You didn’t think that only Americans were going to have all of the fun and excitement of owning the Motorola DROID, did you? A German blog leaked a picture of a business guide and an O2 official price list which showed that the DROID heading to Germany under the name MILESTONE (Why not call it the Sholes or the Tao?). The Android powered device will be coming to the carrier, priced at 404.20 EUR which is a little under $595 USD before taxes and subsidies. Furthermore, BGR was able to grab an image of the phone on O2’s web site after a simple Google request. The Motorola comeback trail continues to take on world-wide proportions. Check out the O2 price list at this link.

Sprint´s second Android cell phone, the Samsung Moment, has finally arrived! Customers of the carrier can now get the device for $179.99 on a two-year contract and after $100 mail-in rebate. The handset is equipped with full QWERTY keyboard, 3.2-megapixel camera and 3.2-inch AMOLED screen with HVGA resolution. Its interface does not feature the profound personalization pack the HTC Hero does, but the gadget will certainly win over quite a few people with its hardware keyboard and fast, 800MHz processor. We hope Sprint will release update to Android version 2.0 when the software has become available.

A recent tweet from Sony Ericsson said to expect Project Rachael (the Xperia X10) to be revealed on November 3rd. Whether that means that the handset will be introduced that day, as we reported earlier on PhoneArena.com, or something else, there is no denying that this device has some sweet specs. From the 4 inch display to the 1GHz Snapdragon processor and the 8MP camera, everything about this Android powered handset screams ,”Top of the Line”. Originally called the X3, the joint venture apparently felt that Rachael is a 10 so the name of the phone was changed, as we already told you.
Motorola and Verizon have been hogging the media with the incessant promoting of the Droid. So far, Sony Ericsson has chosen to selectively pass along information on the X10 to the media and public, including this quick 20 second glimpse of Rachael. For you Sony Ericsson fans, this video will have to suffice until Tuesday, when we should learn more about the phone.

We have already reported on info that shows a November 6th launch for the HTC DROID Eris at Verizon, for $99. Engadget has an anonymous tipster that passed along more leaked documents that seems to go along with the earlier information. Verizon’s Hero variant will most likely be loaded up with Android 1.5 and Sense UI and come equipped with a 5MP camera, Wi-Fi and a 3.2 inch display. The 528MHz processor should keep things running smoothly and to make you feel good about the whole thing, Verizon will throw in a 8GB microSD card. The price is $199.99 but there is a $100 mail-in-rebate and for that price, you will need to put your signature on a 2 year contract. So it looks like Big Red will be launching its first two Android devices on the same day. Of course, the Motorola Droid will be sporting Android 2.0 and carries on its’ back the heavy weight of being an iPhone challenger. The DROID Eris is more like your run of the mill Hero.

Are you preparing to call in sick on November 6th so you can camp-out at your local Verizon Wireless store and be the first to buy a new Android powered phone at 6am? So if, you might not have to. One of our tipsters, which happens to work at a Verizon store with slow traffic, say they have received a large quantity of Motorola DROID (100) and HTC DROID Eris (50) as of now. Furthermore, higher-volume stores will probably get double that amount. So maybe it would be better to just go during your lunch break or after work instead. But if you are still worried, you can pop on over to BestBuy today and pre-order the Motorola DROID to be guaranteed one.
A leaked video that shows off the UI of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10-better known as Rachael-also gives us an important clue about the device. The title of the video gives away the interesting news that Rachael’s display will have the same 480 X 854 resolution as the Motorola DROID. As for the video itself, we get to see and hear how Rachael will display and play your tunes, videos and pictures. Sony Ericsson’s first Android handset is shaping up nicely. Forget being an iPhone challenger, it looks like the X10 will be a real DROID challenger.
