From wat i enquire around Milestone is @ rm 2100. Problem is its local warranty although the unit is imported.

I myself is under the dillema to either get it or not...

Any suggestions ?

Well that's just how AP is. When it comes to warranty it's a tough call. What AP dealer was it?

its really a normal pouch....
as for screen protector i dun think there is one yet unless u custom yourself ... as for me i am using the 1 which comes with the phone... ugly but still better than nothing




anyway good news is the market is working fine and i can download apps from it... quite a number of free apps...

HEY..im planning to get the phone too...
btw... yours is what warranty? AP set?? is yours sealed?? do you need to deposit or ready stock??
i saw thier pricing @ RM1999 ... but u bought @ RM2.1k??
Nice to know there's an owner of the milestone outthere now... the phone seems alien in Malaysia  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif

1999 is the price for registering a new line with them.
without registering its 2.1k

AP set.. sealed from Hong Kong ( AP supplier: PDA Gadgets.)
Just call them to order and usually takes 1 day or less to get the stock.

They don't have ready stock with them.

i wonder if someone clicked buy @ lelong how ah??? they cant be shipping the new registration line right?
Hong kong set somore  doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif  everything is chinese language on default??
btw.. AP warranty what company?? PDA gadgets is wat?
i wonder when the original set will come?? the Malaysia set i mean.. this is the 1st time buying a phone breaking my usual phone price record [more than RM1k O.O] ... and i dont want to get a RM2k phone that is not even orignal ....

dude no offense u sound like typical ah beng...

1)I am not sure cos never try.
2)Hong Kong unit it is all in english.
3)Please ask uncle Google... aka www.google.com or www.google.com.my...(( the AP supplier: PDA Gadgets.))
4)Everybody is waiting for Malaysia but i dunno when will that be too many dateline past.... And its gonna be more expensive than the current price.
5)AP its a original phone .... However the AP company import it from overseas and sell it locally.

Wizard,

How u update ur firmware ?? through OTA or Software updater
*
hi bro i updated mine via software updater, you should try.. there is a new equalizer widget in it. But one thing that got me dumbfold is when u access the calender it asked u to log into google =.=

Oh yea those who wants to use mp3 as an alarm ring tone.
just create a folder in the sd card called "notifications" and copy ur prefered song in it.
The standard alarm ring tones are too short

hmm any of you guys successfully disable the camera shutter sound ?. besides setting your phone to silent mode

what kind of comparison is that ==
Apple Iphone made in malaysia ??? whistling.gif  whistling.gif

Motorola products is technically made in china ?? cheap labour ?

its due to the tax and so on. Can't practically do anything unless u take a flight there and buy 1 yourself and next time you claim warranty just go HK.
for AP,
you can claim warranty locally but not @ HK.

which means Iphone is made in malaysia thats why Iphone here are standerd price againts Iphone in HK?? i dint know O.O

i thought Iphone were imported too... by anychance Milestone would be made in malaysia too when its available here?? LOLZ
Btw.. more feedback and reviews on your unit... since its HK unit... updating to android 2.1 would be any harder?? The GPS how issit actualy the exact standerd phone or theres something diff base on demographic..

and how does the MotoNav works?? the Turn by turn can be used in malaysia without internet conenction?

Updating from HK unit is practically easy just use your phone and run the system update. takes a while to download the 30.1mb patch
once it download finish everything is practically automatic. after 3-5 minutes of extracting and patching(done automatically) your milestone is up to the version of 2.0.1

or you guys can download it here
http://www.motorola.com.hk/eng/motoupdate/

Well for this i tried the Google Map to locate my location.. curious Google map not properly updated or otherwise. My location is always like few meters different from the exact location.



MotoNav didn't manage to try..
It keeps giving me the "Please insert your Motonav SD Card". Still finding a solution of this.
tried this but
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/...928.node0#89738
it doesn't work

it seems i accidentely delete the Motonav content in the sd card... need to find a way to get it back.

anyway motonav is free for the first 60 days then u need to pay...
