It’s been over 11 months since the Android first hit the scene with HTC’s T-Mobile G1, and in that time we’ve come to the conclusion that, despite having more or less a clean slate on industrial design choices and specs, little progress has been made in the way of variation. Stacked up side-to-side, Motorola CLIQ manages to stand out with a slide-out keyboard and MOTOBLUR skin, but under the hood, it’s pretty much as uniform as a netbook. Peruse for yourself in the chart above.

Update: We had a typo on the Hero screen size — it’s 3.2-inches, not the other way around! Stupid keyboards.
