There is always a new android phone coming out, which is bigger and better than the last. Some people like this, some people don't.
There is always a new iPhone coming out, which is bigger and better than the last. Everyone seems to love this.
Samsung Galaxy S, it's not getting as much attention as HTC or Motorola phones, but it's still got the features. Plus, it's available for the cheap (about $59 per month with 1GB data transfer here in Australia)

The best thing about T-Mobile is going to a big tech conference where AT&T's network is floundering and getting a great signal to rub in the iPhone users' faces. On a more serious note, I've only used it in SF and Seattle, but it's great there. I only pay $40/mo for unlimited data. (No minutes since I use VoIP.)
How did you get a plan w/o voice mins? Every carrier fears those like the plague.
Unlimited data (with messaging) on my Droid for $55/mo. Reps might have to dig into their system for it, but it's there. Pretty good deal, esp on Verizon.

I have to agree here. I love my N1 but the 'touch' part blows.
I'm thinking about getting an Android phone and like the idea of the unlockedness of the N1. Does the touch part suck enough that it makes it overly difficult to use the phone? I had a G1 before and it seemed usable enough...
The 4" Super AMOLED screen has better constrast ratio and response time than the iphone4, but not as good a resolution. From what I've read (haven't seen an i4) this means iPhone is better for text, but videos / pictures should look better. It has a 1ghz hummingbird processor, which is supposed to be the fastest out. 720p processor, 8/16gb internal memory, front facing camera.
Its android 2.1, with 2.2 on the way, has wifi tethering, samsung has touchwiz enhancements which I find to be pretty decent (but don't like the menu screen so just downloaded a loader to change that)
the phone is very thin, my main complaint is that it looks like an iPhone so people keep asking me if its the new iPhone...

Next time include a substantive argument when you make an off topic and inflammatory comment. (And BTW I happen to agree with you about the iPhone.)
I fail to see how it's off topic ("Or, should I consider another device from Verizon, etc. instead?") or inflammatory (iPhone is a very good device).
I have a Droid on Verizon. Do not let the keyboard influence you too much, because it sucks. I almost always use the onscreen keyboard instead of bothering to open it. The only situation where I ever use the keyboard is for games that benefit from having physical buttons, Tetris clones in particular. Everyone seems to think that a keyboard is a make-or-break issue for them, and I felt exactly the same way until I act…
So I guess everyone thinking about a physical keyboard has to try it to know whats better.
It depends on what you want/need to do with your phone. If you travel internationally, The Nexus One is a great choice because it's GSM. You'll have to put up with T-Mobile/AT&T in the states, but when you're abroad, just pop in a foreign SIM card and you're good to go. If you want the fastest internet with no caps, look at the EVO from Sprint. With 4G speeds from 3-6Mbps in about 2 dozen cities and a hotspot support…
This will reasonably guarantee you that you wont be left out in the cold, when the new ubercool Android release is out.
In general, I have found Cyanogen releases to be better in terms of flexibility as well (CyanoGen "Spare Parts" app)
As on today, the options are Nexus One, G1/Magic, Desire, Evo, Droid, Slide, Hero (maybe only CDMA)
