Re: Which phone to get?

The Milestone X2 has a dual core processor. I'm pretty sure the rest of those are just single core. If it's battery life is good and you like the software on it, then I'd say go for it.

The conclusion of a review along with a video review. The site gives it an 8/10 but most agree that it's better than that. The site is inconsistent a lot with ratings.

Ok,

I'm not really all that informed when it comes to cell phones. Are Motorola phones good?

Motorola, HTC, Samsung, LG, and Apple are all pretty good smartphone makers. The important thing now more so than the company is the quality of the screen, the processor/video card (speed of the phone), the connectivity (whether LTE, HSPA+, etc.) and the operating system. Watch a video review on the Milestone X2 and if you like the software on it, then go for it. Out of those phones, it's the best one. It's pretty big though (4.3 inch screen) so make sure you're comfortable with that size.

Free isn't always worth while. It would have been helpful if you named your cell phone provider. But I definitely wouldn't get caught up in the word FREE.

Every provider offer free phones every week. And they typically always be phones that has been out for a year or simply haven't sold well so they trying to get rid of inventory.

Far as Motorola, depends on the actual phone. Some of their phones are decent, some are crap with very weak antennae.

Ntelos is our cell phone provider. I have to get it from Ntelos because that's the only place my dad will get our phones from. As for the free thing, not too concerned about it because my dad will deal with all of that stuff.

Well just as long as it will fit in my pocket lol, I'm fine with a bigger phone. It will probably be better for me because I have large hands/fingers and it's hard for me to try to type on the touchscreen sometimes.
