The Official Motorola Milestone Thread

Hells yeah - that's just sweetened the deal :D

I was gonna shift my Wii and get a 360, but I may just divert the funds towards a new phone... ;)

[edit] But what the heck is that disgusting iClone in the 2nd picture?! :eek:

Yes but from the whole Pentium 4 vs AMD thing, we know clearly that MHz does not always equal performance. I have a 2.66GHz processor in my PC which is faster than the 3.8GHz processor in my old PC...

Yeah, except the cpus in both the Milestone and the Nexus one are ARMv7 cores, so the faster one is likely to have higher performance.
 

And? ARMv7 is an instruction set and architecture. ARM Cortex A8 is a SoC the core is a reference design ARMv7 the same one ARM licensed to everyone else, if anything the Qualcomm core will be even faster at the same speeds due to any modifications they've done.
I'm not saying the Milestone is bad, but the CPU of the Nexus One is significantly more powerful, it's just this extra performance isn't currently apparent.
 
Does the Nexus One also include the 430MHz TMS320 C64x DSP (Digital signal processor) + ISP (Image Signal Processor) featured in the Milestone or is that integrated in the Snapdragon?
 
Starts off quite poor, 6/7 hours of med/heavy use but improves a lot after a week or two. I now get a full day of charge with the same usage.

The snapdragon has a 600Mhz DSP and I've no idea what processor they are using for the camera, both have integrated GPUs, the OMAP3430 has a PowerVR core and the Snapdragon an AMD z430. I think the OMAP GPU runs at core speed, no idea how fast the z430 is.
 
Argh, my contract is up for renewal in march. Currently have a 5800 (sold the n95 8gb i got the contract with) I still undecided what to get. I want a phone for playing music and satnav in the car (at the same time, the 5800 does this fine, lowers the music volume when directions are given).

Seems the nexus one is the next big thing. IM stuck between nexus one, milestone or the htc bravo. Is there a decent satnav app (i use garmin xt) on andriod that actually uses agps and not data?

The Bravo and the Nexus One appear to be identical in specs, the only difference being HTC's SenseUI. The Milestone is a little slower (although as said, probubly not anything to worry abotu unless you plan on runnign 4 million apps at the same time) and has a slide out keyboard. In terms of devices they are all very similar, you just going to end up in the same situation as me, deciding n personal preference. Trouble is, without holding the devices, its hard to judge. Although 2.1 on the Milestone may have just confirmed it for me :)
 
Nexus One can shove it! *Hugs milestone physical keyboard, with it's "buttons"*

The only part of the "Nexus" i'd want on my Milestone is the 512MiB of ram. :(

Urm...no thats not true. The Bravo H/W is slightly better....

Only 720p video recording is the real difference, besides the obvious cosmetic ones.

Nexus is fugly though and has that stupid protruding camera on the back.

*hugs Milestone*
