I still enjoy using my n900 but the vibrant is my primary.
Stop spreading lies. Everyone knows psx4droid doesn't support metal gear solid, zodTT said it would take a while until he can get it working, duh!

Vibrant < Facsinate < GSM < Epic4G < CAPTIVATE !
No nono no

EPIC 4G > Captivate > SGS I9000 > Vibrant > Fascinate > Galaxy Tab
best features - best build - has front cam - developers - least favored - 7in is too large for phone/too small for portable computing (tablet)

Unfortunately the Nexus S is plagued by the same GPS issues as the other models. That was the dealbreaker for me -- I "need" working GPS on my phone because I get lost very easily.

The screens are gorgeous, two of my co-workers have these phones and they draw the eye from across the cubicles (in a good way).
Oh really? I thought it had 0 GPS issues.

Btw I own both I9000 and an iPhone 4 and I can tell you the iPhone 4 screen is better. Why?
1) It is glass so swiping your finger is actually smoother. This isn't subjective, it is actually smoother try it.
2) The touchscreen is much more responsive on the iPhone 4 (this may be Samsung's shoddy software, but still a big issue).
3) The i4 is more visible in sunlight because it is Transflective, visibly brighter (more nits). SAMOLED is bang-smack between the Nexus One and the iPhone 4 for outdoor performance.
4) The i4 has a matte screen while the SGS has a blue-glossy screen. In the dark, the SGS screen looks better and vibrant than the i4. In the sun the i4 leaves the SGS in the dust.
4) The extremely sharp resolution helps things look crisp. The SGS also has a sharp resolution but when looked at a little closer things look cloudy because of the pentile arrangement of the pixels.

I wish with the SAMOLED2 they could have the traditional 4dot-pixel instead of the pentile, increase the transflectivity, use a more powerful backlighting, use a matte finish on a (gorilla) glass screen.
These will take its toll on the cost of manufactoring, and make it less effecient, but in the end it will be worth it.
Take the best of IPS and the best of AMOLED!
