There is no reason to wait for the N1 if you want a physical keyboard. Admittedly some prefer the AMOLED display of the N1, but the Droid has a better color gamut so it really depends on your taste.

If I could do it again, I would stick with the Droid. N1 is a great phone, but it's not everyone's preference. Either way, more options on more carriers is a win!]]>Feb 5th 2010 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/]]>Feb 5th 2010 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/Feb 5th 2010 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/Feb 6th 2010 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/

My guess as to what phones will be on AT&T next:

Motorola BackFlip
Dell Mini 3i
HTC hmm Bravo, a new version of the Hero, well I guess the Nexus one could be in this list too...

Once I switch I don't know if I'll want the HD2 or maybe buy an unlocked HTC Bravo. ]]>Feb 5th 2010 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/Feb 5th 2010 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/
I don't like any of the announced phones for AT&T. Unless I missed something, none of them are running 2.0 or above.

I was contemplating getting a Nexus One, but the edge only coverage may bug me too much. I know there are rumors going around about an AT&T compatible N1, but those are just rumors and for all we know it is for a refresh.

So the only option that makes sense is the Milestone. I was very impressed when the Droid came out. If the price is right, and someone can find a way to unlock it easily, I will probably end up getting one of these]]>Feb 5th 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/I would imagine that AT&T will announce what HTC phones they are getting this month at the MWC. That has been what I am waiting for.

I certainly hope so, but since MWC is the same time as the supposed release of the Telus Milestone, I think that I will know what android phone I will be getting by the end of the month]]>Feb 6th 2010 1:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/Feb 5th 2010 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/Feb 5th 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/Feb 5th 2010 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/Feb 5th 2010 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/I would imagine they will announce them at MWC this month.]]>Feb 5th 2010 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/Feb 5th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/Feb 5th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/motorola-milestone-looks-set-for-february-18-launch-on-telus-at/

My sentiment exactly, I'm up in July. The wait is moot, but if they don't come correct with some android action by then, I'll be in a perfect position to head over to t-mob.
