So is the Nexus One user interface going to be the default interface for all Android 2.1 phones (5 screens, animated backgrounds, etc) or is it an exclusive UI for the Nexus One (ie-Sense UI on some HTC phones)?
OP means eg not ie. He's not saying they're putting Sense on it.It's a GOOGLE phone with a GOOGLE OS why would they put Sense on it?
"Here's our brand new GOOGLE phone but we've put HTC's Sense on it because we don't like our own UI" ?
To my understanding, the UI on the N1 is default Android 2.1 but I could be wrong.

I'd like to believe google will put their own spin of senseUI on their phone. Simply because it's theirs doesn't preclude them from modifying from the "default" OS.
This is the new HTC Rosie...

2.1 is native for Android. Any phone getting 2.1 will have the same. From my understanding, only Google Experience phones will be getting 2.1 as long as their CPU can handle it, e.g. DROID. HTC phones with Sense will not be getting this OS. For that matter, Sense hasn't even been properly mated to 2.1. HTC has been working on getting Sense mated to 2.0.
OS 2.1 was meant for pure Google Experience phones. Likely any other HTC phone, already running Sense will get Sense mated to 2.0 which is what those screenshots were. And yes, it's very iPhone-ish, especially the way you add apps to the screen, where the icon bubbles move around and stuff.
From the same guy who in one post has Verizon first getting an unlocked Nexus One (which made no sense) to getting a locked one.
Yeah they haven't mated Sense with 2.1, this rom is just a figment of someone's imagination HTC Hero gets a leaked Android 2.1 ROM with Sense -- Engadget.
Of course this also must be why Sprint is giving its Hero a 2.1 upgrade Sprint
