Have you looked at the Nokia N900?  If I were getting a phone this
month, and if money were no object, I'd be deciding between that and
the Nexus One.  

I doubt that the apps for the Nokia are as mature as the ones for the
iPhone, but they are open. They probably won't get the amount of
development time the Android ones do, but they aren't tied to google.
And you can get it unlocked.

A zen teacher once taught his students, "When drinking tea, just drink
tea."  Later one of them found him drinking tea and reading the
newspaper.  When confronted, the teacher replied, "When drinking tea
and reading the newspaper, just drink tea and read the newspaper."
