Motorola quietly updates Milestone to 2.0.1

Thursday, 25 February 2010

Motorola slipped out an Over-The-Air update to the Milestone this week which fixes a number of issues that have plagued the handset since launch. This is the same update that Droid owners in the US have been enjoying for the last couple of months and it will resolve your camera focus issues and interface lag. Read on for our take.

The update has had a positive effect on our review unit. The first thing we noticed was an increase in homescreen and menu performance, although the lag wasn`t completely eliminated. The battery life has also improved and we`d guess that the unit now gets another 60-90 minutes between charges. The update also fixes that annoying intermittent camera focus bug.

If your Milestone is still running 2.0, there are a few ways to get this update. Firstly, you can wait while the update automagically downloads and installs to your device. Secondly, you can force an update by navigating to the device update options ("About Phone") in the settings menu. Finally, you can also download Motorola`s Software Update Manager which will take care of the whole process from start to finish.
