Hey Sanj, welcome to my board. Thanks for the comments.

After another week of using the N1, some new thoughts:
- T-Mobile reception is really erratic. When good, it's great. Other times, like at my gym, it's awful.
- The nav has been superb. It keeps navigating even when you turn off the power to conserve power on the display
- One finger typing is still slow – like I mentioned, I really want Swype on the Android. Did you see the video I linked to above?
- One day I experience very odd battery drain – the indicator said the OS was eating up power. I charged it and haven't seen it happen again.
- The touchscreen isn't as good as the iPhone / iPod. Sometimes it doesn't register my taps, especially on the control buttons. Other times it gets too sensitive on the edges and if my hand gets too close, the N1 registers that instead of my tapping finger, ugh.

Not sure what you mean by it not being as pretty as the iPhone. It looks very close to me, unless you prefer the white iPhone. The feel of the material is solid and the look is quite sleek. I haven't put on an aftermarket sleeve or art skins on it yet.

Here are my list of what I think are the Nexus killer features;
- Google voice
- Gorgeous screen
- 2 microphone noise cancellation (haven't heard it but theoretically hawt)
- Free navigation
- Voice control everywhere

Downside
- one finger typing versus two thumbs
- no 3G in Canada yet :(
- Android is not as pretty as the iPhone or some of the HTC skins
