I know we have a lot of Iphone users here, but has anyone picked up a Google Nexus One phone? Certainly not trying to start a comparison test (there's enough of that gibberish all over the net already); I am just not a fan of the Ipod or the way that Apple keeps me from doing things I would like to do. The Iphone is a great product; I just think the Nexus One may be better for me. Anyone?

If you have any specific questions, let me know and we will try to get answers for you.
I am seriously debating getting one. I just need to see if we can integrate our work email and I'm a go!

da.bell, that Supersonic is awesome! I may have to look into converting to a Sprint customer!
PigDog, there are a couple programs that get good reviews for synching Outlook applications, TouchDown and...I can't remember the others Apparently the mail is not that difficult to synch; the calendar can be. And there are workarounds, if the spirit is willing

If you can utilize gmail for your contacts, emails, and calendar events, then any switch to the Andriod OS would be very, very easy. Some business' use google email services for their "cloud" computing and that should sync up very easily. However, I do have a Windows Mobile phone now and have easy access to the MS Exchange server but from what I am reading, Andriod isn't there yet but will be available in the near future or a application that you install.
The Andriod OS is a very open and encourages the public to create applications for it. They even guide you thought the entire ordeal with video's posted on YouTube. Apple does this also but since every application has to go though the "Apple Application Touch" to make sure that it runs correctly on the phone and by their rules, this slows the entire process up. However, Android allows their developers to create and then push out to the public. So, you are not entirely sure of what you are getting and probably the main reason why you should stay on the Andriod Marketplace site. That reduces the chance of a virus on you smartphone. So, it's two different approaches with the same results. One is faster than the other but not necessarily one is better than the other.
In the coming months, you will find out that Andriod will have tons and tons of new applications. Google is almost pounding this idea and approach down the thoats of programmers and they have the money to advertise.

My brother works for Google and has an N1 and loves everything about it except for the fact that he's on AT&T and can't get 3G on AT&T. He also has an iPhone that he switches to when he's on call due to the overwhelming amount of emails that he gets and the N1 without 3G can't keep up for some reason.

You will like that phone for sure. The good part about that phone is when updates do role out from Google, you are going to have the ability to install them without your carrier playing the middleman.
Later this year, Froyo will be out for Android and that is when the other phones that are running Android will also have the same feature as your N1.
Congrats and now go visit the Android market for some sweet applications.
