According to blogs on http://www.computerworld.com the Droid has 4.3 inch screen and the iPhone is 3.5 inches. For me the Droid wins on a bigger screen, easier to see with old eyes. On the Droid you can dowload whatever you want, iPhone you can only download what Apple says you can download, like bikini wearing girls are ok from Sports Illistruated but not small unknown enterprises.
The Droid has SWYPE, an alternative keyboard that lets you swipe your finger across the keyboard rather than typing, which for me I guess I would have to try that because you could swipe the wrong keys as in typing.
With the iPhone4 they are having that issue with connections, you must buy a new case, which I am sure you have hear about.
I have several friends who have Droid's and once they learn how to use them they love them. My only issue on all phones, originally the new cell phone was huge and heavy, then we went tiny and now we are going back to bigger.

android is better, becuase it is fast and cheaper than iphone, you can selet it from following website,
http://www.china-phone.org
Actually contrary to what many people say regarding the size of the screen, bigger is not always everything. The iPhone 4 has 3-5 times more pixels with Retina Display than any other phone. . The human eye can only handle 300 pixels while the iPhone has 326 pixels per inch with 960 X 640 backlit display. Therefore the size of the screen does NOT matter since it sill has the best picture quality.
I have had a few Android phones and now I have the phone, I get to see exactly what all the hype is about. The Android devices are better for some because you are able to customize the phone as much as you want without relying on iTunes. The Android market is pretty cool but not as good as the app store on the iPhone. iPhone is also now a book reader while Android devices are not.
The iPhone is the only phone that I can say that saves me money. For example, I started working out and wanted a heart rate monitor which costs anywhere from $40-$80 depending on how fancy you want it, but I was able to find a full fledged heart rate monitor in the app store for $0.99. Same as when I go to buy groceries, I can scan the items in the grocery store with an app that allows you to scan barcodes, then it gives you various places both online and locally where you can get that item at cheaper price. The Android devices also have an app similar to that as well but it is not as fluid as the one for iPhone.
If you plan to go with any Droid phones, the Droid X is the best. That phone allows you to connect your phone to your TV and also can be used as its own wireless router which is PRICELESS. Those are features the iPhone does not have and cannot compare. You can get great prices on Droid phones at this website.

Each phone has their own pros and cons, but the iPhone is most likely the better of the two. However, the Droid does have a slide out keyboard which may sway some in that direction. Basically, if you think you can handle a touch screen only phone, go for the iPhone. Otherwise, the Droid might be a better pick.
