Online retailer LetsBuy just informed us that the Motorola Milestone 2 is available for purchase and that too at a surprising price tag of Rs.20999 make it cheaper than what the original Milestone is retailing for in the market.
The handset went on sale in Europe few weeks back and it’s launch expected in this part of the world.
Samsung just announced another member of the Galaxy Android-running lineup. The Galaxy Neo will be a Korea-only smartphone that belongs to the upper midrange segment.
The feature set however has been altered, with the most notable changes being the screen resolution upgrade to WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) and the introduction of T-DMB support. Bluetooth has also been promoted to version 3.0. The camera however has been downgraded to 3 megapixel resolution and has lost its autofocus capabilities.
The Galaxy Neo features an 800MHz processor and 512MB of RAM and runs on Android 2.2 Froyo. The highlights list continues with Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) support, a 3.5mm audio jack and a 1,500 mAh battery.
Judging by those specs the Samsung Galaxy Neo should fit somewhere between the I9001 Galaxy Galaxy S Plus and the Galaxy Ace.
The Samsung Galaxy Neo is a CDMA version so it won’t work on any GSM networks.
So far there’s no information about pricing or possible release of a global version of the Galaxy Neo.

Cellular South said it will be carrying the HTC Merge and this Android handset with a full QWERTY keyboard will be the first to come preloaded with the Amazon Appstore.
“We’re excited to add our first Android world phone to Cellular South’s growing suite of Android smart phones and tablets as we continue to build on our promise to deliver the wireless industry’s best Android experience,” said Kevin Hankins, chief operating officer for Cellular South, in a prepared statement. “Coupled with the new Amazon Appstore for Android, the HTC Merge is the perfect device for customers who are looking for a reliable mobile experience with the features and functionality of a smart phone, whether it’s at home or traveling around the world.”
The interesting thing about the Cellular South HTC Merge is that it will come preloaded with the Amazon Appstore. This offers exclusive apps like Angry Birds Rio and you won’t have to jump through hoops to install Amazon Appstore programs like you do with other Android devices on other carriers.
The Amazon Appstore on the Cellular South HTC Merge is nice but I can’t wait for the just-launched cloud service to find its way to Android phones out of the gates. Giving Android a full client for buying and streaming a large collection of music and videos would finally give it the counterbalance to Apple’s iTunes.
The Cellular South HTC Merge will be available next month for an unspecified price but I would hope that the carrier won’t charge more than $150 for a device of this class.
