Last week Androidinius featured Samsung Moment for Sprint, apparently will be Samsung’s first U.S. Android phone.

Recently Motorola introduced DROID, Android 2.0-powered smartphone developed by partnership with Google and Verizon Wireless.

Here’s some facts about Motorola DROID :

• The world’s first Android 2.0-powered Smartphone.
• The world’s thinnest QWERTY slider at 13.7mm.

eWeek’s Michelle Maisto reported comparison of Motorola DROID vs iPhone :

• The Motorola DROID features a 3.7-inch high-resolution touch screen with a width of 854 pixels, to reduce the need for side-to-side panning. It boasts a total of 400,000 pixels. The iPhone, by comparison, offers 480 by 320 pixels, for a total of 153,600 pixels.
• Unlike the touch-screen-only iPhone, the DROID features a slide-out, four-row QWERTY keyboard. There’s also a multiwindow HTML browser, support for Gmail and Exchange, a 5-megapixel camera (the camera on the iPhone 3GS is 3 megapixels) and voice-activated Google searching.
• Unlike the iPhone, the DROID has a battery that can be removed. It also features GPS and is the first device with Google Maps Navigation, which offers turn-by-turn voice guidance as a free complement to Google Maps. Users can interact with it using voice instructions, such as telling it where they want to go.
• The DROID’s screen can be customized, and users will have access to what Verizon says are hundreds of available widgets and more than 12,000 applications. Like the Palm Pre—but unlike the iPhone—the DROID lets users navigate between up to six open applications at once.

The Motorola DROID will arrive on the Verizon Wireless network (CDMA 1X 800/1900, EVDO rev. A) on Nov. 6 for $199 after a rebate and with a two-year contract.

Verizon has been hyping the DROID with a tv commercial ads that highlights everything the iPhone lacks—but the DROID possesses. These include a keyboard, interchangeable batteries, the ability to run simultaneous applications and the option to customize the device with widgets.

Here’s the TV ads featuring in how DROID can beat the iPhone.
