Motorola Droid Just $20 to New Verizon Customers
The regular price for the very popular Motorola Droid is $200 with a two-year service contract, but new Verizon Wireless customers can get this high-end Android OS smartphone for 90% off.
The Droid has been on the market for six months now, so it’s not surprising that bargains are becoming available.
For example, Amazon.com is offering this model for $130 with a renewed 2-year contract, $70 below the regular price.

COMPARISON: HTC EVO 4G VS. MOTOROLA DROID
KEY DIFFERENCES
4G: The HTC Evo 4G is the first phone on a U.S. network to boast 4G connectivity, making it capable of connecting to Sprint’s WiMax network (where available) and enabling the device to reach peak download speeds of over 10 Mbps and peak upload speeds of 1 Mbps. In areas without 4G connectivity, the EVO will still operate on Sprint’s 3G network. Of course, the Motorola DROID connects to Verizon’s speedy 3G network.
Power: The Motorola DROID is a powerful device in its own right, but succeeding the DROID by a number of months, the EVO 4G is at the top of its class, armed with the latest processor and more RAM. The EVO 4G has a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and 512MB of RAM, while the DROID has a 550MHz processor and 256MB of RAM. While the difference may not be significantly noticeable in most day-to-day operations (e.g. checking email), the EVO 4Gwill outperform the DROID, particularly when many applications are running simultaneously.
Display: Like the HTC HD2 (T-Mobile), the HTC EVO 4G is equipped with a huge and gorgeous 4.3-inch touch sensitive 480×800 pixel display. The screen real estate makes the EVO 4G an ideal entertainment device — perfect for watching movies, browsing the web and even reading eBooks. The Motorola DROID also has an impressive and sizable 3.7-inch touch-sensitive display, and with 480×854 pixels, is slightly higher resolution and has significantly more pixels per square inch due to the display’s size differential.
