Motorola Milestone 2 Overview
The Motorola Milestone 2 is the European Version of the Motorola Droid 2. The biggest differences are that this phone runs on a GSM network. It runs Android with MOTOBLUR, but so does the Motorola DROID 2 on Verizon.
Spec-wise it's all the same. 3.7 inch touchscreen, slide out keyboard, a 1GHz processor and 8 GB of onboard memory. Like most Motorola phones, the Milestone 2 has a locked and encrypted bootloader. It's more problemsome in Europe, though, as Motorola tends to be slow when updating their devices across the pond.

Motorola Milestone 2 Reviews
PocketLint "From our time with the handset, the Milestone 2 looks to be a promising device, giving you both the benefit of a QWERTY keyboard and a full touchscreen. Offering the specs and hardware to compete with many of its Android rivals, Motorola are on to a good thing by refreshing a format they know."
Phonearena "To wrap up, we’re very fond of the Motorola MILESTONE 2. It's a good solid phone, but unfortunately not a great one. With the negatives mainly being MOTOBLUR's hard-wired integration and the keyboard being a touch flat for our taste. The screen is also not up to the standard found on the HTC Desire Z for example. The only tangible benefit of getting the Motorola MILESTONE 2 over HTC's alternative therefore, would be if you had a preference for the sliding mechanism over the hinge. Naturally, the main alternative to the MILESTONE 2 would be the HTC Desire Z (T-Mobile G2), however, if you wanted something all together more portrait, you could consider the BlackBerry Torch."
"The Motorola Milestone 2 is powerful and packed with features, but the addition of the Motoblur skin doesn't bring enough benefits to warrant the sluggish performance and likelihood that you'll wait longer for Android updates."
PC World "The Motorola Milestone 2 is a very similar smartphone to its predecessor. However, the Milestone 2's improved keyboard, HD video recording and faster processor are all welcome improvements and make it well worth considering if you're after an Android smartphone with a physical keyboard."
Know Your Mobile "A chunky do-it-all smart phone with the latest version of Android, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixel camera, A-GPS, HSDPA 3G and Wi-Fi"
Technosamrat "On the whole, the Milestone 2 offers great value for money. You can safely purchase this sleek model and avail its excellent features. The sleek black Motorola Milestone 2 can make an enviable possession for you."
"The Motorola Milestone 2 is powerful and packed with features, but the addition of the Motoblur skin doesn't bring enough benefits to warrant the sluggish performance and likelihood that you'll wait longer for Android updates."
"The Motorola Milestone 2 features some welcome improvements on Motorola’s original handset. Faster and with even more useful functions, for both business and social networking, the Milestone 2 is a great smartphone."
"The best Android QWERTY, but Moto, PLEASE stop messing with the software."
"Since it just got announced by Motorola Mobiles, we have yet to be affirmitive of price, however, the speculations are it shall cost around $500 USD to $650 USD, you can convert the currency into your local currency to get the fair idea of how much it shall cost in your country, remember, the price can vary from country to country, check out with your local retailer. Best of luck to those who get their hands on Milestone 2. Please get back to us when you have this phone and let us know of your findings."
