My statement is from experience. I used to have a Touch Pro which was replaced multiple times for various hardware related problems (cracks in the trim, batteries heating up, keyboard malfunctioning). After looking at HTC's other offerings, they all seem to be built to the same quality standards that the Touch Pro was...The Droid almost seems overbuilt, which is a good thing, Something I found out in the whole Touch Pro fiasco is that HTC doesn't really build their own handsets (at least not the CDMA ones).

What about the DynaTAC, MicroTAC, RAZR and various radios for sports and emergency personnel. Motorola makes good hardware, they always have. The reason why Motorola has been in the background for a while is that they were revamping the whole mobile division to drop Windows Mobile and migrate to Android as their primary platform.
Actually, the Droid vs N1 thing is probably a useless argument anyhow. The Droid seems to be aimed more towards a corporate customer (slide keyboard, industrial design). The N1 seems to be aimed more at gamers. In reality the only difference I can see between the N1 and the Droid is that the N1 has a faster processor and a trackball and the Droid has a slideout keyboard and a D-Pad.
