WireFly are always hard at work evaluating the latest and greatest phones and they have written a nice little summary comparison of the Google Nexus One vs HTC Incredible:

In several critical areas, the HTC Incredible is the Nexus One trapped in a different body. Both devices are Android-powered phones made by HTC, and share the same amount of RAM and same 1GHz Snapdragon processor. While the Google Nexus One runs the vanilla version of Android known widely as the Google Experience, the Incredible uses HTC’s custom-designed user interface built over top of Android. The Incredible also has a more powerful camera than the Nexus One

The Google Nexus One has been one of the biggest launches of 2010, thanks to the Google’s name behind it.

Just a couple of months later and and the HTC’s own branded Desire was launched, with almost exactly the same spec and look, but HTC’s device comes with a couple of additions that Google decided to strip out of the device.

So, which wins?

Screen
Both the Google Nexus One and HTC Desire feature the same crisp 3.7-inch, 480×800 pixel AMOLED capacitive touchscreen.

Body
Although the Google Nexus One and HTC Desire have almost identical insides, the design is slightly different. To the naked eye, they’re the same size,but the Nexus One shaves off 2mm from the width and 0.5mm of the depth.

Navigation
We’ve already mentioned the HTC Desire’s optical trackpad and would say it’s certainly the easier way to navigate around the Android device, with more accuracy than even the touchscreen.

UI
Being a Google device rather than an HTC -branded one, the Nexus One uses the Android Vanilla UI, albeit running on Android 2.1.

Verdict
It’s a close battle, but the HTC Desire wins, thanks to its better UI (including multitouch), wider availability and optical trackpad.

Almost identical internally to the Nexus One, the Desire has the gorgeous HTC Sense user interface running on top of Android 2.1. However, developer Modaco has begun the port to get Sense onto a rooted Nexus One!

According to Modaco’s site, here is what we know about the porting process so far:

• If you rebuild the boot image replacing the kernel it runs. I’m running my own custom kernel with himem and bits.
• The system.img doesn’t fit on the N1 (!), it’s nearly 200MB. I booted by moving some stuff off the system partition.
• The trackball works.
• The 4 bottom keys work.
• The proximity sensor works.
• The LED works.
• The light sensor works.
• The compass and G sensor work.
• The camera works fine and is great with face recognition and touch focus.
• The FM radio loads, but makes no sound / finds no stations it seems. Maybe we need Desire radio ROM?
• Flash 10.1 is included and works well.
• It’s FAST!
