Droid price drops to $120 in some places, selling well

So you want a new iPhone 3GS? That’ll cost you $199 plus a two year contract with AT&T that can easily cost $90+ a month for one person. Not only that, but AT&T doesn’t exactly have the best network around. But what if you want a Motorola Droid? While that will cost you $200 with a two year contract at Verizon, this isn’t your only option. Sure, Amazon is selling the Droid for $149.99 with a service contract, but you can still get it even cheaper.

Yes, Dell is selling the Droid for a slim $119.99 price tag with a service contract. Also, along with this cheap price comes the stability of the Verizon network that has been dueling it out with AT&T lately in their attack ads.

You are able, however, to purchase an iPhone 3G for only $99.99 with a two year contract at AT&T. But you wouldn’t have the latest iPhone on the market and could harm your geek credit. Either way, it’s interesting to see how competitive Motorola and the companies selling their Droid are able to be with the pricing. Being lower than the iPhone and on a network that many people would argue is better, it seems as if the iPhone actually has some good competition now. After all, the Droid did sell around 200,000 phones upon launch and is already doing much better than the iPhone’s first suspected major competition, the Palm Pre.
