Is it better? Better than what? The only improvements on the N1 i know of is the noise cancellation double speaker thing 
.
I think the desire is better overall. Plus there's no need to burn a new rom onto it, thus invalidating the warranty etc.
PLUS i believe the screen on the N1 isn't that great, so hopefully the Desire will have a better screen

Pretty sure the N1 and Desire have the exact same screen, which is a very good screen in normal usage, it's just a bit hard to see in direct sunlight.
Neither support flash, yet. But it's in the works.

It does, I just read it on a video review
It's a sexy beast of a phone.
I'm contract free at the moment and and i'm thinking about buying this sim free, and then getting a cheap £15 month contract from T-Mobile.
This is because in no way do i want to tie myself down to a 24 month contract.
PLUS...... the resell fee would be a lot more on a unlocked/unbranded phone rather than one with Orange splattered all across it.
.. May be more expensive but at least i'd be free from any tie downs.
...anyone in my situation?

Remember you need the internet bundle - I'm on the £20 t mob rolling contract, 600mins unlimited texts and internet [3000 and 1GB fair usage respectively]

this is what i am doing, or a 12 month £45/50/month contract.
I dont do longer than 9 months with a phone, I get bored. Especially with all the new phones coming out!

It's not even out yet though! It WILL support flash, but the N1 will be updated too, so it's even-stevens.
Soldato
Well both, can you buy it sim free over here now?

Google ship to the UK and it's cheaper that way than buying from places like play.com.

Stock Desire has flash support, which kinda works, Stock Nexus doesn't YET, my Nexus, running the Desire ROM, does have flash too. Confusing isn't it

lol thanks i get it.... one last thing defo worth getting the nexus over the motorola droid?

Its the Milestone in the UK, which is annoyingly slightly different from its US brother the Droid. Seems to be less dev support than the Nexus or Droid for one, which is why I went for the Nexus....
Quite different phones: Moto has a physical keyboard, tough design, Nexus has the raw power and Google backing. All comes down to if you want a keyboard or not IMO, neither will disappoint.
Its been done, won't be anywhere near as easy as Desire ROM -> Nexus because of the massive hardware differences, don't think it's been done on the Milestone, but I could be wrong.... Its the similarities between the Nexus and Desire hardware that make ROM swapping so simple....
