Yesterday, we decided to purchase an unlocked Nexus One from Google to begin development testing of apps for that mobile OS. Here are some pictures of the Nexus One next to my Apple iPhone 3GS.
Update: Danny Sullivan has an excellent review of the Nexus One vs iPhone - he writes way better than I. Plus he is not an Apple Fan boy like me.

Please tell us what you think. I would love to know how it compares to the iPhone.

Sweet! Nice profile shots, I know little about the Nexus so it is cool to see how it compares to the iPhone. What is your preliminary review of it? ANd really, is it that much better than the HTC Magic structurally or is it just running Android 2.0. Just curious :-)

Its funny how the Nexus is so incredibly close to the same as the iPhone. I am not sure about usability etc, but I imagine if you can use one you can use the other.

All I did was unbox it. Then gave it to Ronnie to start testing apps on.

Im Jealous. Get making some apps pronto :) If there is one area where if falls victim to the iphone its the apps.
One App you should definately check out is qik, on both android and iphone fantasic app for live video streaming from your phone.

I purchased the NEXUS
NOT as friendly as Iphone
NOT as responsive sd Iphone
Battery life not better - so far
NO support for HEBREW
EMAIL using EXCHANGE server - not so good. No
Calendar from exchange
Zooming in out - IPHONE much better
So - I will use my NEXUS when I travel, but IPHONE and APPLE still on top of the hill
