The appearance of a leaked O2 product brochure seems to indicate that the Motorola Droid is on its way across the pond as the Motorola Milestone, which should give deep-pocketed European technophiles a tantalising new device to spend their hard-earned cash on.

Notable for being equipped with version 2.0 of the increasingly popular Google-backed Android mobile operating system, rumours of the Milestone’s imminent retail arrival have been bolstered by the appearance of an official product page on O2’s German Web site.
Beyond carrying Android v2.0, the Milestone will also hit European shores with GSM, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11 b/g), a generous 3.7-inch TFT WVGA screen (480 x 854), a touch-screen interface, a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5.0 mega pixel camera with 4x digital zoom, aGPS, and Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR.
Other features include the Webkit HTML5 mobile browser, a versatile multimedia player, MOTONAV turn-by-turn navigation, USB support, Motorola Media Link, application downloads through Android Market, and Google services such as Google Search, Google Mail, GTalk and Google Marketplace.
Interested? If so, the Motorola Milestone will come attached to a price tag of around €405 Euros (for corporate customers) – prices for the mass market have not yet been confirmed by either Motorola or O2 Germany.
Fellow telecommunications giant Vodafone will reportedly also carry the Milestone, which should see it confirmed for introduction in various other European territories in the coming weeks.
