2) The resolution of the Droid's screen compared to the Nexus One's is a VERY SMALL increase. Hardly noticeable, if at all, at a glance. However, the AMOLED Display on the Nexus ONE compared to the Droid's TFT Display is a a visual difference that can be seen right off the bat. The sharpness, color density, and brightness are all visually apparent right off the bat.
3) The Nexus One's screen is .7 Millimeters larger. However, in your favor, this is not noticeable at a glance.
4) The Droid is wider, and thicker, and the Nexus One is taller. The Nexus One is lighter.
5) It sure does have a keyboard, but the keyboard is very poorly made, with small keys, cramped space due to the DPAD, and the keys are very flush to the surface, and the tactile feedback leaves room for improvement. It's no TP2 Keyboard, that's for sure.
6) Droid ships with Google Android 2.0. Nexus One ships with Google Android 2.1. (Information taken from PDA Comparer).
7) I have 13 SD cards laying around, ranging from 1 to 32 gigs. Shipping with a 16 gig SD card is not an impressive selling point. The Nexus One ships with a larger internal memory capacity, double that of the Droid.
Thank you and please come again.

1: Since we're talking about proof, please prove that the "vast majority" of users won't overclock their Droid. The bottom line is, anyone here reading this probably would overclock it. And when you do, it then goes to 1.1 gigs- which is a faster clock cycle than the Droid. You want a link? this guy explains it quite well:

And that is considering equal clock speed. Remember, the Droid overclocks to 1.1 gigs- which gives it a faster clock speed than the Nexus.
2: Again, the Droid actually has a better resolution than the Nexus. there is just no way you can spin that into a negative for the Droid. teh screens are the same size, but one of them has a better resolution. Therefore, it HAS to be a sharper image.
3: Everything I am seeing lists them both at 3.7 mm. If the Nexus does in fact have a slightly larger screen (less than a mm) and yet a worse resolution, then that would make the Droid have even sharper images.
4: Same width, Droid is 3 mm shorter, Droid is 2 mm deeper. Looks like the same size to me.
5: It's no TP2 keyboard, no argument there. the TP2 has the best keyboard any phone has ever had up to this point. But the Droid's keyboard is still better than nothing. The Droid's keyboard is about like the PPC-6700's keyboard. We all loved that keyboard a few years ago. No, it's not a great keyboard by today's standards, but it is most definitely better than nothing.
6: Yes, Droid ships with 2.0. But you can easily update it to 2.1 if you want.
7: Wrong. First of all, 32 gig microsd cards don't exist yet, so I know you don't have any of those laying around. If you're talking full size SD cards- they don't work in either of these phones so why bring it up? Why not just tell me about your 500 gig external hard drive? It would be just as relevant as your 32 gig SD card. Second of all, the Nexus One does not ship with twice the internal memory- where are you getting that from? Here's the pda comparer:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer
It lists the nexus one as having 512 internal and that's it. It also lists the Droid as having 512 + another 16 gigs. Where are you getting that the nexus one has double the internal capacity of the Droid?
Nice job finally making an attempt to have a civilized and relevant discussion though. The pointless ad hominem was getting old.
