I guess to do a good comparison you'd have to add in overall satisfaction over similar periods of time.
I'd say the D1 has held the most amount of eliteness (is that a word??) for the longest period of time. That will be tough to beat. That does nothing with assisting someone with making a phone purchase tomorrow though but folks were buying them still early this summer before the phone was discontinued.
I got my droid last November. It rolled out with the latest and greatest Android version that existed on any other phone. Within a month it got an upgrade, OTA. By the end of December it was rootable but most people didn't know what to do with that root capability because there were no unoffical roms, themes, or kernels that had been developed yet.
Since that time the phone has had 2 more OTA updates issued for it. The D1 has had 4 different official Android versions put on it by Moto. I doubt there will be another before it is a year old. I also doubt any other phone out there can say the same thing.
On the hacking side we've all seen the sheer numbers of roms, kernels, and themes as well as the continued support for the D1.
Is the phone faster than anything out there? Not anymore. Might it end having the best 1 yr run of any android phone out there? Maybe. We'll have to see how the rest fair as they approach their 1 year birthdays.
