I think it might be worth noting (much to the chagrin of the Apple haters) that the iPhone does pretty well in this comparison, despite its relative age.

That being said, my G1 is looking sadly impotent these days, and I'm wondering what kind of shenanegins I'd have to pull to keep my current T-Mobile plan, but use a Driod.

The 3Gs came out the same time as the Pre, and after the HTC Magic.

The difference in the cost of plans is a bit shocking. AT&T and Verizon are 50% more expensive than Sprint and T-mobile, and T-mobile doesn't appear to have a data usage cap.

There isn't a GSM version of Droid (only rumors of one coming out), so Droid on T-Mobile wouldn't work.

Article compared the iPhone 3GS, which is the latest model iPhone and hit the market June 2009. Note that "iPhone 3G" and "iPhone 3GS" are different models.
