use vignette. Much better than stock camera.

Vignette has some nice features but crippled trial version and it hung on me a few times during use. Camera360 easy to use and allows full sized pix, only annoying ad screen at start-up.

Note for some others: free Skyfire browser app will probably be enough for you for most flash video sites. You won't get full screen but OK until we get 2.2 flash.

New Year, travelling with iPhoney friends. I was so jealous of their cameras taking beautiful pictures in dim night with/without flash. I didn't dare show my poor results when trying.

However, my night videos ranged from not-bad to great! Same lens, same hardware -- what gives????

@scpt

Is there a buried HW radio in the MS? Apps radios are already working fine in 2.1

erm maybe can bank in to me once we have reached more ppl that are interested ?
yes, USD. so around RM4 per piece. got crystal case and rubberized case also. all less than $2 per piece i think. and this is from trusted seller.

I still suspect problems with these -- overlapping the touch screen somebody said, and most of all, can we access the slide out QWERTY? I'm hoping you've got the solution I've been waiting a year for. My sack/pouch is clumsy, but no scratches, soft protection from drops so far, and can pull it out of tight jeans pocket effortlessly.

Did you notice any worsening of video quality? I saw a comment elsewhere that 2.2 video is totally unfocused.

2.1 video is better than photos, so don't want to lose this with 2.2.

Has Motorola cancelled the official upgrade to 2.2 or is it still "postponed" ?

laggy froyo from moto, use moto update manager (desktop) to update

I've been too busy enjoying the phone and missed it ?!?!

Hey, the Update manager says product not supported. I remember using this to update to 2.1

Next trying via http://192.168.16.2:8080 which at least opens to give a choice for UK 2.2, downloading.

Dunno why, I had to re-install Moto SW Update and re-register.

Whole thing took a long while but OK DONE, 2.2.1 !

I must be the last one in the neighbourhood to do this. blush.gif blush.gif blush.gif When was this first available?

OIC, I was traveling a lot then. Yup AP.

It is now working fine without reset. Is it necessary, won't it wipe out all apps and stored data?

After getting the 2.2 and moving everything to SD, now home screens a bit laggy or even hang a while. Is there something I shouldn't have moved to SD? Or have I just loaded too many apps into the phone?

Not rooted. I'll remember your note for future though JIC, thanks for tip. It helped great2bcool. Anyway I won't worry that I've broken something.

What is the highest capacity and class memory card our MS can take? I think classes 8-10 must be overkill, right?

Does choice matter if not rooted?

So the MS can access all 16GB? Any noticeable speed difference running 8 or 16 GB? Big cards in cameras usually cause annoying transfer lag.

....., nowadays not many moto milestone users left already, I believe some have upgraded their phone, how long do you think you will stick with this moto milestone? Hihi

New Razr priced about what I paid for Milestone :-(

However, I am quite attached to mine, used to its quirks and limitations, can live without the fastest and latest. I don't see enough pizzazz in the new models and I'm too cheapskate to to rush and dump out two grand. I'd pay even more if they built in a few more features: image projection, dual SIM, wimax or similar, 3D, flip option, xenon flash, after-shot refocusing, NFC, etc. so many technologies already available. I can wait a while longer.

What do you think, what's on your wish list?

my MS has screen problem oso

ghost touchscreen, i think of ribbon problem n d keypad is not so responsive.

Is the ribbon problem caused by opening the keyboard a lot?

Ironically I bought the MS for the keyboard but end up seldom using it now, although very handy at times.

What finally happened to your screen? Any solutions? Mine is starting to act funny. Recovers slightly if I turn off and on again.

It usually improves a bit after I lock-unlock the screen. If the kb is weird, I just use the slide out.

Someone on web suggests reformatting SD. Maybe I'll try a master reset too.

The current state of technology is not enough of a leap for me to dump another two grand yet. I can wait for something irrresistable.

Added on January 17, 2012, 9:21 pmGood day today -- reinstalled TouchPal keyboard and no screen blind spots so far.

I cannot find a keyboard calibration app; can anyone direct me?

oneeleven, have you done a touchscreen test?

Hi, thanks. Can't find it. BTW I'm using original Moto 2.2.1

Manage to live with the problem, using workarounds like voice dictation, slide out KB, spell check-predictor, etc.
but still a butt-hurt. Sometimes must use all three methods to get out one message shakehead.gif

Touchscreen test is an app on the market.
Why don't you try running CM7 on it?
*
Touchscreen Test just confirms that something is wrong.

If there is a hardware problem, would CM7 be able to remedy it?

I love my MS but is more than two years perfect performance too much to expect from phones nowadays? The average dump and buy new model rate is 18 months, according to surveys.
