Motorola Milestone XT883 - User Reviews

  • it has a 512 ram not 1gb as given in the specs here please change them

  • guys, i'm from indonesia. is this a dual standby gsm-cdma sim phone like the other one, xt882?or is it dual mode single on? if truly a dual sim standby gsm-cdma, i really want to know where can it be bought in indonesia, or anybody know any info regarding this massive phone? thanks..

  • motorola made great mobile phones. like Rzar.no one can bat for it. there is some mistakes. it mean other brands are not greatest. they also have some mistakes.all the android phones can take battery life only one day. but if u try select 2 mode (non using internet) auto matic brightness. then u can take battery 2 days or 1 1/2 days. galaxy s2 is same.it can run only 1 day with full brightness and some data browsing.

  • The galaxy s 2 is the best phone ever made. this milestone is nothing before it. Galaxy's screen is bigger than milestone. milestone has no NFC. it has dual core 1.2 ghz processor while milestone has 1 ghz processor. galaxy has more camera features than milestone. milestone is available in only one colour while galaxy is available 3 colours. the battery backup is far better in the s2 as compared to the milestone. galaxy is upgradable to ICS while milestone is not and there are many features which are in the s2 but not in the milestone and you say that milestone is better than galaxy s2. shame on you..!!

  • I'm usibg my favrit E6 till now, No problem till now from 2006. What about This Model???????

  • somebody tell me what the name of that game in the 3rd pic. looks nice :D

  • am I going to see this set in iran mobile market???????????? who knows ???

  • lovely phone

  • No gorilla glass?? No USB OTG?? No Smile/Face detection in main camera?? VGA front camera?? No Radio?? No Bluetooth v3?? Are you kidding.....how did this phone top the rating list??

  • Released: Brazil Batery: 1540 mAh Li Ion

  • In addition, the Milestone 3 in Hong Kong and Taiwan are GSM only, no CDMA.

  • Because any Galaxy doesn't work as a "phone" like Motorola phones in terms of voice quality.

  • Already released in Hong Kong about 3 weeks ago for around US$511, unlocked without contract.

  • I dont care

  • In case you didn't realize. It says for Chinese Market.

  • Does anyone know when this will finally be released in Australia ? It's been months since its announcement and I just wanted to know when that release day will come for us down under.

  • you can download radio in the market!

  • Will this phone be available in Induia with required service support and proper documents. If yes, where and at what price.

  • gotta have a look at it myself ;-)

  • very good Phone , very elegant phone

  • Follow link from Motorola/Brasil with the Milestone 3 specifications:

  • and radio??? milestone never has a radio????

  • this phone is ok but nokia socks!

  • whattttt????!!!!!! compare n97 with this phone?? @.@

  • this phone socks! Nokia raks.. i love mya n97

  • I am desperately waiting for this Mobile Phone.. I love it..

  • I am desperately waiting for this Phone. I live it.

  • because it is a better phone than Galaxy s2

  • Hey Motorola! Why can't you give us more colour of the same phone like others? Milestone 3 in white, sylver and blue colours please. The same for Atrix and so on and you will see the result

  • Maybe I'm missing something! Can someone please explain why this phone Motorola Milestone XT883 has an average rating of 9.4 while the Samsung I927 Galaxy S II has an average rating of 7.6. why?

  • Hey Adam, Thanks again for the info and all the help. I'm actually still smartphone-less as I raised the issue of waiting a little longer for the Milestone 3 and not much has happened yet. I'll have a think about importing the Droid 3 after going through phone plans and sway the pros my way. (Yes, sadly I don't make the final decision.) The physical look of it is slightly different to the M3 which is what I prefer, but that's not much of a problem. How are you finding the Droid 3? I'm betting it's pretty damn amazing. Cheers.

  • Hey again fellow Aussie. You've probably already got the Milestone 2 by now, but the Droid 3 is available for importing over in Australia. If you search for the Droid 3 on this site, and then click the first link under 'Check prices', you'll find the site it's available from. I went and purchased one recently from that site, but from the sounds of it, the Milestone 2 is probably the way you went. Either way, hope you're enjoying your new phone man.

  • Uh, if you think its so easy, then you try to produce a phone like that by yourself.

  • Hope it comes to Brazilian lands :>! Nice phone *.*!!!

  • XT883 is a CDMA phone with UIM card slot which is specific to China market. Most phone outside China are GSM with SIM card slot or CDMA without any card slot. XT883 uses CDMA while requires a UIM card slot, hence only useful in China.

  • Why the Chinese market only?? Something really strange .. Even the Middle East want and strongly requested.

  • Finally! A proper phone! Hope they hurry up and release it, my HTC is dying. Why has it been SO difficult to produce a phone with a decent qwerty keyboard, decent browsing, decent camera, GPS and adobe flash support before now?? These are the BASIC REQUIREMENTS of a modern day phone Mr Manufacturers!! Get with the program like this phone has.

