Default [Q] Droid 2 World Edition/Milestone 2 Quick Quesiton

Hi all,

I have my Milestone 2 on pre-order and have a very basic quesiton. I have never owned an Android device before but am very much into using Linux etc and am quite keen to get stock Android running on my Milestone 2 when I finally get it.

My question is, will the ROMs that introduce stock Android onto the Droid 2 work without much trouble on the World Edition of the phone, or do you guys envisage a fair bit of work to get it rolling?

Apologies if this has been covered before or is in the wrong section of these forums.

Regards,

- Matt

Just so you know, Droid 2 Global (World Edition) is not the same phone as the Milestone 2.
Droid 2 Global has CDMA, GSM, UMTS while Milestone 2 is a different phone and has GSM and UMTS but no CDMA.

Verizon says the Droid 2 Global is Tri-Band UMTS, but I can't find any documentation on what bands exactly.
Droid Pro has Tri-Band UMTS, too, and according to some documentation it is 850/1900/2100 but that is not official.
