When you compare the Droid vs Iphone I don’t see a lot of difference. The purchase and monthly costs are about the same and lets face it the Iphone has been around for a while and is a stable platform well known and loved by it’s users.
If I was in the market for a new phone, had the money and didn’t mind the hassle that owning an untested (in the field) platform then I’d probably pick the Droid. After all nothing is better than owning the latest shiney toy particulary when it’s in short supply.
