I own a Nexus One. Its a fantastic phone, but I think everybody should know:
NO turn by turn navigation (available in US only)
GOOGLE APS really only work when you have internet access. So if you’re in Malaysia, either fork out roaming $$ or do without Google maps / navigation etc.
NO paid apps.
NO Google Voice (available in US only)

Otherwise its great.
