    Looking at picking up xt701 for use on ATT

    What are everyone's thoughts after using the phone for a bit? Any issues using the phone on ATT's 3g bands? Camera quality? battery life? Anyone using custom roms? There doesn't seem to be much interest in the hacking community for the xt701. Thanks

    Has anyone bought the xt701 from newegg or amazon?

    Newegg.com - Motorola XT701 Black Unlocked Smart Phone with Android OS $449 at newegg.com. I just wanted to confirm if it is working on AT&T 3G bands. One of the reviews said yes, but never hurts to have numbers. Especially since they are selling the "Euro 3G" version of the Milestone (Droid).