  • the phone colours are not too sharp, but the look of phone is very handsome.

  • Thanks again for the info Adam. The extra row for digits is definitely much more convenient, considering it is a phone. I really do want to wait it out, though the deals on the M2 is making it seem more unlikely and I'm not the one making the final decision which is unfortunate. Any idea how much the handset would cost by itself? I also realised that this Milestone looks slightly different to the Droid 3.

  • Why does Motorola take out the Radio option in an otherwise perfect package i.e Milestone ? Its so dissapointing. The best looking Motorola models like Droid / Milestone do not have the FM radio option. Forces me to consider HTC :-(

  • DROID 3 by Motorola is the world�s thinnest full QWERTY smartphone, and still delivers the power of a dual-core 1 GHz processor for fast multi-tasking. Customers can take stunning photos with the 8-megapixel camera or capture the moment in 1080p HD video. Equipped with Android 2.3, the DROID 3 by Motorola features a brilliant 4-inch qHD display, a roomy 5-row QWERTY keyboard and 3G Mobile Hotspot capabilities, with the ability to connect up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices. DROID 3 by Motorola delivers the power needed to conquer the day whether customers are at home, work or somewhere in between.

  • Hey fellow Aussie. I don't want to break the site rules, but I hope they don't classify this as commercial advertising - it's certainly not my intent - I just want to inform you of what I've found. There's a site I've ordered online from in Australia, (you may have heard of them before) and have been quite good. It seems like they will stock the Droid 3. No ETA as of yet though. I'll do my best to hold out for the Droid / Milestone 3... mainly because I'm interested in that seperate number row on the keyboard. Seems like it'd be pretty handy.

  • hi this model unloked can be used in any gsm carrier? obviously the 3g band dont works thanks

  • Thanks a lot Adam. I wouldn't mind the Milestone 2 at all, as it's what I originally wanted. But after seeing the specs for this Milestone, I'm just a little anxious.

  • Im hoping its gonna be having an above average battery life. at least 400 hours of standby. (fingers crossed)

  • DROID3 Added to DroidDoes.com, Should Be Available Online Any Minute Now

  • Super picture of Droid Bionic 4G showing is real face and very soon will be realesed.

  • No NFC

  • Hey fellow Aussie. I'm in the same boat. I've been pretty tempted to pick up a Milestone 2 also. The Droid 3 (this phone in the USA) is coming out on the 14th of July. It is also a global phone (eg. it'll work here in Australia). There's a few Australian stores that do imports, so I'm planning to ask them whether they plan on getting either the Droid 3 or Motorola 3 anytime soon. If I find out anything useful, I'll post back here.

  • Any idea if this will be released in Australia, and approximately when? I've been holding out getting the milestone 2 and now I'm torn between waiting a little longer for this or getting the M2 soon instead. Also, anyone know why this one's built more similar to the original milestone (slide screen is shorter than its keyboard) rather than the milestone 2??

  • Here what happening, Milestone 2 was released in UK after the release of the US version the Droid 2 but Moto didn't make a big profit after it that why no Milestone 3 in UK for now. Actually the chinese market is the second most important after the US. With better profit in China, Moto announced 3 dual core phones, the Moto MT870, Moto XT883 (Milestone 3) with Gingerblur 3D UI, Moto XT882 to boost the sell in China and in US the Atrix 4G, Droid X2, Droid 3, Photon 4G and the most wanted the Droid Bionic 4G for US market. Moto said that they will lanch more devices in US, China and South America. Still more to come the Droid HD, Moto Bullet and Moto Jet both Quad Core CPU, 12MP, Android 4.0 Ice S.

  • How much price bear for it?

  • Motorola DROID 3 set for July 14th launch on Verizon A leaked internal Verizon memo is all about the Motorola DROID 3. The memo says that direct fulfillment orders will ship on July 7th and the phone will be in stores exactly one week later on July 14th. Pricing is unknown, but there is nothing that would suggest anything higher or lower than the old standard of $199.99 with a signed 2 year contract. According to the memo, the Motorola DROID 3 allows for 27% faster multitasking than the Motorola DROID 2 Global while the 4 inch qHD screen has 26% more pixels and graphics are 30% faster than seen on the DROID 2 Global. The memo also talks about scrollable widgets and smart dock technology that remembers the setting from each dock that the phone was plugged in to. Just yesterday we reported that an upcoming edition of Verizon's Product Guide showed the Motorola DROID 3 and some of the fine specs on the device. Now comes the hard part for Big Red's customers. Do you pick up the third generation DROID model without 4G, or do you wait perhaps as little as 2 weeks longer for the LTE spouting Motorola DROID Bionic?

  • Beautiful + Powerful = PERFECT

  • Great ph. I'd like to have it here in Kenya. I think Motorola makes great phones.

  • Hi guys. I have a question. This phone will be available in the whole world, or only in Asia?? Thanks.
