Hello guys, i'm about to buy a Motorola Milestone.
What do you think about it?
I like it cause of the keyboard.
If you need a hardware keyboard I would recommend Desire Z over moto
If you're 'about' to buy the phone then don't. As recommended by orb3000, get a Desire Z instead.
I suggest that if you want to buy a cellphone be sure that you really need it and you gonna need to use its feature. And also you should know the difference between necessity and luxury.
but guys the Desire Z should be very expensive in italy
Here people have to pay the full price of the phone cause we mostly have "pay as you go" plans.
Anyway i got a milestone, and i'm happy so far
I'm switching from the topaz and that's a huge difference hehe
Dont buy the Milestone !!!!!!!!!
The Milestone 2 is out within the next month so go with that

You will need an external unlocking service, such as popping round to a local unlocking shop or using a service like https://unlockcode4u.com/unlock-Samsung/Galaxy-Ace-2-I8160.htm - I've never tried it so be careful. o2 had a great deal but for a black version, for like £130 or something for Christmas.
I bought my Ace 2 at Phones4U before Christmas for 130 quid. It's unlocked and I had the choice between black or white. Not sure what the current price is but you might want to ask.
thank you for replying.
My b'day is coming up early february and i was thinking about buying the ace 2 (white) for 160.00 plus 10 credit = 170.00
is this worth it or shall i wait? although im desperate for a smarphone right now.
i cant believe phones 4 u were sellin at 130 pounds...why is the price so high now?!

if you really can't wait ace2 is worth is because of the fact that it has a dual core prossecor, plus it is gettin jb soon. Now I don't know about your currency but in Greece it was on a really low price for a while so I grabbed it.Although if u think it's expensive and you can wait I read that another mid-range phone which has close specs to ace2 is being released soon so ye.
you could try your local CEX (Entertainment exchange) and see wha they've got, just before christmas they had several phones for under £120 that i preferred but my partner made me buy an ACE 2, im not complaining but i spent £180 on the ace 2 black and could have had a nexus S or xperia play for less and they were unlocked. the Ace 2 i bought from EE shop (orange/tmobile) is locked to one of these 3 networks.
If you really are set on an Ace 2 try CEX's site obviously you can then limit the search to the store closest to you.
According to this http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sam...-go-upgrade-unlocked-phones4u-instore-1458341 the Ace 2 is £109.95 at Phones4U at the moment.
Hello,
I had a Xperia Z1 before and it had some problems so I sent it to Sony just a week ago and they are going to destroy the phone and leave me with nothing (unless i pay, then i get the broken device back) so I'm looking for a new phone just after 3 months :/ The oneplus two seems nice but I don't really want to spend 400 bucks on a phone as i'm only 16 years old and don't have the money for it yet! I can get the 16gb model but my music library is about that size lol! The oneplus one seems nice but I'm not exactly sure if I should buy it or not as I've seen people post stuff about messy touch screens which is a problem I really don't want!
Has this been fixed in recent updates and is this still a good phone to get for 300 bucks(64gb)?
Thanks in advance!

The truth is most people don't have any issues with this device, no matter how hard the haters try to say otherwise. It's still a good buy.

Touchscreen issues have been fixed, only bad thing is that with the latest Android L, the battery isn't so good but it's possible to downgrade to kitkat.

Mentioned touch screen issues were with initial lot.. The new devices don't have any problems..
OPO is well worth the money..
Only advice would be not to upgrade to 5.1 and continue using it on 4.4..for the sake of battery of course.. [emoji56]

Yup, there's no problem with it, I got one bought in January till now and it has no issues at all, no yellow tint or touch problem. Previously I got 1 early China batch one it indeed has yellow tint, but it doesn't as annoying or visible as you think.
Also vote for staying on KK, Lollipop the battery drain like nobody business. (Stock CM12S/CM12.1, Stock Kernel too)
go ahead n buy... no device has comecloser for me in terms of value for money!! no issues left now
hopefully android m will end battery problems as well!!

Alrighty then, the device is 300 euros in Europe and that's a steal! Do you guys happen to know when they will stop selling the one to estimate how much time I have left to buy one?

I don't think they'll stop the sales anytime sooner. The phone is selling a lot even now, after a year of it's release. So take your time.
I'm sorry I didn't see the date of your query, but You will not find a better phone for the money. I won't ask how they managed to refuse to warranty the phone, but that is a shame. Hopefully you can save up some money and get one.
Hi. im also planning to trade my G3 for this device, im worried of my G3 that the crack issue will occur soon so I think of trading it for the 1+1.
is it worth it?

