Well i took the 500$ plunge and got the ATT N1 and i can tell you two issues that i had with my tmobile version do not exist with my ATT one. No issue with 3g AT ALL, i have never been on only edge. and the bottom touch buttons seem centered and sensitive enough now.
Possibly a later build with the kinks ironed out? Either way i am now 100% happy with the N1 and will go so far as to say it was worth the 500$ because im able to sell my blackberry and get some of my money back from that

Got pretty turned off this phone since I couldn't play with it in a store, and I didn't like the lack of a keyboard, so I'm going for the MyTouch 3G Slide instead, it's a great alternative for t-mobile guys out there to consider, I'm sold (not my pic) I will have mine on Monday 
It's a lot like my MDA only better camera and much smaller form factor

With the eyes of the technology world squarely on Apple's iPhone 4, Google quietly announced it will stop selling the Nexus One, its first and possibly only foray into the smartphone world.
In a two-paragraph post on its official blog, Google's Nexus One team said the next shipment of the phones will be the last.
"Once we sell these devices, the Nexus One will no longer be available online from Google," according to the post.
The announcement was made Friday, the same day that Apple CEO Steve Jobs held a news conference to announce the company's solution for reception problems with the popular iPhone 4.
Running on Google's Android operating system, the Nexus One was released in January to mostly positive reviews from the tech blogosphere. Early users compared it favorably to the iPhone and liked the ability to buy the phone, albeit for more money, without a data plan from a particular service provider.
But sales were anemic, with the phone selling only 135,000 units in roughly the same time it took the iPhone and the Droid -- Motorola's phone that runs the Android system -- to sell 1 million.
Many blamed Google's experimental try at selling the Nexus One only in its online store. The company abandoned that approach in May, offering the phone in brick-and-mortar stores for the first time.
With the announcement, Google seems satisfied to write off the Nexus One as a tool to experiment with Android's features.
Recently, the search engine giant has been pushing Android users to phones made by other manufacturers, such as the HTC Droid Incredible. May's announcement mentioned both the Incredible, for Verizon customers, and the HTC Evo 4G from Sprint as phones that have benefited from advances made on the Nexus One.

I think they realized they don't need to do it. Android devices are selling at such a high rate, they are diminishing returns by putting all that effort into one device. It's dev phone anyway.

The idea a year and a half ago was to do the Nexus One to try to move the phone platform hardware business forward. It clearly did. It was so successful, we didn’t have to do a second one. We would view that as positive but people criticized us heavily for that. I called up the board and said: ‘Ok, it worked. Congratulations – we’re stopping’. We like that flexibility, we think that flexibility is characteristic of nimbleness at our scale.
Google will continue to support the phone and it will still probably get Gingerbread before the others. Cyanogen still uses it as his primary phone so you will definitely get support from him. He doesn't seem to be upgrading his phone any time soon.
They're making so many advances with the phone. They've been able to add 720p HD recording and they're working on the FM radio transmitter. As long as Cyanogen is around, you will get your updates. Maybe unofficially, but at least you know its there.

Plus it isolates their hardware partners like motorola, samsung, etc when they make a device that competes with them. This is why MS never designed their own Windows Mobile phones.
