the Milestone XT720. Is this another upward step for Motorola in its return to top form?

The Milestone XT720 certainly has the specifications side of things nailed down nicely. Android 2.1, 8-megapixel camera with Xenon flash and 720p video recording, 3.7-inch 480x854 pixel capacitive touchscreen, Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS.

And it even sports the latest must-have to complement its 720p video recording – a miniature HDMI port and the cable for sending your photos, video and other content to a larger screen. Sounds like the important bases are all covered, then.

But this isn’t what grabs the attention when the Milestone XT720 first comes out of its box. No, that is the overall size and weight of this smartphone. And its odd shape. Overall the Milestone XT720 measures 116x61x11mm and it weighs 160g. It has a very odd curve on the bottom right of the shell whose reason for existence we can’t fathom.
