As you've probably noticed, we have something of a propensity for charts -- hey, organization is key to a well-balanced life, right? Since we last tackled an Android device faceoff, the sheer number of competitors has branched out far and wide, but despite the propagation / fragmentation, including today's unveiling of the HTC EVO 4G, three clear frontrunners have taken most of the spotlight for being the pinnacle of the Android experience: the aforementioned, HTC / Google's Nexus One, and the Motorola Droid. Here, the latter device is looking a bit long in the tooth, but that physical QWERTY keyboard and its volcanic rise to prominence gives it some strong staying power. Cold, hard data isn't going to tell the full story, but until you can get to try each of these yourself -- all at the same time, if you're lucky -- it's a great place to start.

Notes:
¹ A purported 2.1 upgrade has been promised and delayed more times than we care to count anymore.
² The Nexus One is currently available unlocked for T-Mobile's and AT&T's 3G networks, separately, and on track to hit Verizon, Sprint in the near future.

Is the RAM and Internal Storage numbers mixed up? I thought it had 1GB RAM and 512K internal storage.

someone throw the known (or thought to be known) HTC Incredible and LG Aloha specs on top of this and we'll have a REAL android comparison chart (throw a iPhone HD up for fun/to make people mad maybe)

The htc incredible should be added to this chart. And a row should be added indicating whether the screen is AMOLED or not.
