Looking at the specs of the Nexus One, I see that it has a Qualcomm 1Ghz processor. That looks nice. 5 megapixel camera, same as N900. 512M Flash, 512M RAM and 4GB Micro SD. The extra ram is nice, but the lack of disk space is a concern to me. It has a digital compass, which is nice. Does not have stero speakers builtin, that's too bad. So, as hardware it has some pluses and some minuses. In terms of the OS, I don't know people who have done any Android hacking, so I can't talk about how easy it is to really tweak the machine. iPhone isn't bad in this area, if you jailbreak it. But in terms of customizability, the N900 is still the tops as far as I can tell. (The FreeRunner probably beats the N900 in that category, but severely lags in the hardware). Many of my friends love their iPhones and will stay with them. I can see Nexus One drawing off some iPhone users, and perhaps even more WinMobile users. However, most of the people that I know that like the N900, I believe, will still be drawn to the N900 over the Nexus One. To me, it seems to be very much a question of how much you want someone else to control your phone and how much you want to be in control of the phone yourself. Personally, I prefer to be able to get in and fix bugs myself instead of waiting for large corporation to do it. So, my biggest gripe with the N900 is that it isn't as open source as I would like, even though it is much more open than any other phone out there (again, with the exception of the FreeRunner, which I don't believe is viable).

Yeah, that's better.... >:-( But the Nexus One is shipping today.
