The new Motorola Milestone 2 breaks cover

Gizmodo

Motorola's foray into the world of Android shows no signs of abating, with yet another spy shot of its forthcoming phones leaking out.

The Motorola Droid X has already dropped in the US, but we've been seeing spy shots of the new Motorola Milestone 2 (or Droid 2 in the US) for a while now.

Weirdly the new phone was just left out on show at a NASA event - reps there said they had no idea of the name, but it is the successor to the Motorola Milestone.

Faster better stronger etc

There's a 5MP camera, which is apparently 'a lot faster', and the chassis is much smoother than before, despite being roughly the same size.

Other good news is the QWERTY slide-out keyboard has been overhauled - the keys are nicely spaced out, and the D-pad was downsized to make it easier to use.

It's also packing a 1GHz processor, and may be released with Android 2.2/Froyo, with a release date set for 'the next few weeks', according to the stand bunny - could we be seeing this in the UK too?

If it does land over here, we'd imagine it would have a new name, given the Motorola Milestone XT720 has just been announced - but we'll keep you posted.

2. If you are "tech savy" you can do it yourself, rooting gets the best out of your phone.

HTC aren't that great either, support is terrible.

Milestone 2 will probably be my next phone.
