When you read the differences between the two, you'll be gald you gave up on the Nexus One. They may be small differences, but I think the Desire comes out on top with the FM radio and the optical trackpad as opposed to the trackball on the N1.

i can't stand trackballs myself....of the last two blackberrys i've had, both have had faulty/knackered trackballs.

You're right, I didn't spot all the contracts. Mind you, if you don't take the unlimited browsing with this phone, it's pretty pointless. Then it's a case of deciding on;

A) 18 months @ £30 with 300 minutes and unlimited texts and browsing , total £540 or

18 months @ £25 plus £50.99 up front for 100 minutes, unlimited texts and browsing, total cost £500.99

Im out of contract. I was going to try my luck at getting a iphone from t-mobile. The i read that they in talks with google about the Nexus One so i thought great il wait. Now they going to do the Desire which is practically the same as the Nexus One all be 1 or 2 things. So much choice.

there's a vodafone option as well. Looks like the nexus one will be superseded before it even comes out at this rate...
