The shady Motorola Shadow strikes again with more rumors - initially dubbed to become the Google Nexus Two, the device is now said to be called Motorola DROID2, with MB810 as a model number...

Not to mention freaks like me who still doesn't trust any order online (worrying credit card or whatever $ related info be stolen), most customers would like to test the actual unit before making the purchase decision.

E.g. when I got the iphone for my wife, we passed by a shop and simply wanted to "check it out", and AFTER testing the unit, and AFTER being warned about the inability to do this and that, we still decided to put our $ down.

I'm using Milestone right now and I like Google phone (plus Moto), and there are people out there who don't mind to have a bigger screen...better for the eyes.

With 3.7" screen on my Milestone, I'm having a hard time browsing the web on my Q9 on a 2.6" screen and want to trade it in for another Android phone ASAP.

    The main problem with Nexus One was that they did it for the worst Mobile provider in the States. That's why the sold so little. Motorola don't make the same mistake. Verizon or AT&T does not matter. Great looking phone. Make the right decision choose the right provider.

      ramin, 03 May 2010are you joking all the things this phone has is similar to... moreyeah, can you give us a timetable when X10 will be upgraded to Android 2.1?

      By the time this Moto device is released, I'm sure it'll be on Android 2.2 or above. Yet X10 might still be on 2.1, if not 1.6....

      Build quality? How about voice quality? No other brand can beat Moto in the voice quality area as of now.

        Anonymous, 03 May 2010SE X10 is way better, I trust Sony much more than Motorola,... moreMoto Milestone and XT701 and others are ALREADY using Android 2.1, while X10 IS still in 1.6.

        Yeah, there was a so called "promise" for upgrade, but when? If SE cares so much about its customers and being the most tech advance phone company, why not even release X10 with Android 2.1 in the first place?

        My speculation is when X10 is upgraded to Android 2.1, the rest should be in Android 2.2 or above.

          I think it's the droid 2, if it was associated with google and the nexus name, it would have a 1ghz snapdragon processor

Nexus One, it looks like HTC Hero which is 100 times superior than Nexus one and much cheaper too and got mobile of the year 2009 award in all aspects.

                          I have a Nokia N900 and love it, But the X10 is getting tempting...this phone is also pretty sweet. However 4.3" is overkill! How much would this tihng way? To me once phones pass 4" screen size it gets to the point to where the compactness of a cell phone means nothing.

                          I wish Moto good luck though they have shown that they are serious in coming back.

                              4.3 is too big por me, it wont fit my jeans :-\ , where's the xenon flash? And where's the 1 ghz processor? The milestone lags because the cpu isnt powerful enough
