Just buy an Incredible or an EVO or any other HTC android phone out there with better hardware, take your pick. What is the point in pretending. Good for you for doing it though.
@Timmmmmm Also the most readable screen in bright conditions and unlike HTC whose screens are plastic and very easily scratchable, the iPhone uses glass and much more scratch proof. Also, the iPhone has a nice clean design and tons of accessories. Both my cars came with pre built iPhone integration.
@Marmite Turkey I didn't realize that. Colleague of mine has one at work and we had conducted an iphone v. Droid v. Nexus One comparison at our office some time back. The Nexus One screen was by far the hardest to read in any bright lit condition. I assumed it was the plastic screen that was causing it. The image had a washed out look compared to the Droid or iphone. Also, the touch screen was not as accurate....otherwise it has excellent build quality. It doesn't have the cheap chrome accents of the iphone (which are very low quality materials) and doesn't have the industrial look and weight of the Droid. I thought the Nexus One was the best 'looking' phone, but it had the worst screen (in terms of actual use) of the three....spec wise it was supposed to be the best. Spec wise the iphone had the worst screen, but it was the most easily readible in all conditions and definitely did the best job with video and pictures.
@jaffreywali HTC are glass screens, and the EVO is LCD, so it will do well in sunlight. Also the new touch sensors on the incredible and EVO are as accurate as the iPhone now. I like the iPhone but those are invalid arguments until the iPhone 4 brings something new that no one else has. Battery life would be the only thing the iPhone has hardware, and that's mostly due to the lean nature of the operating system. I see no reason to do this except you have an iPhone, and want to dabble in Android for free.
@jaffreywali in terms of build quality the nexus one wins but in terms of userbility the iphone wins ( and for me, who HATE'S Mac's, is surprising and i even have a iPhone 3g that I love. The only good thing Apple have done is the iPod/iPhone/iPad line)

@TankerZ iPhone still has by far the best touch screen. That's the only reason I can think of...

Of course that was based on an informal test...
