It turns out the Motorola MILESTONE XT720 is almost ready to start shipping. Word on the street is that the Android-powered device will hit the stores on 2 July.

One of the main reasons for starting making plans of purchasing the Motorola MILESTONE XT720 is its promising 8MP autofocus snapper with Xenon flash and 720p video recording at 24fps. Motorola has just published some photos taken with the XT720 and they look pretty nice.
