Susan, the Droid is competing with the iPhone 3GS, which costs more than $99 even refurbished. Best Buy is also doing its usual thing of selling at the rebate price straight, so the Droid can be had at just $199.

Brand new Android phones will also be $99 with the HTC Erin rumored to be released next week. If you buy from BestBuy, you will get it for $200. And this is a much better device than the iPhone 3GS, let alone the 3G.

If you compare the cost at the end of two years, you are looking at about $3.5K so the $100 difference is rubbish anyway. Unless you go with T-Mobile (Cliq) or Sprint (Hero), in which case, you are paying significantly less over the next two years depending on the plan.

The Droid is $300 (and you have to hassle with the $100 rebate… and wait 8 weeks).

Brand new iPhones are only $99.
(Refurbished ones are $49.)
No rebate needed.
