Good hardware but disastrous policy update

I have the Milestone also more than a year and was quite satisfied with the company on the whole. However, I would advise against any of them to buy a unit of Motorola, as you (even bugfixes) is left out in the cold with updates. Almost a year passed between the Froyo release of Google and the update of the milestone by Motorola. When the update is finally releast I of course immediately installed to be disappointed just bitter. It is a complete mystery to me how this bugged ROM could get through the quality assurance of Motorola.

Since the update the device is nearly useless:

- The battery lasts just as 14h with moderate use
- The device crashes several times a day from (especially when using the browser)
- Very slow response often depends for 30s or more
- The screen far too early in the Landscape mode (even with slight angle)
- The battery warning tone is loud and very unpleasant
- Running some apps, the phone unusable slow

To make matters worse is also the bootloader locked, ie an additional stones are placed when installing custom ROMs in the way. So I can relate to only recommend the next Android smartphone from another manufacturer (eg HTC) or directly a Google Phone (Nexus S) to take.

That was my last Motorola product (so that I am not alone, see Facebook page of Motorola).
