Motorola has aggressively positioned its Droid phone, which runs Google's Android operating system, against Apple's iPhone. The ads for the Droid--including the latest, the Droid Bionic--have emphasized what the iPhone can't do and what the Droid can.
There's another dog in this fight, though: HTC's Droid Incredible 2, which has been less touted, but also uses the Android operating system as its platform.
Claims in ads are one thing; how these smartphones actually stack up is another. The table below compares these three phones on some key features: hardware, software, and price. With this information, you can make a more informed buying decision when you head out to for your next phone.
