I heard it's going to be less than 500 euro in Germany without a contract, so that looks like a definite buy for me. (I've also been considering the XPeria X3/X10, but I can't find anything recent about it.) About the navigation, I heard MOTONAV is free initially, but after a while requires payment. But won't we be able to simply install Google Navigation? I’m from Netherland too, and the Droid/Milestone definitely tops my list.

I don't really care about the nav missing, it seems like a useful feature, but I mainly use it when I go abroad and that would be too expensive with the use of internet and all. Plus my girlfriend needs navigation too sometimes, and she sure as hell isn't going to do that with my phone. So a seperate navigation for me, and a lot of awesomeness on my new Milestone. I'm already working in the Android SDK. It's awesome! This is supergood news.

No idea what Moto Nav is like, but as long as it has turn by turn then I can wait for Google I guess. No turn by turn means no sale.

Here in Finland, HTC Hero and Samsung Galaxy are only Android phones at the moment. Luckily phones are sold without contract here, which is great.

It has some kinda multi-tap zoom. I wanna know if maybe a dev. could put an app that allows pinch zoom? @audiophile – yes, 2.0 does have multitouch support, but the Droid doesn’t have pitch zoom.

So we'll probably have it. Kinda makes sense to complete the product before you launch it worldwide. From slashgear:
