Lots of people I've talked with here in Europe about their phones have really liked the HTC Desire, which is the European version of the HTC Nexus One, which was only available for a short while before being discontinued.  A few people still like their N900, but many have said that they are waiting for the upcoming Nokia phone, for which some have already pre-ordered (I can't remember the name now -- N8 perhaps?), but lots of people have said that with the Desire that they swear at their phone less than with any other phone so far.  But, AFAIK, it is only available in Europe, and I don't know if it functions with US GSM.
 
Currently delayed in Belgium, due to a 24-hour strike...
