Motorola unveiled the Droid 2 in the US last month, so a Europe/Asia-friendly version has been expected. Well, the day has finally come. Motorola today announced the Milestone 2 in the UK, the GSM/HSDPA version of the Droid 2.
This slider has a form factor similar to the original Milestone with almost identical physical dimensions and weight. However, its QWERTY keypad has been slightly tweaked so there's no directional pad. The camera remains at 5 megapixels but is now capable of 720p HD video capture.
