So guess what Motorola loving UK fans? The DROID is coming to Europe. That’s right; courtesy of Vodafone and o2 wireless, the device will be available on November 9 2009 for the totally reasonable price of just €404.20 to corporate customers.

The only major difference between the MILESTONE and the Verizon version (DROID) is the cellular technology (MILESTONE will be GSM) and the exclusion of Google Maps in exchange for MOTONAV which Motorola boasts sports turn-by-turn directions just like the Google Maps version.

Some of the major features you can expect from the device include Android 2.0, an updated browser that now includes pinch to zoom just like the iPhone and Palm Pre, multitouch, full QWERTY keyboard with 5 way directional pad.

The capacitative multitouch screen is 3.7 inches (0.2 bigger then the iPhone) and sports 480×854 pixels (WVGA). Running the show is one of the most powerful processors we’ve seen on an Android phone ever. Thanks to the Arm Cortex A8 CPU which boasts 550MHz (downclocked from 600MHz), you can expect to get great gaming performance from the device as well as smooth animations etc. While the performance might not be on par in all areas as the Pre or iPhone, it is still a worthy opponent. Wrapping things up is a 5 megapixel camera that sports an LED flash and can shoot videos as well.

In case you missed it, the device will be for €404.20 and lands on November the 9th.
