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.

...I definitely hope so! I would love to get my hands on a 3G version of the Droid 2! (although getting an 8MP cam + 720p recording on top of that would be great too =P)
I wouldn't hold my breath though, probably have to wait a month or two before we start seeing anything.
The Droid 2 is a cdma phone meaning its not compatible anywhere but with Verizon in America. You will have to wait for a gsm spec phone to come out ie Milestone

Well the Droid 2 WE just got leaked over at boygeniusreport.com (http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010...tablet-all-found-in-verizon-wireless-systems/)
...along with a Droid Pro which supposedly has a 1.3GHz proc. supposedly launching in November.
....but this could be a HTC built snap-dragon device instead of a Motorola built ARM-Cortex device. If that's the case - I'd go for the Droid 2 as opposed to the Pro. If the Droid 1 is anything to go by, the ARM-Cortex is more stable for OCing
How many of my Aussie brothers have bought this smartphone and how good is it compared to the quadcore phones out there today and would you recommend it?

i am using ONE X, and then i got a RAZR HD
i didn't like it that much; besides the AMAZING download speed
(4G that's without a doubt, and 3G is also great reach 25Mb~30Mb of speed)
but performing wise... no, it is not faster than Quadcore phones.
so if you haven't but it, try S3 the LTE version (I9305) which has 2G of RAM (don't get the wrong one)
that I9300 also just piece of crap LOL
:laugh:

if i get to choose? Nexus 4
please correct me if i am wrong,
that Nexus 4 it's Quadcore 1.5Ghz Krait
and
RAZR HD only has Dual Core 1.5GHz Krait
performance wise, Nexus 4 is definately much better
Nexus 4 also comes with 2G of RAM
the only down side of Nexus 4, it's that 16GB of ROM and not expandable
please ref this page for more comparison info

I rolled out 3 new GS3 4G's at work. They seem nice and fast, but I'll never get another Samsung after my current GS2. Only thing leaning me towards the Razr HD at the moment is the battery life. My GS2 is sometimes dead by lunch and I'm just not sure if the Nexus will make it through a big work day.
Razr HD with CM10-11 would be amazing!
Oh and has anyone found/got a good case? I would be keen to find a flip case to protect the screen as well.
Can any aussie telstrs here upload the stock telstrs firmware, jelly bean or ics?

I really like the nexus 4 but 16gb is not enough since there is only about 12gb of internal space, then there is the Galaxy S3 but don't like it's polycarbonate casing because I currently have a Galaxy S2 on a Telstra plan and it's materials feel cheap but the Motorola has excellent materials and big battery and I have read reviews that talk highly of this phone so maby I'll wait till one of you guys can share your real world experience.
Using hd. Came from Htc one x and galaxy nexus. Used to swap sim regularly. Htc one x was rubbish. Constant issues and returned with further issues after warranty work.
I love my Hd, torn with Nexus 4 though. The build quality of the hd is awsome and hopefully its strong enough to break my cycle of 2-3 phones every year. No regrets especially when in 4g

Please somebody upload the firmware? Telstra seems to operate on 4G 1800MHz like my Belgian provider. Then I can use 4G.
Or if someone is willing to sell me a new one >PM<

Picked up my RAZR HD last week from telstra, awesome phone.. I came from optus and cannot believe how fast the telstra network is with this phone, even on 3g I am getting 9x the speeds of optus
I'm still getting used to it, but very keen for the JB update, I hope telstra don't delay it.

I'm thinking about getting the HD. I currently have the SGSIII. Any comparissons or recommendations on the two? Is the HD quicker with dual core Krait CPU?
Got a Razr HD on the weekend. Love it. The build quality is excellent and the software seems much better than some of Motos previous efforts. The battery life hasn't amazed me yet. Hopefully it improves. I can only get about 17 hours so far with moderate usage. I installed Juice Defender last night and it seems to be making a big difference so far...
Can't wait for Jelly Bean. After running CM10 on my previous phone (Defy) and my Nexus 7, ICS is a bit of a step backward...

Wife has a SG3, its ok, plastic feels cheap. All the extra UI stuff just gets turned off after the first gimmick day. My RAZR feels smoother.

