We brought you news earlier this month that the Motorola Milestone will be getting an upgrade to Android 2.2 and this information has now been confirmed by Motorola.

In a post on their owners forum Motorola stated that the 2.2 update for the Milestone will begin rolling out in the 4th Quarter of 2010.

The Motorola Milestone will be enhanced by Android 2.2 which will enable full flash support, the ability to use your mobile as a personal Wi-Fi hotspot and the possibility to install applications on your microSD card. 

Some bad news that accompanies the post is that neither the Motorola Backflip or the Dext will be receiving any further updates, or at least that's how it looks from the post. Neither phone has achieved great sales in the UK,  but even so we feel it's rather unfair to discontinue support.
