well I will suggest to go for it as I think it will soon get updated to Android 2.2 well Android 2.3 is out but it is best phone according to me and lovely phone with good hardware specs and beautiful design if you want to buy my vote is to go for it

@Abhilash, XT720 is excellent.. No other words.. 8MP camera, Touch to focus, Image stabilizer with scene control, 720i video recording HDMI output & hdmi cable is provided inbox. Virtual keyboard is very sensitive with Multi touch. You can use both the hands to type. Free upgrade to Motonav maps to 620 cities from 401. But there is no MotoBlur UI.

Don't expect Android 2.2 Froyo for XT720. Motorola decided not to roll out 2.2 Froyo for XT720. I don't know what's the exact reason. I guess some business reason. Because Milestone X is soon arriving to India with almost same features f XT720 but running on 2.2. So if 2.2 made available for XT720 then no one will prefer Milestone X

I forgot to mention. XT720 is FOTA enabled phone. Means Firmware Over The Air. CPU speed is 720Mhz

[abhilashthobias]

wht is FOTA???
does the UI lag b'coz of slow cpu.
nd how is the battery life.
nd when is the milestone x launching in india,wil it b before christmas????
does anyone here has a xt720.

FOTA is Firmware Over The Air. You need not to connect your phone to PC go to Motorola website & upgrade firmware. If upgrades are available, you will receive Firmware over the air & you can upgrade at click of a button on your phone.

Absolutely no lags in UI. Mind blowing speed. Overall phone is good. For 10 I will rate 9.5 in features. 8 in designing. Camera features no problem if you give 10/10. Camera is simply wow..

@prasanna: do u own a xt720. if yes, then did u root the phone and do other modding stuff like over clocking and all.....
btw do u have any idea when this milestone x is launching. i mean whether will it be before christmas. is this milestone x same as the dorid x????

[prasannars]

No, I am not having XT720. Milestone X is GSM version of Droid X. Features are almost same. But Milestone X is running on Android 2.2 Froyo & having 4.3" screen & comes with mechanical shutter for camera. I am not sure about launch of Milestone X before this christmas. Because Motorola is splitting into 2 different units. I don't think Motorola will launch any new phones till Jan. 4th., Either Milestone X or Milestone 2 will hit Indian market soon. As soon as I get info. regarding release I will let you know.
