The newest phone to come out is the new Motorola Droid, currently available in the U.S. only through Verizon wireless.

The phone runs Android 2.0, the mobile operating system created by Google. Having been released this week, new users are still pulling out their manuals and putting it through its paces. While there are iPhone comparisons flying around the marketplace, the consensus is that the Droid is only a mild competition, not an obvious superior.

Comparing iPhone and Droid

Dimensionally, the two phones are fairly close in size, though the Droid is the heavier by about two ounces, though much of that could be blamed on the Droid's having an actual QWERTY keyboard. Their memory is essentially the same--Droid's standard 16 GB can have space added to it to bring it up to the 32 GBs of the top-of-the-line iPhone.
