			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I purchased Motorola Milestone yesterday, which is the official English version (in the sense that there is no traditional / simplified Chinese locale, but you can read Chinese and input Chinese using the &#8220;Moto input&#8221;).</p>
<p>I have been a T-mobile G1 owner and user for over 8 months.  I flashed my G1 with <a title="CyanogenMod" href="http://www.cyanogenmod.com/" target="_blank">CyanogenMod</a> (he is the best!), and considered myself as an &#8220;have-more-experience-than-a-newbie&#8221; user.</p>
<p>This is part 1 of my review of Milestone (Hong Kong verison).  I charged up the battery over-night, and haven&#8217;t got much time to test every feature of the phone.  So in this part 1 I will share some of my initial thoughts of Milestone.</p>
<p>You may find the detailed specification from <del datetime="2009-12-23T01:52:37+00:00">the European official website (the Hong Kong Motorola website hasn&#8217;t posted up anything about Milestone yet)</del> <ins datetime="2009-12-23T01:52:37+00:00"><a title="Motorola Milestone" href="http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/HK-ZH/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Mobile+Phones/Motorola-MILESTONE-HK-ZH" target="_blank">the Hong Kong official website</a></ins>, but here are some data / features which might not be disclosed there :-</p>
<ul>
<li>The phone is running firmware version 2.0 (there are reports that the camera has bugs, and the US equivalent Droid has already got patch version 2.0.1)</li>
<li>The available phone memory is 140MB (I only installed SMS Backup and updated Google Maps at that point)</li>
<li>Selectable locales/language are : English (UK and US), Spanish, French, Italian and German</li>
<li>It has ambient light sensor</li>
<li>It has settings regarding Credential storage on the SD card (I need to further explore that, it seems to be an Android 2.0 feature rather than Motorola&#8217;s)</li>
<li>It can sync with more than one google account.  I have a GAFYD account and several generic gmail/google accounts.  This may be of great help to me because some of the google services (e.g. google search history, google bookmarks) are not available to GAFYD accounts.</li>
<li>Further to the above, you may add more than one account to the Gmail application.  As I consolidate all my e-mail accounts to my GAFYD account, I am not going to test this feature.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Included Software</strong> :-</p>
<ul>
<li>There are 2 applications called &#8220;<strong>Corporate Calendar</strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>Corporate Directory</strong>&#8221; which seem to sync with Microsoft Exchange server.  I don&#8217;t use these and will not test them.</li>
<li>The <strong>Motonav</strong> application does not work, as there is no data included.   A written <a title="Scanned image of the Notice" href="http://ow.ly/i/e6l" target="_blank">notice</a> is included in the box informed you the same.</li>
<li>The included <strong>Google Maps</strong> is not the most updated one.  You may update it in Market.  The navigation feature is not enabled (unlike the US Droid).  I may try the <a title="Navigation Hack has been updated" href="http://www.2030.tk/navigation-hack-has-been-updated" target="_blank">hack</a> to see if it works with the Hong Kong Milestone.</li>
<li><strong>My Sign</strong> is a Motorola application allowing user to set touchscreen gesture to open applications.  The gestures reminds of the &#8220;graffiti&#8221; in PalmOS (the good old days &#8230;). I don&#8217;t find it very handy, as you have to open the My Sign app and then draw the gesture.</li>
<li><strong>Phone Portal</strong> is another Motorola application.  When you connect your phone via WIFI, it allows PCs of the same WIFI network to connect to the phone. I will test this later.</li>
<li>Of course, there is <strong>Moto Input</strong>, which allows input of traditional/simplified Chinese by handwriting and pinyin.  I haven&#8217;t tried it enough to pass judgment.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Battery life</strong></p>
<p>As I said before, I only put the phone on light use (a few SMS, downloaded 2 apps in Market, played with various features) this morning.  I switched it on at 8:00 a.m. and the Settings show the battery still has 70% after 4 hours 25 minutes. Remember, this is only after the first charge, the battery usually runs for longer lifespan after a few discharge-recharge cycles.</p>
<p>I am going to resume my review later.  If you want me to test any features, please leave a comment.</p>
