Motorola MILESTONE 2 Unboxing
The Motorola MILESTONE 2 comes in box with the usual accessories – a charger, a microUSB cable to be used for both data connections and charging and a one-piece headset. There’s an 8GB microSD card too, which tops the 8GB of built-in memory for a total of 16GB of storage right out of the box.
Except, that’s not quite right – what we found out after a bit of head-scratching was that the 8GB of inbuilt memory is for apps only, not available to store photos, music or anything else. Just who would fill all that space with apps is beyond us.
So don’t get fooled by vague marketing, the supplied 8GB microSD card is all the storage you get for general purposes.
