I was stoked to get an N900 (why not yet? Being-in-Canada and money issues, I'm afraid) but the Nexus One looks mighty interesting for my use cases. If I'm realistic about what I'll do on my phone -- casual surfing, ssh'ing, music playing, gps, and photos -- then the Nexus One *could* be a great device for me. Of course if the photo quality sucks then I can't seriously look at it, but the HD2 is supposed to have satisfactory camera performance, and so the Nexus One may be fine in this regard.

I really like the fact that most android phones are receiving ports of the latest OSs. This increases the life span of the hardware tremendously as its supported well beyond its introduction.

Plus I *love* the slim form factor. This is a major selling feature for me, as I dress somewhat stylish, and bulky items tend to require additional bags. With this device, I can much more easily put it into my pocket.

My laptop handles the heavy lifting tasks, and the phone would likely act as a gateway to larger devices. That said, so long as the nexus one performs well in each function, it would be a fine system for me.

Lastly, the rumor that it's unlocked and will support T-Mo and AT&T sounds really nice as, being in Canada, our services are rather limited. We're waiting on Globalive to be locally born to enjoy 3G on the N900, otherwise it's edge city.

I'm looking forward to hearing more news!
