[www.keralites.net] Motorola Milestone 2 and Defy announced
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.
Another important distinction is that the processor has been upped from 550MHz to 1GHz on the Milestone 2. This, coupled with Android 2.2 (this version optimizes CPU performance), should make the performance much improved compared with the original Android 2.1-equipped Milestone. Take note that the Milestone 2 comes with the company's MotoBlur software enhancement, while the original had a vanilla version of Android.
At the same time, Motorola has unveiled the Defy, another Android smartphone with MotoBlur. This is a full-touchscreen model that's dustproof as well as water- and scratch-resistant. Its front, like the Dell Streak and Samsung Galaxy S, is protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass. Other specs of the Defy include Android 2.1 OS, HSDPA/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity, A-GPS and a 5-megapixel camera.
Both products are expected in Europe from Q4. We have contacted Motorola to find out if the phones will be sold in Asia, too.
