Motorola Milestone: Isn't it pretty?

We've got our grubby little mitts on the much-anticipated Motorola Milestone and it's safe to say we're pretty much in love. It's everything we ever hoped it would be and more - from the satisfying clunk as the keyboard slides into place to the smart bronze detailing, not to mention what a joy it is to use... we're going to have trouble parting ways with it.

The massive 3.7-inch touchscreen provides more than room for the Android OS to do its thing; with multiple home screens there's plenty of space for all your favourite apps and contacts to sit side-by-side, and the web-browsing experience was possibly the best we've seen to date.

We'll be putting the handset through its paces very soon in a full review, but check out our photo gallery for a sneaky preview.

Modestly packaged in a traditional cardboard box, the Milestone forgoes the flashier packaging we've seen from some of the more mainstream phones. This is a serious phone, the box says, for serious people who do not compromise. Except on the name of the handset.