Yes its totally worth it. I bought my g3 in January of this year and as days pass by I started hating it. There was barely any development, the battery didn't last long,and it got pretty warm after sometime. I trade it for a one plus one and I'm not regretting it whatsoever I mean it doesn't have the fancy features like the g3 but the only thing I used on my g3 was the radio sometimes and rarely the ir blaster.

Its still a decent device, although I'm keeping an eye on the ZUK Z1 which has been announced for international release to day (available October), with Cyanogen OS. Its basically shares many of the same internal hardware with the OPO, but has some additional features like OIS, dual SIM, finger print scanner, USB Type C, bigger battery, (arguably) nicer build materials.

Oh, they're also working on a ZUK 2 for January! Featuring the Snapdragon 820..

I sold my 64gb One Plus One (only had it for a few months, got it after the invite system went away) to fund a One Plus Two but ultimately decided to get a Mi Note instead. Love it; far happier than I was with the One. The One had ghost touches, yellowing screen, crap and a half camera (who cares about 4K if HD and FHD still look bad) and horrible onboard sound quality. The Mi is fantastic. Giant LCD (I'm 6'6" so this is a plus), OIS camera, best audio DAC I've ever hear on a phone. And I really like MIUI. One Plus MIUI is broken.
The only downside is shipping from China, but mine arrived no problem (15 days, most of those spent in some sort of customs). 16GB are roughly the same, 64GB Mi Note is cheaper than comparable OP2.
Answer to your title: No! You can find better devices with the same money.

I just got my OPO for 2 weeks.
It has yellowish band on bottom screen.
But overall I satisfy this phone. (especially I am a flashaholic user.)

I heard that band issue can be fixed by using it in the sun or putting it under some UV light, so if I have it I'll try that
To be honest, I'd take the Moto x Style or Moto x Play. With the new style center from Motorola and the 20 mp camera on the Play edition, it really stands out and may even be better then the 1+2.

In my country, the moto x style is 500 euros which is well over my budget since I wasn't planning to buy a new phone any time soon!
you mean 380 euro in your country look at coolbue.nl, the moto x play is there for 379,-

You're right about the style edition by the way, that one is 500 euros
Hi, can you help me decide what phone to buy? I'm currently using Moto G 4G (XT1039) which I really love for it's flexibility (no problem with unlocking bootloader, flashing TWRP, rooting, using custom ROMs) and clean Android, but it's kinda old and during my experiments I managed to break its 3G modem, so I'm looking for an upgrade. What I'm looking for is a phone with around 5 inch screen, good battery and good developers support, a phone that will last for another couple of years, so something with at least 2GB of ram and good SOC. It doesn't need to be brand new, some 2 years old flagships are welcome. I'm thinking about LG Nexus 5 which is affordable and has nice stats or maybe Moto X 1st edition - I don't know. I'm willing to pay no more than 200 GBP. Thanks for all advice.

You could find a second-hand OnePlus One under 200GBP
Ok so I'm gonna say sorry first. I know that there's 100s of these exact posts every week but I feel like I've run out of places to look and could use some help. Time has come for me to upgrade to a new phone, currently I'm using a ascend mate 2 on Android 5.1 and aside from some laggy performance issues it works for what I do with it.
That being said this monster of a phone (6.1") has started to bend from me having it in my back pocket and there's some blemishes on the screen and GPS only works sporadically at best.
I'm looking for someone to point me in the direction of a 5 ish inch phone that has plenty of rom support, wireless charging and decent amount of storage. The OnePlus 5 had me excited but just didn't do it for me. I won't justify $500 unless I'm absolutely sure I want it. I have TMobile for service.
I've looked into the op5, Xperia xz premium, and Pixel. I've considered the GS8 but have a GS6 for work and it's really buggy, also I might as well give them my first born to pay for them. I've had LG devices before and they always gave me problems but perhaps things have changed I don't really know.
I'd appreciate any help you guys can give, and again sorry for asking the typical redundant question.
I am I realize I posted this in the wrong place and can't delete. Mods please remove / close thread.
I've had the amazing s5 for years and never wanted to upgrade until I got a new job and got no signal. Love how it has the SD card and was able to switch batteries.
Switches to LG g4 on eBay for 80$ and purposely made it bootloop so I could send it to LG for replacement. So far so good and love everything about it especially the camera.
