    I'm a sucker for a physical keyboard, so while the Nexus looks sexy, I could not abide an on-screen keyboard.

    I understand the concept of being addicted to a real hardware keyboard, I guess. But every time I pick up one of these phones (G1, Droid, or pretty much any other out there) the keyboards *suck hard*. I mean really bad. You have to use a corner of your finger to engage some of the buttons on these things, and to access other buttons you're pressing function or color or something.

    You guys must all be gnomes with pinkies of steel. Gnomes who are happy with an inferior app store. I'm glad you're happy though...

    If you're using your pinkies to type on a cell phone keyboard you're doing it wrong.

    I actually have pretty giant hands, and I have no problem using the keyboard with my thumbs. When I try to use the on-screen, I ALWAYS hit the wrong button with my monster fingertips and it is uber-frustrating.

    Inferior app store? You mean a store with every app you could ever want that is almost always free?

    Yep. Imagine that. Now imagine something better. That's the iTunes store.

    I am absolutely in love with my Droid.

    At first I thought that the keyboard was horrible and that I would always use the on-screen keyboard since that was what I was used to... I have since changed my mind and love love love the thing. After a month of using the keyboard I can't imagine not having it.

    Every app that I can dream of is available and free. Ya, I am sure that the iTunes app store has some extra stuff that the android market doesn't, but heck, if I'm not missing it then I guess I didn't need it junking up my phone in the first place.

    I wouldn't change a thing and am a darn happy camper.
