"My big reason on this one is the low number of apps bought per phone compared to the iPhone."
I actually use a Nexus One while my wife uses an iPhone. I confess that I like the Nexus One for the reason that the original poster mentions -- I am a geek and a customizer.
One thing I've noticed, having spent time with both devices, is that there seems to be much more competition from free or ad supported apps on Android than on the iPhone. I probably have 20 or so apps installed on my phone, but every single one of them is free. On the other hand, my wife has 5 or 6 paid apps installed on her phone. Furthermore, the iPhone seems to be well optimized as an app-delivery platform, whereas Android seems to be more focused on an integrated suite of tools (like Blackberry) -- it ships with a lot of stuff that I would have to grab as an app in iOS.
