The N900 alone will undoubtly outsell all Motorola's Android devices (Cliq and Droid) combined, but not necessarily all Android devices. Remember, Motorola won't most likely even sell their phones outside USA, because their previous failures. The fact that the original version of Droid lacks a SIM card slot doesn't make it better either.
Motorola RAZR sold over 100 million (much more than the N95) and since the DROID is a throwback to that, it may just click with most people. Its overly optimistic to claim that N900 will outsell the Cliq and Droid put together, Android may not be as powerful as our beloved Maemo but it ticks all the right boxes in this day of apps. Added to this, Nokia has failed to make much traction in the US market and the delay of the N900 has killed off any chances it ever had considering the DROID and Xperia plus numerous Android phones which are ready to go.

Motorola DROID will be on sale in Germany a week today as MILESTONE - thats fast delivery, much faster than N900 which was announced back in August and still bears a tentative release date.

The N900 is still in labour.

Be wary of speaking too soon.
