Had a Droid, liked it, but had reception issues in what was supposed to be a solid 3G coverage area, 2 miles from "2" different Verizon stores, and 3 blocks from Verizon CO. But I blame the Droid, following the much improved reception I had with my antennae mod.

I think the Droid has a lot to offer...obviously tight google integration, if that's what you're looking for. Native email apps still seem buggy after two updates, per the android forums. Again obviously, there are a decent amount of "useable apps". I may go back, if I can get a US 3G support Milestone, for the simple fact that they'll have Sling/HAVA/Monsoon support, which will most likely not come to Maemo. I do miss the larger screen on the Droid, along with the louder call volume.

I think that out of the box, the 900 has a lot more going for it. I was pretty much able to replicate "all" my Droid functionality with the 900, and its limited apps, back in early December. However once the Droid hits the app store, its game over. If NAV is what you're looking for, then its a no brainer, but I have in-dash NAV so its a non-issue for me. If the 900 had a few more "bells-n-whistles" on the native phone/calendar/email/(and media player for some people) apps, it would be really hard to beat.

For me, the 900 would be perfect if:

- The Flash based media players worked on the Flash sites I want to use (sling.com, xmradio online), or there was "an app for that", but that's not Nokia's issue to resolve.

- Louder call volume

- More options for setting "recurring events" in calendar

- The USB port was not so fragile


But my points are all moot, because the best phone is the one that fits your needs the best.
