Palm Pre Plus vs. Motorola DROID, who wins? I am going to compare Palm Pre Plus and Motrola DROID side by side. Both phones cost a bit of money, with DROID $50 $29.99 more than the $19.99 Palm Pre, not a huge difference in terms of pricing. DROID is a bit faster when it comes to loading web pages. Some people might find the DROID keyboard easier to use because of the size. My take - if you want to save some money, go for the Pre. I don’t really see what you can’t do on the Pre Plus if they can be done on the Motorola DROID.

Here’s another comparison - possibly a little just a little bit more wrenching: http://mymotodroid.com If I had to write a conclusion to my comparison, I would be in agreement with Kevin: go for the Pre Plus. It’s less money and it does the same stuff. Nevertheless, in making this choice, there are some things you should know that Kevin doesn’t discuss, so please check out my extended comparison.
