4-row keyboard versus 3-row keyboard, battery life, and software development community could be useful differentiators. Also, the OS's for the HD2, the N900, and Droid are in totally different stages in their development cycle.
My impression is that the hardware design is a little better on Droid than the N900: it looks slimmer, has a larger keyboard, and a reasonable battery life. Keep in mind that the OS's on these phones can probably be swapped, since the hardware is so similar. So I wouldn't make any decisions until you see a full rundown of Android 2.0 and Maemo5, a battery life comparison, and comparisons of app development, the usability of the keyboards, and the internet browsers. In my mind, those are the main factors I'm looking at.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.

I am confused.
N900 or this
I'll help: HD2
I hate windows mobile.
Sense UI on 6.5 is not bad at all (especially when running on a Snapdragon).
It's still Windows Mobile though.
For me, this phone does it. The N900 has a resistive screen and Android has more developer support.
When did you put Sense over WinMo? I will assume you must mean Touch Flo 3D
yeah, I guess thats what they meant, but I am sticking with N900.
its open source, like really open

It's debatable cause in WinMo you can also do whatever you want and there are a lot of SDKs around for multiple configurations.
