It also comes pre-loaded with Amazon's Kindle for Android app, and supports a car dock and charging cradle.
Which Android handset is best for you? At this point, most of the top-tier smartphones are about on par with each other internally, so it's simply a matter of hardware preference. (Prefer big screens? Go DroidX. Don't like Motorola? Go Incredible. And so on.)
