The battle of the Droids??!

[Reeves360]

Verizon Droid Incredible - ETA (Rumor May), 3.7" Screen, Cost $199 (rumor), Cost n/a, 1Ghz CPU, 8mp Dual Flash Camera, No HDMI Output, No Front Facing Camera

T-Mobile HTC Incredible - ETA N/A, Cost $199 (rumor), 3.7" Screen, This might not ever come out for T-Mo but is a rumor right now. 3.7" Screen, 1 GHz CPU, 8mp Dual Flash Camera, No HDMI Output, No Front Facing Camera, (On T-Mobile this should support 4G with only a software upgrade. Same goes with all T-Mobile Android phones.)

AT&T Dell Swipe / Mini 5 - ETA N/A, Cost N/A (I would guess $299 or more), 5" Screen, 1 GHz CPU, Everyone knows AT&T sucks (Price, Coverage, Reliability) but this phone has a 5" screen and HDMI outputs! But you don't get a forward facing camera.

Sprint HTC EVO - ETA June, Cost ($199 Rumor) 4.3" Screen, This would be my top pick. It beats the others except the Dell by having a 4.3" screen, a 1 GHz CPU, and 4G! The EVO also includes a forward facing 1.3mp camera, 8mp Dual Flash Camera, and HDMI outs.

I'll take the EVO over any of the other options! With it’s second biggest screen, 1 GHz CPU, front camera, HDMI output, 4G data connection and $200 price tag, it’s a clear winner in my eyes. I'm guessing that the Dell will be more expensive but you do have to wait a couple of months for the EVO. The other 2 options you can get a bit sooner but are lacking too many features that the other phones will have for the same price or cheaper. I also feel like a 3.7" screen is too small which is why I lean towards the Dell (5”) or EVO (4.3”) screen.

Now the only other real deciding factor is the monthly price. T-Mobile and Sprint come out the winners when you look at total cost, minutes per month, and the fact they don’t have data caps. When I compared my share of a 3 person 1200min T-Mobile family plan it comes to about $65. The only company that comes close to this on a solo plan would be Sprint at $69.99. For that cost you get 450 minutes, unlimited minutes to mobile numbers, unlimited data and MMS. To me this seems like the best deal especially when compared to having to go with a $99.99 plan to get the Nexus One through Google/T-Mobile. The way it worked out for me to get the Nexus One I would have to pay $280 and then sign a 2 year contract that is going to cost me $35 per month for the EXACT some coverage, just a better phone.

$1120 is too much to pay for a Nexus One over 2 years!

I’m not sure about you guys but the choice is pretty simple to me. Deal with my slow G1 for just a bit longer and get the best of the best for a GREAT price. The EVO will beat out the competition for some time to come, $200 is a steal, and Sprint is giving you good deal.

Hope this helps you all out on making a decision on a great phone that you will enjoy for a good time to come. I personally love the Android OS and want everyone who gets one to have the best experience possible.

Best Bang for your Buck, HTC EVO!!!
