It looks like the Droid has the iPhone hardware beat on non gaming specs. It will be interesting to see if the software (android 2.0 and apps) can catch up to the iPhone’s.
Well, The Processor says a loss for the Droid but in reality its the same since the Droid is under clocked at 550 it goes up to 600. So they should be a tie on that. As far as the Gaming/Hardware the Droid is the winner for 2 reasons. It has a bigger screen, physical keyboard, and a D-Pad. So its easier to navigate in games with the multiple options. As far as Graphics supposedly the Droid is better opposed to the iPhone. That I’m not sure about but from reports it says its more vibrant. Everything else is a good and accurate comparison. Now for storage its a Personal Preference in my opinion since 32GB Micro Sd Cards aren’t out in full swing to consumers so the high end iPhone wins on that. Also support for 32 GB we have to see if its 100% Accurate at reading it on the Droid. So I would give that to the iPhone or call it a draw. BUT its nice to have it removable so I can see why it would win.
I am looking forward to buy Droin. Any idea where I can get it in India?
thanks
Oh thanks, i appriciate that!
