Motorola i1 now available on SouthernLinc, coming to Boost Mobile
The Motorola i1, the first push to talk Android-powered phone, is now available on SouthernLinc Wireless. We had expected Sprint to be the first carrier to carry the Motorola i1 but we guess a little carrier no one's heard about beat them to the punch. And it looks like Boost Mobile is hot on its heels, with MobileCrunch scoring confirmation that the i1 is on the way to the MVNO.
The Motorola i1 is actually a rather decent phone for those in the iDEN market -- it packs a 5-megapixel camera, gorilla glass screen, and is Military Spec 810F certified for blowing rain, dust, shock, vibration, temperature extremes, low pressure, salt fog, humidity and solar radiation. Now that's a spec list for you. The i1 also comes preloaded with Opera Mini 5 (and the native browser too) and Swype, so in all, a pretty decent option for those looking for a rugged handset.

Motorola Milestone ready for overclocking
Before today, overclocking a Motorola Milestone was mostly just a dream, because of the way the boot partition is locked up. But no more. Thanks to some pure genius (something we're getting used to when talking Android), you can now rev up your RPMs (erm, or clock cycles) on the Milestone, and all you need is to make sure your phone is rooted. Additionally, you’ll be able to overclock the Milestone to 1.2GHz, just like the Droid, which should provide a significant speed boost. This method works by actually changing the structures in the kernel’s memory runtime via an injected kernel module, which means you could turn up your CPU before playing a game, or turn it down to save battery life; all without having to reboot the system. Be sure to check out the in-depth instructions. [Milestone Overclock code page via XDA Developers] Thanks, Tiago!

Jerba, 24 May 2010in south africa the milestone have android 2.1 already in t... moreWhen Milestone was released in HK around late Dec, it came with Android 2.0, which already had some issues.
Then 2.0.1 was available in late Jan, and for those who "upgraded" had some problems. But when I got mine in mid-Feb, it came with 2.0.1 "brand new".
Then 2.1 was released sometime in Mar/Apr, for those who "upgraded", they seem to have problems, especially with Crystal Talk (major issue for me as I really value voice quality, esp on Moto phones), but for those who bought the phone recently with 2.1, such is "not" a problem.
So I'll need to wait til somebody tells me the bugs on 2.1 has been fixed for the "upgrade" version, otherwise I'll stick with my 2.0.1.

Am trying for several days now to download the 2.1 update OTA in order to enable Dutch language UI on the Motorola Milestone. However, everytime I get the message that the phone has the latest software (2.01)... However, I read the 2.1 is out since quite some time now. It would seem that the Milestone I have is the French version. Is an OTA download not yet possible? I would obviously prefer OTA to an update via computer (moreover as that is only possible on Windows and not on Macintosh). Thanks for any hint what is going on.

I do agree there are problems with the 2.1 "update", that's the reason why I'm still using 2.0.1, which works extremely fine.
And from what I heard, if the phone is equipped with 2.1 "brand new", there is no problem.

Am somehow surprised that the mostly positive tone in this discussion forum is offset by the quite negative one on the Motorola Milestone support forum on the Motorola website. There I read quite negative experiences and complaints about issues with the Milestone, even and maybe in particular after the Android 2.1 update. How is the situation with the 2.1 update?
