The Motorola Milestone, the non-Verizon variant of the Droid by Motorola, has seen an online UK retailer put the new, high-end handset up for pre-order.

If SuperETrader is to be believed, we can expect the Milestone to touchdown in the UK on 7 December with a ?439-shaped wedge of cash required to take one home.

For that price, the site is offering the device unlocked and SIM-free, in black, with next-day delivery charged at an extra ?7.99.

We've previously asked Motorola when we might see the launch of the Android-based phone in the UK.

A Motorola spokesperson said: "We've not yet announced availability of this device in other markets, but look forward to continuing to expand our Android-based portfolio around the world".

The Motorola Milestone has launched on O2 in Germany, suggesting the operator may offer the mobile here too. We will keep you posted.

UPDATE: Clove is also offering the Milestone on pre-order for 7 December, priced at just over ?401. Thanks to Tom for the tip.

Sony Ericsson's newest handset - the Xperia X10 - isn't due until February next year, but it's already up for pre-order from Clove Technology. The handset formerly known as Rachael can be yours for ?460, including VAT.

As previously reported, the X10 has a heavily modded Android 1.6 OS, 4-inch capacitive TFT touchscreen, and 8.1-megapixel camera and a speedy 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. It has Wi-Fi, HSUPA and Bluetooth, and comes with an 8GB microSD card.

It's packed with a range of apps, too. Mediascape lets you browse through local and online photo, video and audio content, and Timescape lets you organise and interact with your contacts across a wide range of messaging platforms. Both of which are part of the UX platform that will be arriving on several handsets from Sony Ericsson next year.

Oh, and if you need to see a few more photos of the device before you make up your mind, you can check out our gallery of shots from the secret preview event that we attended in London.

It seems HTC's new HD2, a high-end Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone, will be getting a suitably high-end price tag.

UK online retailer Clove currently has the device up for pre-order priced at ?540 for a SIM-free handset. Clove estimates the shipping date for the device as Wednesday 11 November in the UK.

All HTC has officially revealed is that "the HTC HD2 will be available later this month with selected operators across Europe, before rolling out to other regions in the coming months".

With initial impressions positive, the HTC HD2 boasts a high-res, 4.3-inch display, HTC's Sense UI, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS and sensors galore.