Moved from Virgin to Telstra to get a Razr HD. Got it a just over a week ago and returned it yesterday morning. The vibrate was not working period so I contacted Moto and they told me to turn it on and off again... Super! Funnily enough that didn't bring the vibrater back to life. Ended up doing a full factory reset about a dozen times. Nope.
Returned to the phone to Telstra under their ELF program for up to a two week wait.. Yippee
They gave me a sweet Galaxy Ace to keep me going... Super.
Think I just got a bad one but if They replace it with another failure I might try and get an SGSIII instead. My wife has one and It is better then the Razr HD if I'm honest.
Hi,
im looking at a Motorola Droid RAZR M XT907, without contract, carrier verizon on ebay
could anyone confirm that this is fully unlocked to work on all gsm 900/1800, hsdpa 900/2100 worldwide (as it says in the listing), im considering getting one to use in nz.
looking for something more compact and light than a moto g for basic use
thanks
He speaks the truth ...
cool, i've just bought a moto g but it's a bit large and heavy, especially in the pocket, it seems I could do just as much with this phone as im not into media or games so the screen size and res isn't that important,
do you think i'd regret it?
thanks
I know the moto g has really good battery life and was reviewed on YouTube by some woman (forgot name) but in the video the phone lasted over 30 or 60 minutes in a sink full of water. Personally I'd go for the newer device as the RAZR m is starting to get outdated, although we are getting kitkat, it still is a fairly old phone.

Ah yes Erica griffin, as he said old phones on kk aren't as great as new phones on it
Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk
Motorola Droid Mini is more compact and light, also more modern than the M and faster than the Moto G. It has the same rez screen as the G.
It's the replacement for the RAZR M and they come GSM unlocked with no need to flip bits in NV memory like the M.
One with a bad ESN/IMEI would be cheaper and should work for you in NZ.
Battery life is not great on KK though. I've heard it was better on JB, but I think I had JB on my Mini all of 2-hours. Also can't be rooted on KK unless it was rooted on JB and root preserved when updated to KK.
Razr M is a nice phone, why don't you also check swappa.com , can find find better phones there.

Hi all
To put it short I'm trying to buy a Moto X Style from abroad, since the local Chinese variant might not be compatible with custom firmwares in the future.
Problem is, I've asked some resellers that claim to have the "US variant" for pre-order, but got the response that it has a bootloader lock that can't be unlocked. Before you ask, I know about the existence of Moto X Pure in the US, and understand that the Pure is easily unlockable, but it costs quite a premium here. I've also heard that there's *no* carrier variants of the X Style at all in the US, so it should be free from carrier influence.
So:
1) Is there a regular X Style alongside the Pure, or is there only the Pure on sale in the US?
2) If the answer to 1) is yes, is the Style's bootloader unlockable? If not, considering that there aren't carrier variants, why?

1) No, the Pure is the only Moto X being sold in the US (one caveat is that Verizon is releasing a Droid Maxx 2 which may be a rebranded Moto X Pure)
2) Yes, it is unlockable

I see - this agrees to my previous research. Thanks clicked
I don't give a ____ about Verizon's version because 1) BL lock of course, 2) I'm still using old-school GSM/EvDo1x networks, 3) the Droid Maxx 2 is a rebranded Play and the X Force has a Snapdragon 810 which I swear I will not touch this year.
I contacted the reseller again and told him about this, and this time he said he isn't sure because stock hasn't arrived yet. I guess he was just making guesses based on previous generations.
I'll leave this thread open for more feedbacks if there are any.

I've tried on swappa but no luck. I've also tried eBay. But they seem pretty expensive. Anyone know of someone or a place where I can pick up an x force? I'm in California.

Don't buy it in other place your bootloader may be impossible to unlock.
You can also custom your Moto for free if you buy it on the official website.
For exemple you can have your name or anything on the back of the Moto.
You can also choose custom texture, and color for your phone and even a premium leather instead of the ballistic nylon! (but leather is not free of course, personally I have order my Moto in leather)

The name is Motorola Moto X Force for the entire world, except for the US where is "Moto Droid Turbo 2" I ****ing don't know why lol.
Yeah I was looking at Motorola website.. It's a lot cheaper but I don't have Verizon. I use cricket so I'm worried about some of the bands not being compatible.
I'm currently using an LG v10 and Xperia but thinking about getting rid of the v10 for a turbo 2/x force.
Mainly for that shatterproof screen.
