Price of Droid Phones

Now since everyone has come to know of the Motorola DROID, everyone wants to know the price so that they can get their hands on it. What’s to see is how it is going to be priced so as to keep it competitive in a market that has more than one player eyeing for a bigger piece of the pie. For a phone that boasts of top class features as Google’s 3D Maps, excellent call quality and a host of others, the only thing that probably could go wrong would be the price. In addition to that it depends how fast it will be available in overseas markets and at what price.

As we all know, Verizon is the distributor of the DROID phone. From my perspective Verizon is out there to attack Apple in more ways than one. One of the most important reasons being that Apple did not partner it where the iPhone was concerned thus leaving Verizon high and dry. So what does one do when a device that has probably taken smart phones to an altogether new level has slipped out of the hand? Simple. You partner with its competitor or in better words a device that’s worth being a competitor. Someone that can actually put up a brave front in terms of features and quality.

What has been let to know as of now, and I must say it’s truly shocking is that the price of the Apple iPhone and the Motorola DROID are exactly the same. There isn’t even a dime difference between the two. Looks like things are going down to the wire. If you can’t separate the two where features are concerned then you can’t do so even where pricing is concerned.

The price of the Droid is set at $199, with a two-year contract and a mail-in rebate and at $599 without contract. You pay $149.99 for an unlimited usage plan and $109.99 for an average usage plan. At $3,799+tax and $2,839+tax you can get an unlimited and an average plan respectively over a period of 24 months. I guess you get what you pay for!
