The N900's single shift key s going to take more getting used to than the offset space bar.

The machine itself is well, so small! But it does feel heavy for the size.
As far as the keyboard, the pictures make it look as if the Droid has dished rather than domed keys which would be better than the flat keys that some devices have. I'd still prefer domed for thumbing.

As far as size, it would appear to be taller and wider (but thinner) than the N900. It's also 16 gm lighter.

Other than the OS, they appear to be very similar.

Here is a side by side comparison:
