Motorola Milestone Software Update FroYo

Finally Motorola has made FroYo upgrade available for some countries. I have a phone that was bought in UK and I could upgrade the software. You can see the 3G hotspot and apps2SD and other features that were part of FroYo.

The software update is not available for OTA but you need to download Motorola Software Update utility from here.

Once you have the software and a Windows machine, you can connect the phone using USB cable and after that it is self explanatory.

Application Review: Lookout

So many days since I posted something. I got to try this new app called Lookout. Very decent app. It provide functionality related to identifying vulnerabilities in the phone, one can request location of the phone from their portal, backup photos, call records and contact book.

Basic application is free but some of the functionality is premium and you need to pay $29.99 per annum for premium functionality. Premium functionality includes backing up of photos and call records and remote lock and wipe of the device.

If one is keeping lots of confidential data on the device, I would say that the premiums version is worth it otherwise one should anyway install the free version.
