Need some help choosing a phone.

I have a $600 budget, and I'm looking for a smart phone. I've had an HTC Hero, so Android is nothing new to me. I'm also very technically minded, so I can learn a new OS quite easily. The phones I'm looking at are the Nokia N900, Nexus One, and the Xperia X10. Can anyone help me make a choice?
 
Pick the cell carrier you want to go with before you pick the phone. Pick one that has the coverage you need when and where you need it. Tell us that first. And don't throw out a blanket statement like "all have good coverage in my area" - do the homework and make a good decision.

As for picking a phone, you are really the only one who can do that. Plus you didn't give us much to go on. How do you plan to use it?

What are your needs and requirements?

What device do you have now? Why are you replacing it?
 
I'm already a customer with Fido (same thing as Rogers in Canada), so any GSM phone will work. I usually don't use data, I prefer using Wifi. I mainly use a phone for applications, and to browse the internet.
 
Nope, either something with a lot of apps already there (like the Android market), or something with potential for new apps (like Ovi Store)
 
Don't rely on the Ovi Store. It's kind of (really) a mess on S60 so far. There doesn't seem to be anything in there for the N900 yet, but you can still get apps from elsewhere on the web.
