normal sms and call, can last 5-7 days.

extremel use, twice a day.

Wow...5-7 days is damn impresive for a smartphone......even for normal usage.
i been hearing milestone user get around 1 day for normal usage and less then 10 hours for extreme usage.
mean moto improve it for XT720....

Where did u noe the uk ver also 550mhz... u got link to prove it? As stated in my comment the motodev link show us its 720mhz.. what are u up to? Motorola itself say it was 720..

About the milestone... ur last sentence. . That model orginally come with 2.0.. the new batch only build in with android 2.1, u can see the keyboard not including voice button... so its will be an hardware issue. . We talk about new phone that come out at this area not the old one... haih
*
U want link? u got it, u want Prove? u got it.............go read up bro....is 550Mhz

UK XT720

Haha, I'm getting to exited about this
its cpu... I think just wait up for those sites to do a review after uk ver goes out... like gsmarena. .
All android sites say it 720mhz..
No offense now... sry.. just wait lor

actually i also so interested to know what are the different for Spore starhub set and europe set. before that i been doing reading but at last i give up(too many version come out), so i come to conclusion that even If UK Xt720 spec is different, i doubt it will be launch in spore as i dun think there will launch 2 same phone(except processor) in the same country. so i got my Xt720. one more strange thing is starhub mention they launch milestone XT(not XT720), but my phone BOX, phone clearly stat it is XT720.....motorola is making us confuse.....why cant they just launch one model for all country, except GSM and CDMA version.

knowing that all new products will have some kinda bugs, i would say the hardware has great potential, and there are definitely still roooooms for improvements in the ROM, i'm seeing some bugs here and there, but nothing major.. might have to watch the battery though.. i had mine running HSDPA/Wifi alternately when it's available all day long, and screen set to dimmest, and it's only good enough for a day-long of abuse.. so if u're not able to charge your phone on a daily basis, make sure u cut down the battery usage..

and also the confusion about UK set having 512mb of ram is over.. it's official in UK site, 512mb of rom, 256mb of ram, and it is running @ only 550Mhz for now..
so there is only ONE XT720, no UK set, no Asia set, no Singapore set. all same..

I've attached the original milestone screen protector, seems to fit nicely covering the screen, and the hole for speaker is exactly the same.. but it is not large enough to cover the mirror-like surface on the edges.. works much better with a matt surface.. the screen is really a finger print magnet..
*
i took off the screen protector after just 2 days of use.......reason:

1. if you set screen brightness to low(which i do for longer battery life), the visibility under sunlight is worst with the screen protector.

2. still will leave some finger mark on matt surface, more difficult to clean then the orginal glass.

3. the matt surface actually blured a little bit the screen, which i felt lower down my enjoyment of the superd screen.

4. because it doesnt cover the whole screen, the edge of the protector collect dust.

is it important?

i feel no diff with my desire as well for the speed.

yes, currently sometimes i felt the transition from screen to screen are not so smooth or have to wait a while, if clock speed faster this will be reduce. but for me, it is still bearable........depends on individual usage.

if you increase the clockspeed, then expect the battery life to be shorter..
heard of the original milestone going beyond 1Ghz, so i think the XT720 should have the same potential too.. but whether it's necessary, different story lah...
*
agreed on the battery life thing, but compare to my frs HTC desire which running at 1Ghz, my milestone xt720 battery life is just comparable to his desire. In my opinion, xt720 should have longer battery life since it running at 550mhz....

but as i mention, the speed of xt720 is still not annoying me, so no complain. i charge my phone everynight, so as long as battery life can last me from morning until night, i can accept.

conclusion, xt720 a great phone foe me........yeah!!!

AP price costs very high, because they provide the warranty service (u dont have to go to singapore) but if u happened to be able to go down there, I suggest u guys go and buy the phone from people who bought it with contract. u can easily save around rm500-600 if u do that. xt720 is an expensive phone, in SG its S$988 if u buy it without contract, in US its $599.
*
yes agreed, go to singapore, buy from othes ppl, or even some shop selling Starhub set without contract with cheap price, normally range from SGD550~600. but this shop normally wouldnt do warranty claim for you for free, you need to go direct to motorla SC in spore to warranty / software upgrade urself.

do you have anything that requires constant data connection running in the background?
large amount of data like downloading will kill the batt, and u will feel heat at the back of the phone.
wifi will kill the batt slower, and less heat... so use wifi whenever available biggrin.gif
my phone is connected to HSDPA 24/7 and it usually last me from 7am - 8pm before i need to charge it..
i would say usage is quite heavy (but not as heavy as downloading files) as i sync it to my office mail and my hotmail, and i do surf when i travel in train..
*
hmmm, i will try in weekend where i will have HSDPA access......
