Manufacturers seem so Android-minded these days, that they actually get in each other's way simply because of their eagerness. One after the other, they all seem to have adopted the Google Android OS, which means we can soon expect a big stack of new Android phones. Some information was already floating around the Internet about Dell joining in on the Android race, and the most recent rumor indeed seems to indicate an imminent release of one or more Dell Android phones.

To keep things 'transparent', the DROID phone will also be released under a different name. For example; Vodafone and O2 in Germany offer the Motorola MILESTONE, which is indeed a DROID clone. The Motorola MILESTONE is an Android 2.0-based slider phone which is supposed to lift the Mobile Internet experience to an entirely new level. This all sounds great, although we're yet to find out whether this is actually the case in practice, too. However, the Motorola MILESTONE specifications sure look good.

As a possible release date, 6 November has been mentioned.
