I wouldn't even think of taking this phone on a night out in town tbh

I have my old K810i workhorse for that.

Quite a good hands on video if you ignore the dodgy accent

It also includes a live demo of the Motonav software which is really rather good.

Some sample videos and pictures on the link below.

Dudes,

What's the media player functionality like on this phone? I'm thinking about selling my iPod when I get my next phone... and I guess with Spotify Mobile there is even less reason to carry your entire music collection round with you!

Cheers,

Su

[edit] Also, my folks are heading to America this month - can it be had SIM free over there? And could it work out cheaper?

You'll only be able to get a Droid which will not work with UK networks.

Anyone know a good console gaming new widget?

Soulja · 4 Jan 2010 at 16:27

Guess not

Anyone know if a 3 SIM would work in these phones?

Sumanji · 4 Jan 2010 at 17:51

Oh is Droid CMDA only? No GSM compatibility at all?! That sucks

Soulja, I don't see why not?

Droid is exclusive to Verizon in the US so only CDMA.
It doesn't suck when the GSM Milestone had pinch to zoom unlike the Droid

By the time you add tax and shipping it will be the same price.

Skeeter · 4 Jan 2010 at 19:20

cant you get it for £50 on a £35/month TMobile contract? Cant get much cheaper than that.

Janesy B · 4 Jan 2010 at 19:35

If you buy the phone with a contract from T-Mobile on the £35 a month , the contract only comes in at £13 a month if you take away the cost of the phone sim-free. A slightly retarded way of looking at it I know but it is good value considering it's 'only' an 18 month contract.

Skeeter · 4 Jan 2010 at 19:47

You got a Milestone then Janesy? I thort you were like me, stalking round the phone forums yet undecided on what to buy!

Janesy B · 4 Jan 2010 at 19:56

Not yet, it would be silly to before the Nexus One announcement

If the Nexus one is given a firm date before March I'll wait, if it's a case of well it'll be sim free in Q2 and subsided when someone takes us up on it, I won't bother waiting. HD2 is out of the question, after my T-Mobile Pulse I'm smitten with Android.

Nexus One could be cool... might help drive down pricing on the Milestone as well!

Hmm... guess what I'm posting from.

Janesy B · 4 Jan 2010 at 20:22

I DEMAND PICTURES VIDEOS REVIEWS NOAW.

Any good?

Richdog · 4 Jan 2010 at 20:55

I will post a mini-review later, but there is plenty of info in this thread that people need to be reading, because I am not going to be re-typing answers to questions that have already been answered in this thread... I have better things to do with my finger energy.

But so far, awesome.

Skeeter · 4 Jan 2010 at 21:00

hows the keyboard?

Soulja · 4 Jan 2010 at 23:40

I find it really wasy to use. I like the little bumps and find it a pleasure to type with. It's so easy to brush your fingers across and type out words quickly and with no mistakes.
