Home / Mobility / Android Smartphone Comparison By Sindre Lia, 12 November 2009 Several new Android smartphones have been introduced this year, but what model is the right one for you? The Open Handset Alliance has had a busy year releasing Android smartphones around the world. In the U.S. alone, carriers have started selling three QWERTY smartphones and three all-touch smartphones powered by Android this year. Android phones are relying heavily on Web-oriented features, but upcoming phones like the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 aims to give Android a new dimension when it comes to traditional multimedia smartphone features. That said, the Xperia X10 is still several months from release, and it'll likely not be subsidized by U.S. carriers. Anyway, we've put together a comparison of all the new U.S. Android smartphones that are available now. Hopefully that will make it easier for you to find the Android phone that matches your needs: New Android QWERTY Phones Graphics by infoSync World Motorola Droid Samsung Moment Motorola Cliq Carrier Verizon Sprint T-Mobile Pay* $70/month $70/month $70/month Screen 3.7" WVGA 3.2" HVGA 3.1" HVGA Storage 16GB 2GB 2GB Look and Feel Very Good Good Good Calling and Contacts Very Good Very Good Very Good Social Networking Very Good Very Good Very Good Multimedia Very Good Very Good Good Business Very Good Good Good Traveling Very Good Very Good Very Good Fun Very Good Good Good Staying Informed Very Good Very Good Very Good * Minimum monthly subscription cost Motorola Droid    Similar models » Score: 81% When: November 2009 Worth: $150 Carrier: Verizon Wireless Verizon Wireless' first Android phone is here, with a big push from Google's new Android 2.0 OS.
