I have the Eris, but I haven't messed around with it too much.
It has that stupid HTC usb port thing, a smaller screen, and lacks android 2.0.

I'm considering selling my iphone for one.

I said I have the Eris, but the Eris does not make a good Mp3 player.

I'm developing for Android and the boss just imported a Nexus One. Its cool but useless IMO next to WM/Symbian. Its only for the iPhone crowd. Which means it'll probably do well.

Can you tell me if the MP3 player is any good? Reviews neglect to mention anything about it, and IMO that is a big deal for me. Every phone these days gets compared to the iphone, but fail in the one area where the iphone succeeds.

Didn't put any music on it at all. Will check it out next time I get my hands on it.

After looking into the phone more, the size is really appealing to me.
I have the Droid and this thing weighs a ton compared to the Nexus.
I'll have to get a hands on look with the Nexus before I consider a switch.
I'll also have to see how the virtual keyboard is because if I'm not going to have a physical keyboard, the virtual one better be damn good.
Also, I use my phone as a MP3 player also so knowing how good or bad the mp3 player part will play a big role in my decision.
I am also hearing rumors that the iPhone is coming to Verizon later this year, if that is true then I might as well wait til that drops.

It has a nice BIG virtual keyboard (only 16 buttons) with decent auto complete. Everything is kept very simple like all Google software.
And in case anyone is wondering, applications DO exit COMPLETELY. They are destroyed fully when you press back. It just shows the last few icons in the task manager so people think that they are still running.

Just bought a Nexus One. Between AT&T dropping calls at about a 60% rate, and having two things break on my iPhone in less than 3 months (the headphones, and the screen), I'm pretty much done with AT&T and anything apple makes that's smaller than a Macbook... And even then, I'm still not really sold on Apple anymore. I've never one had an Apple product that didn't break. Their stuff looks great, but they're fragile as all hell.
Anyway, I should get it tomorrow. Can't wait
After using a G1 for 8 months, and an iPhone for 3 (and over a year before I got the G1), I can say that I like Android about 100x more than iPhone OS. And now that I can actually get hardware that is on par with the iPhone... Well, I can't wait.
BTW, I have an iPhone 3GS with a replacement touch panel if anybody wants them. I tried to replace the panel myself, but I stripped the screws, so I'll either have to buy an LCD, or have somebody with electronics experience work on it, and I have no intentions of spending more money on this phone than I already have. If anybody wants to pay shipping, it's yours. Just get this fucking thing out of my life.

Wow, I just bought this phone less than an hour ago, and the news just broke that Google is gonna update the Nexus One for multitouch... Not something I needed, but that's pretty funny/awesome.
Nexus One gets a software update, enables multitouch (updated with video!) -- Engadget
I'll get back to you on that, Craig...

I've been using mine all day. And I can't really see why the lack of multitouch was such a big fuss. I'm not going to complain about added features, but I don't find myself missing it.
I do have a couple of complaints as an ex-iphone owner.The N1 is simply not a loud enough mp3 player for my liking.
And for the price of the phone they could have put a card bigger then 4gb in there. The Eris comes with 8gb, and Droid the comes with 16gb.

When you say the MP3 player isn't loud enough, what do you mean, exactly? Do you mean the external speaker? Through headphones? Is it just the software?
I want to know, because I might use this as my primary portable music player. I have an iPod, but I prefer to carry one mobile if I can.
I have to agree with the multitouch thing, after a few hours with the G1, I was over it. As long as the apps work, it doesn't matter if it has multitouch. It's not a bad addition though.

Through headphones. It might be the headphones I was using, because I noticed when I tried the apple headphones (which are known to be shitty) the volume was low and when I tried the headphones that came with it and it was a little better. Loud enough indoors, but I don't think they fair well in a loud city setting. It also depends on how loud you like your music, In my case I prefer if my music didn't get drowned out by outside noise, it may be time for me to buy in ear headphones again.
And I can't seem to find the equalizer setting I'm not sure if they are just not there or I'm just retarded.
Other then that it's a great phone. The screen is not the easiest thing to see in sunlight, but I have that problem with every phone I've had except the blackberry for some reason.

That sucks, but I might just use my iPod Classic, or get a ZuneHD or iPod Touch... I'm sort of on an Apple hating tirade right now, but I still like iTunes, and since I listen to podcasts so much, I'm kind of dreading having to handle them manually.
That's really the only thing I can think of though that I feel like I'll miss going back to android. Other than that, good fucking riddance.
