I still get the message "Sorry, the Nexus One phone is not available in your country or region" on google.com/phone. I can buy a Nexus1 for 500€ on eBay, compared to 139€ for an iPhone 3G with a data contract. I'm still holding out for a decent Android option though.

that's kind of comparing apples to oranges. an unlocked iphone is about $1000, but an unlocked nexus one is $529. a t-mobile locked nexus one is only $179, and an at&t locked iphone is $199.

  Sure, but right now my only two options are a bad apple and an expensive orange.

    Where are you? Plans without a phone to subsidize are typically cheaper.

    So when you pay $1000 over a period of one year is cheaper than paying $500 in few minutes?

The HTC Desire is for all intents and purposes exactly the same phone as the Nexus One, and is available just about everywhere for a bit less than the iPhone.

Nexus One isn't the only phone running android. The other popular ones I've heard of are Motorola Droid (the GSM version is called Cliq/MileStone i think so) and HTC Hero. Also there's a low-end Android phone by HTC called HTC Tattoo. But I would say no to it since you get what you pay for. Not many apps run on it coz of the type of screen it has. Also no to Sony's Xperia X10 coz it runs Android 1.6 although it's a new phone. HTC Desire is awesome. Also it has the same specs as Nexus One minus the Google logo. It also addresses some N1 problems :) I would suggest that you investigate if the manufacturer is the kind that would support you by offering OS updates if a later version of Android releases. HTC seems to be one. I dunno abt Motorola. Get something that runs the snapdragon processor coz there's a very high possibility that these phones will get updates to a new OS version coz it's capable of running them better. A tip - develop using the emulator first and then buy a phone :) P.S: I'm getting a Desire later this month when it releases in my country.

  I'm very interested in the HTC Desire. Unfortunately, in Spain the options are rather limited at the moment.
