Nokia announced it’s results for Q2 and the Finnish phone maker is still shipping tons of phones compared to other handset makers. It shipped 111.1 million units , had sales of 10 billion USD.

Motorola undecided about Froyo for Milestone

Folks out there who are using the Motorola Milestone are waiting for Android 2.2 from a long time, but I think the following statement will break their hopes. Have a look:

Next European Milestone and 2.2 (Froyo). I have expressed over the last  few days that the decision is pending. The team here has been collating  key pieces of information and views from this community in the last  month and providing input to relevant teams in Motorola so they are  aware. I am pushing for that decision to be made as quickly as possible,  and we can then all go from there. Some others ask why the decisions on  upgrades take so long, and why does implementation then take much  longer still. What I can say and have stated recently is that upgrades  are not a walk in the park.

Sure there are short cuts that people can  take, but when you have to integrate software to a specific hardware,  then test it and integrate with third party applications, let alone any  innovation from ourselves, plus then get approvals to make this all  official and safe… its is a big undertaking that requires planning and  resource and third party coordination to see this all through. As I say,  once we have decision, we will inform.

That’s what Motorola European region MD, James King said. We want Motorola to launch Android 2.2, because Motorola Milestone is capable to run Android 2.2. Well, lets see what Motorola do, so stay tuned.
