Oh nice, so, obviously I’ve used an iPhone for years, and have had the DROID here for over a week, using it as my primary device. So I am completely comfortable with my assessment. It sounds like you have had your hands on the DROID for quite a while as well. Can you give your personal opinions, based on your actual USE of the DROID?
Because, well, that is what I did.
Unless feature-by-feature comparisons are more your thing, then go ahead and trust those.

And again I ask, how much time have you spent with both an iPhone 3GS, and the Motorola DROID? I’ve spent a lot of time with each, and while I use an iPhone as my primary device, I am constantly (CONSTANTLY) having to use other devices as my primary device for a week or two at a time in order to review them.
You can do a feature-to-feature comparison all you want, but sometimes a loss in one area negates in win in all others. Heck, put up a Corvette against a Kia, and go feature to feature…but if the brakes on the Corvette don’t work, I’ll take the Kia.
The fact is, the DROID has some things about it that just make it not as polished a product as the iPhone. The keyboard is an absolute mess, and while the software on-screen keyboard is better, it’s nowhere near what the iPhone has. For many buying a smartphone, they do a lot of typing (texts, emails, entering URLs, Twitter, etc.) - the DROID makes this a chore.
That is just one example.
