Verizon now has two roughly equivalent phones at the top of its line. Is the Charge worth the extra $50 over its closest competitor? Could well be. The screen's better, the battery's bigger, the phone's about 20% lighter, and it's got an HDMI output. On the other hand, you may not like the UI.

I do like the Droid Charge. But I'm not sure I like it $50 more than its alternative.

And I still don't know what makes it a Droid.
