I call that style dribbble-esqqque. It has no particular name. Just happens to be a trendy style. Words you could use to describe it, though:


iconography
fixed-width line art
flat color
flat shading


Your style is certainly a valid style, but the primary differences:


you used multiple stroke widths (instead of one width)
you use a lot more detail
you aren't using any shading for depth effect

Comparing your image and the original, a few differences are very clear:


Use a thick stroke for large details, all the same thickness;
shadow and light are done with solid color blocks;
smaller details are done with color blocks as well;
all stroke caps are round.


You should get a good grasp of light and shadow technique to give it proper volume, and for creating the vector shapes itself there are plenty of illustration tutorials around the web.
