Regardless, I was keen to put the stats of these four devices side by side for my reference at least. In cases where items could be compared to some extent, I’ve highlighted the perceptual ’best’ and ‘worst’ entries in a light green and pinky red respectively (I’ve not declared a winner for the display row as I can’t find details of the Nexus One’s colour count and I’d argue that the N900′s higher pixel density counts in its favour over the Nexus One’s bigger display. The processors can probably fall under some debate due to extra GPU power that I’ve not considered, or the different multi-chip ARM hardware is used in different devices).

I should note that while the table suggests that the N900 and Nexus One have a similar number of plus points compared to the other devices, it’s worth comparing the text in green to the text in grey – some devices only just have the edge over others, and others are still highly spec’ed enough for most people (after all, who is really going to see benefit from a device supporting 802.11n wireless when others can manage 802.11g).

The amount of red in certain columns certainly is interesting though. Some may accuse me of bias – when I created the table I was certainly not looking for bias, and I’m happy to add other rows if I’m provided accurate data for all four devices.
