yea i confused with this one too...either 720mhz cpu 512mb ram or 600mhz 256mb ram..
some say only uk set have 720mhz 512mb, and sg/korea set 600mhz 256mb

If you familiar with nokia profile mode, mayb u can try to download a apps name "profiles" form the market. it resemble the profile setting from nokia. i'm using it and i think it's very good..

I think it's more of an Android thing rather than a Motorola thing.

Well, it doesn't matter whether is an Android thing or motorola thing, these 2 make a perfect couple.

Who say we need iPhone?? Android is the real king.

iphone spec is outdated

what make it nice r the brand name n the efficiency of the OS plus many apps available

Hi All,
my milestone can display chinese word, i can see sms from fren who type chinese, but when i replay in chinese sms they see nothing , Why? any one face this problem ? any si ful here can give some advice ?

Currently there are already 2 milestones available.

First the motorola milestone (With slide out keyboard)
Clock @ 600mhz
Ram @ 256mb

Second there is motorola milestone XT720 (No keyboard)
Clock @ 720mhz
Ram @ 512mb, but according to moto dev website, it states 256mb. Unless you find someone who has torn it apart, no one can really confirm it I guess since motorola understands and knows that android 2.1 only supports 256mb. And with droidX in the pipeline, android 2.2 release on the XT720 may not be the major concern for them. And although they probably will release 2.2 on the XT720, it will not be the flagship handset of their android line. This may be purely a marketing move on moto's part.

I hope this clears up any confusion.

I hope I can clear things up...

1. original milestone runs at 550mhz with 256mb ram
2. Milestone xt720 got 2 versions but I believe only 1 available at the moment, the one that runs at 550mhz with 256mb ram
3. There are news about europe version getting down spec from 720mhz/512mb to spec same as no.2

android 2.1 support only 256mb? Care to share where you get that from? Did you know that droid x runs on android 2.1?

It has 512mb built in, but it won't get all 512mb.
I am using galaxy S and it only detects 256mb.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html

It's the kernel that makes it so, not so much the OS version.
I only said 2.2 because it definitely comes with the kernel that supports high memory.

Yes, I do know that droidX runs on 2.1 at the moment, but this model is supposed to be their flagship model now and 2.2 upgrade looks to be in the pipeline for it as well since it has the added ram.

that's sux. knowing that your phone has more memory but you can't use it, apart from nexus one owners I guess. galaxy s is a very fast phone, seems like it's using the same cpu as the droid x.

I guess x10 owners would be very angry with this limitation, since the phone has 384mb ram.

err is this means that currently all phone with android 2.1 is not able to support >256 ram? or is it the kernel 2.6.29 version only?

i guess all android 2.1 phones.

kernel version only, but AFAIK only nexus one has updated kernel.

now more n more android phone will have internal memory which is more practical than memory card..

memory card is more practical. have u ever tried doing backup worth of 16gb of files? and not to mention the restore process as well...

stupid motorola did it again with locked bootloader chip

yes...u cant mod ur future motorola android

That page doesn't actually say that 2.1 supports up to 256mb of RAM only. The N1, Desire, X10, Evo etc all have 512mb RAM and I never heard/read anything regarding the lack of RAM.

Maybe it's Samsung's problem?

Probably you don't read all of the contents but efuse already existed even in droid and milestone. So far nothing happened to those phones.

We might not get custom firmware but root is possible.

There is a reason why motorola lock the bootloader. More people with custom firmware means higher risks of bricked phones, thus more warranty claims. I hate their decision on this but when you compare the ratio between users like us and mass market users like our uncles or sisters who are not going to explore the phone like we do, it's a better approach in term of business.

Just tried Rockplayer on my Milestone. Finally Divx, mkv and rmvb has been unleashed on our Android platform. Smooth as butter on the Milestone.

actually warranty is not the reason for motorola to lock the bootloader. coz once u root your phone, your warranty will be void. HTC n other android phone did not lock their phone, and i'm sure alot of those phone had been bricked but we don hear issue ppl complaining claiming warranty from HTC. coz for those that flash their rom, they know the risk.


wow... i'll try it out tonight... yes divx here i come!!

edit: it's in the market!! btw which version u download? i downloaded the following version
ARMV7 1.0.28 [Google Nexus One, HTC Desire Incredible EVO , Moto Milestone XT800, Droid Series,Acer Liquid, Samsung Galaxy S, Sony Ericsson X10 ,Dell Thunder Streak, LG LU2300 etc .]

but when i try to play very good quality file(h264), its not smooth... sad
