I've now the MM2 for 2 days. Being in the UK I bought it from cex for £320, unlocked and grade A!
Having been a Nokia fan for years I decided to take the plunge and give this phone a chance. while using Nokia phone I also used in between the HTC HD2 (windows 6.5) and also the Nexus one!
I will briefly go through what I think of the handset....but firstly, I have always wanted a phone with a QWERTY keyboard. After using the nokia e71, n97 and n900 as well as the HD2 and nexus one i fealt nothing could come close to Nokia although I liked the Android system!
pros-
-fantastic build quality - mainly metal I believe.
-very stable operating system. hasn't slowed down on me yet!
-after using N1 previously. I signed on with my google account and ALL my contacts transferred to the phone automatically!
-Battery life very good compared to Nokia N900. lasted easily all day with moderate use. Charged within 1.5 hours!
- Bright screen
-Voice dialling even over bluetooth!!!!! fantastic while your driving! N1 could not do that! even with 2.21 update!
- Can set calls to say callers name over and over again rather than using a ringtone!
- Phone automatically stops sending and receiving data including email between 22.00 - 05.00 so you get a peaceful night!
-Motorola widgets aren't as bad as what ppl think!
- Speakerphone qyality just as good as my N900!
Cons-
- In call quality not as good as Nokia phonee, but comes very close!...still a bit of static and thats with using the different call quality settings! However over bluetooth using Jawbone its crystal clear
- touch sensitive buttons not always responsive.
- To steup any other email account other than gmail. you have to register with MOTOBLUR account! strange but true! But once done email comes over like in Nokia phones!
- Don't get this phone for it's camera. The N900 has 5 meg pix camera which is way better.
All in all....I like the phone very much indeed!
Would I stay with Android from now on?....YES! would I get another Motorola in the future.....YES!
Motorola are better than I thought!.. WELL DONE!

Yup, I'm fr... moreanyhu, motoblur is no hassle at all unlike what many reviewers make it out to be. its just like anroid, the more u use it the more u learn and get used to it. just make sure u have an unlimited data plan though cuz its VERY VERY data intensive.

Yup, I'm fr... moreyep im a KL lad too. i highly doubt you will get it in malaysia at all. reason being there motorola distributor here, bright star isnt as proactive as nokia's zitron. besides, the motorola market here isnt very big. little do the masses know what they r missing out on.
anyhu, i got my unit from UK. the website is clove.co.uk. alternately i know a chap who brings in phones from singapore. he could get u the MS2 for RM1.9k if im not mistaken. i tried looking around many shops in and around KL but had no luck. so ur best bet would be clove or this fella i was on about

Yup, I'm from kl. Where are you? Have u managed to buy M2 yet?
Moto really slow isn't it? M2 yet to enter our market, when around march or april better phones will be released (ex: atrix, dualcore procsr). Fingercrossed none will feature better slide qwerty keypad eh..
Try to get it today, hopefully motoblur will not be too much of a hassle as many review suggest..

Anonymous, 15 Jan 2011Hi
Please help me ...i am upgrading my contract so which ... moreof course milestone 2 bro. like the defy, it comes with flash 10.1 support. that means u can view flash content (ie youtube) on ur browser itself without using an external application (just like how u do on a computer). the slide out QWERTY makes typing emails a breeze, something the defy, c7 and wave lack. also i can say for sure, after using high end nokias, HTCs,and SE's that motorola has by far the best call quality of them all
if i were u, for sheer internet viewing pleasure ill go for the milestone 2, or a dell streak if u can try push for one.

After paying £... moreFair enough, but on a standard smart-phone contract for 35quid/month for 18 months, you'd end up paying a minimum of 630quid. now thats excluding any additional usage ie international calls/sms. i just found it much cheaper on PAYG, especially since im only in the UK effectively for 8 months
