Droid vs iPhone, Palm Pre, and MyTouch 3G

By: Daniel Chubb | October 30, 2009 | 5 Comments

Following on from our post yesterday that specifically compared the Motorola Droid vs. iPhone 3GS, we wanted to give you another comparison that looks at the specs, and costs of the Palm Pre, MyTouch 3G, Droid, and iPhone.

Other than the Apple iPhone, Motorola’s Droid has become one of the most discussed new Smartphone’s, which has a release date of November 6 on Verizon Wireless. The phone is up for pre-order already, and if that interests you, head over to Best Buy.

So what do you do if you have the Apple iPhone in your pocket? Should you upgrade to the new Motorola Droid? This is what one article we found via Mashable hopes to find out.

Created by BillShrink, the detailed chart below this post takes a look at the features of each device, and also number of apps available, cost, and other specs. Those that do not like AT&T’s network will find comfort in knowing the Droid comes on Verizon’s network.

When you look at the cost over 24 months, you can see that the iPhone and Droid cost the same, while the MyTouch 3G and Palm Pre work out cheaper. Have a look at the chart below; visit GigaOm or BillShrink for more information.

    The iphone was innovative, all these other phones are cheap knockoffs. Think about it which would you rather have the original or the overpriced knockoff.

    These phones don’t cost any more than the iphone does. So get your facts straight. I like the iphone but it’s getting old and these are similar to the iphone but they change things.

    You never just chose something for being the first. You also *shouldn’t* just choose something because it’s made by apple either. You need to consider all angles, including the fact that you need open platforms if you want to reach a device’s true potential.

    Also don’t EVER EVER call android a knock-off of anything. Just because it is a popular phone operating system doesn’t mean its knocking off anything. Touch screens weren’t new to phones when the iPhone came out, sure it might have been the first consumer phone with multi touch but honestly most applications don’t need it. Most other things you are going to say that the iPhone did first are going to be incorrect, especially thing added later through updates.

    I want to emphasis the MAIN reason the iPhone is popular is because of the fact it was made by Apple.

    Bill.

    Are you still driving a Model T Ford?

    Methinks not.
    Rethink your supposition.

    Bill reminds me of those bovines you see in teh Apple store drooling over the new Nano’s because they launched a new color. Then there’s the ones that keep trying out all the different iTouch models trying to decide which one is right for them.

    If you shake these people and scream “THEY’RE ALL THE SAME” they look at you blankly and go back to trying to decide.

    Android is it’s own beast. It’s not a knock off. It’s an original product. There are iPhone knock offs on the market, but an android based phone is not an iPhone by a long shot.

    Every notice how every iPhone looks the same? That’s because you’re stuck with teh same Nintendo Wii interface that launched. Androids are total customizable, and you can set it up however you like. People have written complete UI rewrites.

    That’s what open API will get you for the OS, let alone app design.

    Sure, iPhone has more apps. Who cares. Most of those apps are crappy versions of the same apps already out there. Everyone is writing iPhone apps. More isn’t always better. Palm OS had over 100,000 appps and that didn’t save it.

    I know where I’ll be on Friday.
