overall, i have to say that the vibrant is better, but the n1 is google's baby which most likely means, if it can support future versions of android, it will most likely get it first.
TouchWiz is the huge negative in all this.
Why would this thread be moved to the Vibrant section? Clearly people with a bias for the Vibrant will be posting in here... But anyways, I will be getting the vibrant next week!

I will try to go through what i know
Vibrant is better on paper: (forgive me if i get some details wrong and feel free to correct me)
Memory:
N1 512 MB RAM / 512 MB ROM
Vibrant 512 MB RAM / 16 GB built in

ok vibrants memory is confusing me. so it has 16 gb built in, what is this used for? than there is 512mb random access memory. I also read there is 2gb for apps, where is this 2 gigs? what about ROM read only memory? oh and you can still add up to 32gb on sd card.
if someone can clarify.

16GB total Storage
2 GB of that is for APPS
the Rest is for storage of movies and music and anything else of your liking.
and yes you can install a 32GB MicroSD card
That's more of an opinion, but you're right, some people like it and some don't. Personally, I hated TW2.0, but 3.0 is actually very nice and snappy.
TouchWiz is the huge negative in all this. Plus N1 will always get OS updates first.
I am going to have to vote for the Nexis one. I tried the Vibrant and just returned it today to Radio Shack. I couldn't get over the light cheap feeling of the phone. The nexus is one of the best built phones i have ever used. I guess I also prefer stock android over touchwiz, and sense as well. I had website issues, gps issues and lag issues with the Vibrant. I sure that will all get worked out but i do not feel that it will make it better than the N1.
Warranty support/technical support isnt going to be an issue, HTC is not going anywhere. Also just because the vibrant has "better specs" doesn't mean its a better phone. I'm not saying the Vibrant is a bad phone, I just feel that the N1 is superior.
