So the 'web is stuffed with one particular piece of news from one source (a retailer called Clove) that they won't be distributing the Milestone 3 in the UK. Everyone is taking this as meaning the same as 'won't be distributed in the UK at all'. Surely someone will plump for it?

The original Milestone caught my eye back when it was released, mostly due to the hardware similarity between it and the N900. Went for the N900 in the end, but the Milestone 3 has piqued my interest, mainly because of the hardware keyboard (kinda relieved I didn't give in to my impulses and get a Galaxy S II now). Anyone else in the UK given it any consideration?

i would do if it comes with or can be updated to android 3 which looks very maemo. if not ill be running my n900 into the ground till a droid 3 hardware keyboard tab/phone is released
