In the US there has been lots of hype and love for the Motorola Droid which has just been released by Verizon. In Europe the phone will be under a different name ‘Milestone’ and carry a few different features. Unfortunatley the turn by turn Google navigation will not be included due to licensing issues. But the good news is that multi touch is supported which is great news.

In Germany both O2 and Vodafone have confirmed that they will be selling the phone. In the UK O2 said they would not be stocking the handset and 3 have followed suit. T-Mo dont want it either, Orange havent much to say and Vodafone havent commented.

Why? Why oh why dont companies want this handset that is a great alternative to the Iphone and offers a physical keyboard on an android handset which there arent many of in the UK. Vodafone customers have only touch screen Android devices available to them so why Vodafone hasnt snapped up this phone is very strange.
