Some of you weren’t too pleased to see Motorola’s new Milestone hitting Europe with just 256MB of memory and a 550MHz processor, and it seems like Moto has listened. We’re sure the XT720 would’ve done just fine running Android 2.1 with its previous spec, but we’re hardly going to begrudge a free upgrade. The TI OMAP3440 is now running at 720MHz — something Motorola had told us the phone was always capable of, though the company had initially opted to downclock away from it, presumably in an effort to extend battery life. RAM gets a healthy doubling to 512MB, bringing the Milestone XT720 more in line with its “premium multimedia” boast, while the launch date seems to remain unaltered: later this month for Europe and a big fat question mark for the USA.
