Comments on: Motorola Milestone (aka Droid) first impressions http://johnbiehler.com/2010/03/07/motorola-milestone-aka-droid-first-impressions/ Technology, mobile, photography and anything else I find interesting Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:50:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jon Jennings http://johnbiehler.com/2010/03/07/motorola-milestone-aka-droid-first-impressions/comment-page-1/#comment-68070 Jon Jennings Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:38:43 +0000 http://johnbiehler.com/?p=2889#comment-68070 Been waiting to see your first impressions. Haven't had a chance to hold one yet but yes... despite the dimensions being almost the same as the iPhone, somehow it looks a little overly elongated - and I wondered about those bottom buttons for one-handed operation. iPhone certainly seems to get good performance out of its (technically relatively mediocre) camera. I've heard similar comments about it out-performing higher-spec cameras on Nokias. Motorola website says you can sync media to it using the dock and USB cable. Not sure if they mean you MUST use the dock or just that using the dock makes it easier. I'm hoping it just appears as a drive and they're not expecting you to use proprietary software to do the syncing. That's ridiculous about the Android Marketplace - hadn't realized that before. Looking forward to more details. Been waiting to see your first impressions.

You're going to SXSW? Very jealous over here :) Amber was looking at an Android phone, but us being with Rogers the options weren’t that spectacular.
