The Motorola Droid is the only smartphone which has come closest to the iPhone in terms of customer likeness and recorded a whopping sales number of more than 800,000 handsets since it had been released in the US on November 6. The same is now being launched in the European market and has been already welcome by the major UK phone networks. The phone is supposedly to be launched in the UK on 7th December.

The Motorola Droid runs on Google backed Android operating system and it has some cool features such as; 5 megapixel camera, QUERTY keyboard which slides out, 3.7 inch touchscreen are few of the features its boasts about.
It is planned to be released via Expansys, UK technology retail website, with which it has struck a deal. It is ranged for £449.99, and for £50 with a T-Mobile Combi 30 contract costing £35 a month. In the UK it will be known as "Milestone", a change possibly linked to the fact that the name "Droid" is used in the US under licence from George Lucas' production company Lucasfilms, who copyrighted the term following its use in the Star Wars films.

In a statement from Motorola, the manufacturer cited international interest as a key reason for the release. "The device has received a great deal of interest from customers and consumers around the world," it said.
