It appears that Droid 2 for the US and Milestone 2 for the UK/Europe are exactly the same. Expansys show both phones on their sites and they have the specs.
Droid 2 in US
Milestone 2 in UK
I'm thinking of getting a Droid 2 sent from the US via ebay, am I right to assume it will work in the UK if I unlock/root it?
Thanks!
Id have to say, the only difference is the lack of verizon-bloatware, and the ability to record in 720p.. AH I'M ANGRY! Motorola Mod Edit droid 2 users out of 720p so people would buy the X.
Milestone is the gsm model. The droid 2 is cdma. A us droid will not work in europe the same way a vcr can't play betamax tapes.

So development seems really lacking (coming from a vzw Gnex) for the moto X.
And everyone seems to also really love the stock rom.
Would the Dev edition be worth getting or a custom built phone (wood backs :drool?
I'm holding out for Moto Maker access on Monday. Would LOVE to see the wooden backs available the same time... super nifty.

Depends.... Can you make due with 16gig, and/or waiting on exploits to be found and rom to be rooted when new updates come out?
I ordered the Dev edition because I wanted 32gig and unlocked boot loader so I can always easily root, and if the need/desire to flash a custom rom comes I can.
WIth the history of rooting the X, getting a moto maker x if they have a 32gig for vzw, might not be too bad.

I won't be able to make do with 16gig so I was hoping moto maker will offer 32gb. if not than dev edition for me. I have about 20 gigs used on my Gnex now.
rooting doesn't seem to be too big of a problem and unlocked bootloader is nice but if there are not enough custom roms and kernels than it's almost pointless.

Moto Maker will give you the option of 16GB of internal memory for $99 or 32GB for $149. Monday can't come soon enough... just sucks that it'll be nearly a week from then before it's delivered though.

You are the man
Really wanted to pick up a Moto X during the $150 promo but didn't want to give up the wireless charging and screen size coming from my DNA. However with the Maxx just $50 more (versus the $400 32GB Moto X) and including those missing things, as well as just getting Kit Kat, this is a great price and very tempting.
Could you share the link? I am looking for Off contract version too.

Hi guys this is just a little bit of fun and to just gather what everyone's thoughts where when they got their moto g?
Here's mine..
1st Moto G ( Partners )
Wouldn't switch on straight out of the box
Second (Partners Replacement)
Worked fine
Third (mine)
Unlocked Bootloader
Rooted using modaco thread
Then put Exposed onto it

I bought the Boost Mobile Moto G at Target for $60. I unlocked the boot loader, flashed the Verizon 4.4.2 ROM and modified it to work on Page Plus. It's activated and working great. Last night I did the OTA update to 4.4.4. Plan to give it to my mother. Nice little phone.

Here in India they released via Flipkart. G was released before X here. And so I had to sell my G as I've always dreamed of getting a X Woodback..

Just sold my 3 week old LG G3 on ebay before I threw it against the wall. With the proceeds I bought a new to the market tablet which is an Acer Iconia Tab 8 (Beautiful full HD, 2gb ram, very speedy Intel Atom quadcore processor :laugh, a lovely bottle of single malt...oh...and a Moto G 16gb and I still have some change in my pocket.
For such a big downgrade (on paper) I have to say that I am very impressed with it. I haven't rooted it as I like to use Skygo but I have installed the HTC blinkfeed launcher and It looks and performs very nicely (as long as I have my glasses on )
