Dude, Some people on here are misinformed on the phones…
I’m in the same boat as you are, My contract ended mid march and I’ve been researching this crap for the last month…All these phones use Android 2.1 (So it’s all up to what you want in hardware)
The Droid is a Good phone, but I wont settle for it because out of these 3 phones it has the slowest processor,(Which isn’t very noticeable yet) I think a bad keyboard (I’m used to touchscreens but was open to a physical keyboard but found it way to difficult to type on)…And My brother described the Droid well last week when he was playing with a Co-Workers “It’s a Heavy Brick” ( I’ve heard women say they love it because they type with their finger nails and touchscreens don’t work for them)
Between the Nexus One and the Incredible…..Your looking at 2 phones, Developed by the same company HTC, Which will probably be similarly priced, and both will likely come out within a month…
Two Difference…
HTC Desire will have an 8 megapixel Camera (Nexus one has a 5) , and Sense UI….I dont have any experience with Sense UI, but a nerdy friend ensured me that it was the nices User Interface he’s used on a phone…
Nexus One, I hear may have a slightly faster processor since the Incredible is said to be underclocked….
Either way, If you pick a Nexus one of Incredible you’ll be picking up 2 phones that wont be outdated for quite some time…To me the Droid already feels a little outdated. If the two come out on the same day, I buy the Incredible…

Nexus One is an AT&T phone; and from the reviews I’ve read, it’s very disappointing. The Android OS is awesome by most accounts, but the HTC phones are badly flawed. Avoid them. I work with a college student who has been through three high-end HTC phones in a year — had to pay the insurance in order to make sure his phones would be replaced, but the whole affair has been incredibly disrupting and frustrating. From the reviews I’ve read, it’s the phone that’s not so good.
The Droid on the other hand has been much more favorably reviewed. They will continue to improve this one, as well, because it is so darned cool! I’ve had a few Motorolas and while there are a few annoying things in them (such as repeating over and over again the calls in my calls list, rather than listing a person once, regardless of how many times they call me or me them…) Motorola has been pretty stable. A nephew bought an HTC Droid and really liked it at the beginning, mostly because it didn’t have the extra bulk of that keypad (on-screen keyboard only), and it was sleeker and rounder than the more boxy Motorola DROID. There again is that name – HTC.
The iPhone is still the highest rated. No one seems able to catch up; but they will eventually! And the problems with iPhone is 1) it’s only available on AT&T, 2) the way Apple limits their apps is really annoying, 3) Google’s OS kicks butt over the Apple OS, but you’ll have to be the judge.
I have a cheap, CHEAP phone that does the basics, and an iTouch for everything else. The combination rocks, but again, if you need full-time web access, you’ll need the phone to do it all!

OF COURSE it’s coming to verizon, don’t listen to the other person. go too google.com/phone and click on get the phone. you see the giant verizon logo at the bottom and it says Spring 2010? Yes. verizon is getting it in the near future. i’m not sure why people still say they’re not even getting it. what jibberish. i’d easily pick the N1. it looks so much nicer than the clunky droid and incredible. not to mention, with it being google’s flagship device, it will immediately get all updates right away as opposed to the other phones sold through Verizon Wireless that will likely take another month or 2 to push the updates to their phones.

Don’t get the droid… its way too overrated. If you like the physical keyboard then I guess you have no other choice. N1 is cool, but it has a track ball, which I think is no good at all, especially if you keep your phone in your pocket. The Incredible is the way to go… as far as info goes everyone knows that it is not underclocked anymore. It has almost the same specs as the N1 but it has vast improvements in some areas. Up to you… but I definitely recommend the Incredible. I heard April 17th as a release though.
